When's the last time you really listened to an album?

Graeme Thomson:

Does anyone still do this when they get a new release: sit down and physically play it over and over again while giving it their sole, undivided attention?

This article is ridiculous, and not only because it’s based on the flawed assumption that albums are necessarily better than singles. I prefer whole albums to singles, but just because I do or Graeme Thomson does, doesn’t mean you have to.

When it comes to music, these things are always true (no matter how many people try to tell you otherwise): the album isn’t dead; there’s nothing wrong with singles; you should listen to whatever music speaks to you; and you can listen to it however you want.
