do people prefer albums where all the songs are the same, or all different
Show threadjosefJul 11, 2018

'cause i feel like these days, even if people refuse to admit it, most people just want an album to be a consistent 'bed' of music that they can put on, and even if it's not background music, they still want a pretty singular experience, like "oh yes you should listen to this good album because it's solid hype/chillout/moody jam, you can Depend on it"

whereas i dont think that many people go around like "i recommend it, its a solid Uh Collection Of Uh Different Uh Things By The Same Artist,"

also i think... making an album be some kind of engineered cohesive experience with careful track sequencing and gradual changes in mood... well, hopefully people will respect your album if it's like that. and they'll maybe even sit down and listen to the whole thing in one go, give it the time it needs. but then i worry that after that, they won't come back to it, they won't come back to individual tracks they liked, they'll just treat it like a movie they've seen or a game they've Completed
