do people prefer albums where all the songs are the same, or all different

'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,"

@jk iiiiii mean,.... most of the things i think of as, like, "an album" are honestly, like, "one long flow of a thing," ya know?

so, like, they might cover a lot of ground and range, but... in a way... that feels, idk, coherent?

as opposed to, like, just being "well, it's a bunch of singles that happen to have come out at the same time?"

idk.

@jk like, anything that i'd be like "oh, yeah, put on <whatever> album" i'd probably feel weird about putting them on on shuffle?

not that a lot of singles is ~bad~, just it's not,... idk,.... album.... like?
but i'm probably not target audiance.

@jk ( iiiii also tend to do the "well this is the album i'm listening to this week" *puts album on on repeat for literally a week* sorta thing, so..... 🤷-intensifies )
