..to a new album (something you haven't heard before)? there's so much good music being released i rarely check an album more than 3 times...sometimes only once...and there were like 5 albums out of let's say 100 this year, that i played more than 10 times... |
||||||||

i listen to allot of the members stuff now, aud stim and polychromatic records have some amazing releases. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
once straight off, then if i really get into it I listen again. sometimes i leave a gap before listening again. always try to find excuses to listen to new music... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont buy so many records anymore, so i have plenty of time to listen to new stuff i got. if i only listen to an album once, i definitely didn't like it much. |

I have a bad habit of doing that. This looks to be a real good year for music so far - the very good albums are getting eclipsed by the awesome ones. |

heh, tell me about it...i got about 10 albums last week...i have 7 or 8 in the mail...and i ordered today 7 new ones :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and im keeping it low...if i wouldn't care about money, i'd surely order 15 instead of 7 today. |

Is that going to be Yankee Hotel Foxtrot II or are they veering off in a different direction now? |

I'd be more like you if I didn't have Emusic. It keeps my spending in check. |

v.much different. YHF was electronic-studio-loops-synths based. This new album is very much live instruments based. They tried to avoid overdubbing where possible and is all played live. Amazing musicianship. Definately give it a listen. its available to stream from their website if u want to hear it... Hummingbird and Company in my Back are my faves at the moment. Quite brave at the end of humming bird to sound so... traditional? |

Amazing musicianship, and also amazing songwriting. And nice clear and understated production that serves the music. I'm impressed. It's going on my must have list. |

glad you like it. there's a nice biography section on their label's site (). Gives some nice insight to the band's aims/methods/etc. going to see them on July 15th... gonna be amazing :) |

Unfortunately, there's a lot of forgettable crap not worth my time that I only listen to once or twice, but there's tons of pleasant albums that I listen to every day for a week or so. And when I find an album I REALLY like... I listen to it a lot, sometimes too often, and I find myself forcing myself away from said artist/album to go find someone/something new. |

about 3 times a day during 3 or 4 days |

It ultimately depends on how much i like it when i first listen to it. If i like it alot i will listen to that album almost exclusively for about a month. |

It all depends on how much I like it at first. If it doesn't grab me, I might not even listen to it all the way through; listening to something else that is new instead. But I'll always come back to it eventually, usually during a lull in my CD buying. And often only a few of the tracks on an album might seem to stand out at first, so I'll listen to them a fair bit, then slowly work my way out through the rest of the tracks. This happened with Drukqs. I mostly listened to a few tracks on the first disc before getting into the rest of the album. Either way, I nearly always end up listening to and enjoying albums a great deal. |

usually with the stuff i am anticipating, usually new albums by artists i follow, i'm pretty sure i'll like at least most of it and so i listen to it all the way through as soon as i buy it. often i like it so much i listen to hardly anything but that for a few days. then i put it away for a while. so it was with drukqs. everything else i try to download first so i can see if i like it enough to buy it. if i find i listen to the mp3s enough, i'll buy the CD as above. recently, this has happened for all of the boards of canada stuff, autechre, and squarepusher...i got sick of the mp3s and am now buying all their CDs. |

Depends on the quality of the album. If the album as a whole is not that great, but a few tracks are, I will usually just listen to those tracks. Otherwise I really enjoy giving my albums a full listen. I hate skipping to a specific track, Im a big proponent of listening to the progression of songs as the artists intend. |

I usually listen to a few new albums almost every month. Its hard to keep up, theres a lot of good stuff out there. I'm still discovering amazing older releases that I haven't heard yet and re-listening to them a lot. stuff like Quench's album "punctuated", Audiomontages "snert" and Crunch "1". |

I never listen to single tracks... I listen to the whole album... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
huh, i can't remember what was the last album i listened from begining to end...i normally skip tracks...even on compilations i sometimes make, i often skip tracks or move forward...im probably missing a lot... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
depends.. I mostly don't listen to the same stuff several times in a row.. there's always something else in between. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
well, that's kind of normal isn't it? :) |

My roommate in University would listen to the same song on loop for about 10 times before changing it. And he had a massive stereo hooked up to his computer. I remember our second night of university, I'm sleepin at like 12am and my roommate stumbles in, pukes on the floor in the dark, and CRRRAAANKS the new R Kelly album on his stereo while Im sleeping and he goes to sleep with that on like high volume. The next day I set him straight, but as a compromise he told me he always had to sleep to some sort of background noise, so he would watch about 20 minutes of a dvd and then fall asleep with the movie still playing through. Weird shit man... weird shit. |

find a girl man... you're going to do the greatest background noise he hadn't heard yet... |

I've got some cousins with less than satisfactory tastes that used to listen to single Linkin Park songs for up to a half hour, but I think I'm rubbing off on them... one of them, at least. I listened to a Sonics song like 4 times in a row this morning. |

im really tempremental about what i can get into, i tend to buy things, sometimes not even play them all the way through... im very much into mood, so how im feeling is what ill listen to... and i have all this stuff that ive never listened to for that time where i feel like something new :) |
||||||||
|
|

I conform to my own rule: I listen to single track ONLY ONCE per day. I do not have time to listen all my albums with required attention, so I am forced to treat it as a background - not preffered way of perception as for me. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pretty much what i do...though, i give a quick listen to every new album i get. quick listen meaning, like whole album in one minute...sort of browse through... |
