totally agree. sometimes I don’t really get an album on first listen but by the second or third time I really enjoy it! it’s how some albums became my favourites!
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.
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.
Even if you’re miserable, you’ll find out that forcing yourself to hang out with friends will help more than you can imagine. If they ask you to hang out, say yes, and by the end of the hangout you’ll realize how good of an idea it was.
