Do ya'll like albums more when you hear less singles and/or avoid snippets?

[TheDarceKnight]

What say you guys?

 

[old boy]

i'll say yes, i try to avoid them especially them damn snippets which make no sense

i eventually broke down and listened to drake's shyt because i couldnt help myself. aint no tellin with him anyway because they might not even make the album

i like the element of surprise on an album so a few lead singles yes but leaks, no. thats what kinda killed MBDTF for me, i had heard basically the whole album already lol

yeah..when Kanye was dropping all those songs leading up to Dark Fantasy, it made me start skipping singles and snippets altogether...i dont wanna hear shyt until the album.

That's the album that made me think about this. Those GOOD Friday's were great, and I know they tweaked a few songs, but we heard, what, at least half the album ahead of time?

Power
Runaway
Devil In a New Dress
Monster
So Appalled
All of the Lights

At least those...maybe more?

And then if you watched the short film on MTV/BET then you heard everything else too.

 

[Deltron]

Yeah. I try to avoid singles/snippets, and judge the full product.

I do the same shyt w/ movies, and to a lesser extent games.

come to think of it, is there a great album that came out that was first advertised with snippets?
