and human attention spans are dwindling faster than the Amazon rainforest.
“listen to 4 whole minutes of nothing but music? no thanks Boomer.”
I listen to a lot of atmospheric black metal and the intro and outtro tracks are mandatory for setting the mood, so I end up listening to a lot of albums straight down the list.
I also tend to hang out during movie credits and yammer with my friends about what I liked, or shout out a name if I think they did something great. “Principle photography was on point, thanks Steve Gonzalez,” as the names tumble on.

This is also my preference. Most new albums suck shit because they’re just a randomized list of tracks designed for Spotify single-song playback.
Nobody puts the effort into making albums cohesive like they used to. Goddamned iTunes destroyed the album format.
