Maybe its just me but i dont download albums if i plan to buy them. I dont listen to leaked songs either.
I find the complaints people have of albums funny, talking about they played out songs already and now have to skip them or half the songs are old. I just wait, buy the album, listen to it front to back no skipping and absorb what the artist did. Its the best way to listen to music.
The only people ruining music are the fans. If you treat music as disposable then thats what its going to be to you. Music is better then ever but people just dont appreciate shyt anymore.
I love going to the record store, i love the artists that put effort into the physical product. shyt i still buying random albums just for fun that ive never heard of.
