Okay, so this is a rough approximation, but let’s say I listen to a whole album all the way through more or less once a week. Through that listen I’ll like the songs that I enjoyed (sometimes even if I just thought it was interesting and I’m not sure how to feel yet, some of my favorite songs had to grow on me). For pretty much the whole rest of the week, during commutes or whenever I don’t feel like giving the music the attention that I think a full album listen deserves, I’ll just listen to my shuffled liked songs. Yes, I’ll go back and listen to some of my favorite albums, but mostly just for those bands where the album experience is more than the sum of it’s songs.
