It's a lost art. You can always tell when an album is just a collection of songs (which is encouraged by streaming) when albums should feel like books and songs should feel like chapters. They're best in context!

yo 100%. especially older records, i like that albums pre 8-track could only be a certain length it's good for my fucked attention span lol. I've been listening to the marvin gaye classic albums from the 70's and the lauryn hill record a lot and they hit harder on a straight listen for sure

listening to albums in full

albums are creative experiences that were carefully crafted by artists with their own experiences, values, interests, etc. in mind. i believe that those who don't listen to albums are missing out on a critical part of the musical experience. i really love to see how artists transition from song to song and listen to their music in the way it was intended to be listened to. my favorite album at the moment is speaking in tongues by talking heads.

Listening to full albums

Just sit down and listen to an album from start to finish, the way it was meant to be heard. I love a good playlist as much as the next guy, but the joy of listening to a full album as intended by the artist/band is amazing.

listening to whole albums

This is how music was meant to be listened to. I miss life before Spotify with my iPod that had my fav artist‘s discographies categorized by album all waiting to be consumed as a whole piece of art. Our attention spans are getting so bad—an album requires time and patience and allows for a deeper satisfaction.
Try listening to one whole album a week! It’s great.
