09.09.10 | I used to be a song person but i decided to just start buying full albums, and its a lot better that way because you realize you like songs you might not have ever listened to. |

09.09.10 | Albums. |

09.09.10 | yeah or you hear a song by a band or artist and you think it's not that good but the rest of their album could be awesome. I've been collecting since i was about 15 so i've been an album person for a long time tbh (just over 10 years since my old ass is 25 wow that is scary! :-s) |

09.09.10 | I've become a lot more of an albums person since 2008, but I think I'm still more a songs person. I have a lot of playlists that convey feelings and group certain songs together (for example: soft songs, songs good for driving at night, songs that remind me of a clear day, songs that are excellent while playing racing games, etc.). And I also have my playlist of all my favorite songs (660 songs and counting), and I listen to that when I can't decide on what album to listen to.
So yeah...my Last.fm shows that I've been listening to solid albums quite a bit, but if I'm honest with myself, I'm definitely a songs person. |

09.09.10 | Mostly, I prefer whole albums. Unless an album is terribly inconsistent, or all the songs sound the same (and there are quite a few examples of both), I'm eventually going to like an album if I like one or two songs from it. |
Maniac!
09.09.10 | 5 > list
also, it depends. Usually albums, but I make playlists often if I have heard the albums enough times |
BigHans
09.09.10 | Songs, unless its an epic album. |
Gmork89
09.09.10 | What Hans said. |
Motiv3
09.09.10 | album all the way. Used to be a song guy but now i generally listen to albums more all the way through. |
Maniac!
09.09.10 | That's because Hans has a severely short attention span. |
BeardedIdiot
09.09.10 | I start liking at least 2-3 songs. slowly, the whole album either grows me song-after-saong (veeeery slow process for me, believe it) or not. |
taroo
09.09.10 | depends... a little of both |

09.09.10 | @ Maniac! - Although Still Life is possibly my fave album i've bought so far this year it's quickly becoming tied with Watain. I've only got round to listening to Lawless Darkness at last a few days ago, and it is awesome! It's like Sworn to the Dark turned up to 11 along with better songwriting and more epic scope than anything i've ever heard by them before. So for the moment Still Life is my number 1 for the year but it may change pretty soon tbh. |

bloc
09.09.10 | I'll always listen to a full album and then delete the songs I did not like, so I guess I'm a song person. |
Hawks
09.09.10 | Definitely albums. I used to be able to listen to songs, but now it has to be the whole album. |
UnnamedOcean
09.09.10 | It's albums for sure. I can't just have half of a whole picture, especially since many bands I listen to have some reason for all the songs being where they are. |
Yotimi
09.09.10 | Songs for 90s one hit wonders and albums for everyone else. |
theacademy
09.09.10 | songs only albums r4 fagz! |
Romulus
09.09.10 | on an album review site you won't get too many people saying songs. |
Yotimi
09.09.10 | Are you gonna listen to a whole Harvey Danger album or just Flagpole Sitta? |
theacademy
09.09.10 | lolol @ the perfect example. |
theacademy
09.09.10 | except if you live by that philosophy, you might miss out on the entire Marcy Playground album, which is divine. |
Prolapse
09.09.10 | i just never bother listening to music |
Yotimi
09.09.10 | good call academy but it works 95% of the time |
tiesthatbind
09.09.10 | Eh, a mixture of both really. |
Sheeple9000
09.09.10 | I'm soooooo cool, I watch specific epic battle scenes in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy instead of sitting thru the whole thing. |
Yeahtoast
09.09.10 | Eh, a mixture of both really. [2]
If I like a certain tune I'll try my best to give the whole album a spin |
eternium
09.09.10 | Real music lovers go by albums. |
JWT155
09.09.10 | Albums, always prefer listening through a record like it was meant to be heard. |
crazyblinddude
09.09.10 | I listen to albums because that is the way artists intended the music to be listened. And if you have a deep apprecation for music you will most likely agree with that. |
DiceMan
09.09.10 | If I'm passively listening it tends to be albums more, but if I'm traveling somewhere and all my attention is on the music, usually I throw on a playlist or just flip to whatever I'm feeling at the moment. |
