do people really listen to albums in order to be putting effort into redoing track sequences? (I'll give you the first 2-3 listens), but I always have my shyt on shuffle, I hate listening to an album and knowing what's next

It's a good song, just messes up the vibe. I placed it differently in my playlist and it sounds fine. Just hurts putting it right after Hoover Street
Ditto. The song was my first pullback of the album and started getting skipped. With my new listing i swear everything just flowas perfectly.

:dwillhuh: You are a very interesting character.

I'm the exact opposite. I like listening to albums and knowing exactly what comes next. Most of my favourite albums I can recite front to back for that reason, my mind already starts crossfading into the next song before it begins.

I gave it a serious listen when i did this and played around with it while studying. During this serious listen I was that much more impressed with the albums' songs and musicianship.:yes:

:yeshrug:

There's an art to sequencing an album that I respect. I respect the pacing of good sequencing, how one song can lead into another, etc. Sometimes, the track order can completely change the meaning of a song - the sequencing of "Same Song And Dance" and "We Made You" on Eminem's Relapse album literally transforms the context of We Made You altogether :wow:

I only like shuffle when I'm playing several albums at a time. For example, if I were to make a TDE playlist of Control System, GKMC, Oxymoron and Cilvia Demo, and to have shuffle for all of those? That'd be dope, because I'm getting different voices completely. But I hate the idea of just shuffling songs on one album.

I'm the same way. It's the main reason I don't really listen to singles anymore. For one I dont wanna spoil or play out much of the album. #2, I only listen to full albums and mixtapes. It's rare that I download one song / play an assortment of random artists unless it's on some beast mode Gym playlist shyt with some G-Unit, LOX, Dipset, Freddie Gibbs, Meek Mill etc etc

i feel yall, i used to be like that, but i don't know, i guess i get bored listening to an album in the same order over and over. once i give the first few listens to see how it flows, i rarely listen to it in order again...plus there are so few albums where i listen to every song, shuffle doesn't disrupt that for me
