>Anon mindlessly listens to tons of new albums without giving any of those albums once a replay
>Anon mindlessly listens to the same 5-10 albums without discovering much music
Which one are you /my/
>>72954286
*/mu/
Used to be A, now I'm B
I'm A for a month then B for a month with certain albums from A, then back
A, although in between new listens I re-listen to my all-time faves
>>72954286
I'm the second one for about 5 years
then I'm the first one for a couple of months
then I'm the second one again for another 5 years
and so on
>>72954286
I'm B, I still listen to In Rainbows everyday. Before that it was Low
I listen to tons of new albums, then repeat the shit outta those which i loved.
>>72954286
A usually
B in times when I've got lots of work but swap 5-10 albums for 2-5 artists
the first one, but only because I was the second one for awhile
>>72954420
are you me?
and I'm in my B phase right now
>>72954286
Second, but I also have about 700 albums that I have neglected to listen too and am in the process of getting around to.
>>72954500
This, I rarely ever run into an album I liked after having disliked it before.
>>72954286
A when I was younger but definitely turned into B over the years.
>>72954286
BOTH
B, but I go in phases
Listen to the same group of albums for months, then find some new stuff to wear out
>>72954286
The former, I compulsively collect music to fill the gaping void in my life. I'm drowning in stuff I haven't yet listened to but finding rare albums and getting new CDs/records in the mail is half the thrill.
>>72954286
Formerly B, now A as I'm diving deeper into new genres.
>>72954286
I can honestly say I'm pretty healthily in the middle these days, but I used to be a less extreme version of A.
>>72954286
personally find a sound that i am in the mood for and mix tried favorites in with new albums to try until a couple stick or i get bored and move to new sound. just listening to all new shit gets frustrating and can be counterproductive
>>72954286
B because I'm picky about what I like. I'm not going to listen to a decent album again if I can listen to a great one again.
>>72954500
You are the exception anon! You have the rare C type trait!
neither
i tag albums which i listened to less than a handful of times, so i don't forget to give them some attention. most get 3-5 listens before i untag them.
I try to listen to like two new albums a day. My backlog is huge because I only started getting into music about a year ago. If I like an album I will listen to it again a number of times.
>>72954286
>order an album online
>listen to it on digital until it arrives
>spin it a few times
>shelf it
>repeat
i do this when i discover new music and that doesn't happen much these days so i mostly just spin records i did the process with
>>72954393
this
>>72954434
fuck you you dont get to have your cake and eat it too
>>72954286
A when I wanted to look deep and esoteric to people by listening to a bunch of shit no one's heard of before because music elitism intimated me and I didn't want to look entry-level, but then B when I stopped giving a fuck and just went back to playing Powerslave and Toxicity over and over again
>>72954393
USED to A then i was B.
AND NOW I'M NOTHING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>72959527
Kek this is (You)
>>72954286
Neither. Who even does this?
>>72959590
This viral marketing is shitty
>>72954286
B lately but maybe in a month or so i'm going full A
>>72954286
B, I usually can't remember a single thing about an album on the first listen
Basically, I go through periods of one or the other.
You throw stuff at the wall, what sticks, sticks.
I feel bad for music reviewers like Fantano who have to digest so many albums in such a short time. I feel like that'd suck some of the enjoyment of music. Even guys like DEHH take on less albums/space out the reviews and publications like Pitchfork don't have one person listening to all the albums.
>>72954286
>D
>collect a shit ton of albums as a fashion statement and never get around to listen to them
Used to be me, still catching up with it to this day
>>72959590
>>Post Experimental
>>72954286
Basically A, but I do come back and listen to things if I liked them quite a bit or if I find reason to otherwise, I'll relisten. As long as I listen to 100 new albums a month, I'm cool to listen to whatever.
>>72954286
A for sure
>listening to music
>>72959590
The album cover is terrible. Also, this is clearly marketing. Please leave.
Also, the oh-so-edgy EVERYTHING is pretty embarrassing. Stop relying on gimmicks to sell your music and please go somewhere else.
>>72954286
B but trying to get less like that
>Less than 300 artists after a year and a half on last.fm
I used to love finding new sonic landscapes, but now that I've heard thousands of albums I just listen to the same Pink Floyd and Ween albums over and over.
When I'm drunk or high I will search for new music, If I enjoy it sober I keep it.
>>72954286
was B for the past 6 months or so. now i have internet again so, im A for now.
In the past i'll go A for a while and when i find enough new stuff i really like i'll go B with it for a while until i get bored again.
always B
never A

>tfw listening to In Rainbows right now
I feel you my mans
>>72959619
What was it?
each line is an album and then the height is days between listens. so the line being at the very top means I listened to it more than once in a day and then lower is 1 day and so on. I usually just sorta get into heavy consumption with an album for a short period of time before it sinks down into the mess of stuff I listen to once a month or less, though some stuff hangs in the 10-30 day range for a while.
>>72954286
Generally B but I do add something new to the rotation often enough
>>72954286
C I suppose. I open up a bunch of albums I've been meaning to listen to, or simply pick a few on a whim, and rotate between those until I get a set of concrete thoughts on how I feel about it. Pic related. When I know how I feel about it, I either upload it to youtube or put it in a sharethread, close that folder and open another.
B
I have a few albums I absolutely love and when I try to listen to new stuff I just keep thinking how I'd rather be listening to the stuff I normally listen to.
>listening to albums more than once
do you also eat your food again after you poop it out?
>>72963162
what the fuck does this mean reddit man
>>72954286
I was A, now I'm B and I'm stuck.
>>72963162
>>72954286
Used to be the second one, now I'm kinda inbetween cuz i have a whole playlist of bands I listen to on shuffle and not just a couple albums.
