Members Fender&EHX4ever Posted December 17, 2014 Members Share Posted December 17, 2014 I still purchase vinyl on occasion, which for me is a full-album experience. So anything I purchased on vinyl this year was heard from start to finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Stubacca Posted December 17, 2014 Members Share Posted December 17, 2014 Listened to the Wild Feathers this morning on good ol' iTunes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members iodine74 Posted December 17, 2014 Members Share Posted December 17, 2014 Rearrange Us from Mates of State on my computer... can't remember if it was local iTunes or Spotify. Before that... full album? Probably Further/Deeper, which is The Church's new album, from the Rolling Stone article stream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil O'Keefe Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 DSOTM. I listened to it about a week or two ago on Spotify Premium. [video=youtube;rvawJ-_sCUg] While I appreciate the format a great deal, albums are largely a thing of the past folks. Yes, some old dudes like me still remember when they dominated and still listen to them, but we're far from the majority of music consumers. For the sake of your own careers, I'd recommend focusing on writing and releasing the most compelling, catchiest and engaging singles you can come up with.

[video=youtube;rvawJ-_sCUg] A true benchmark among album experiences. In my iTunes I un-separated the tracks into just Side A and Side B. It always feels so wrong for me to listen to any of those songs in isolation While I appreciate the format a great deal' date=' albums are largely a thing of the past folks.

[/quote'] I like to believe that in my lifetime I will witness a backlash in consumer tastes for the convenient and expedient thrill. It may be overly optimistic, but stranger trends have happened in popular culture. "We used to wait for it. Now we're screaming sing the chorus again."

Phil O'Keefe Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 To me, the album as a artistic medium was a big part of what transformed recorded music from pop art to serious artistic works. While I appreciate the succinctness of a three or four minute single, it's hard to say as much in that amount of time. A great song can say a lot in three minutes, but not as much as a great artist can say in 30-45 minutes. Then again, not all that many artists can hold the listener's attention for 30-45 minutes, much less for the longer running times we saw in the CD era. And of course, there are more things (cable TV, internet, mobile devices, games, computers, etc.) competing for our free time today, and attention spans are generally shorter than they were in the height of the album era, which also makes it harder for the format to thrive today, but I do still think it has merit from an artistic standpoint and hope that your prediction turns out to be accurate.

Members Trick Fall Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 Just got a record player after not having one for about twenty years so I bought a bunch of used vinyl and the best thing so far and the last thing I listened to is Donovan's Hurdy Gurdy Man. I really never knew his album tracks and am really impressed by this record. It's much better than I expected. In the car on mp3 the last thing I listened to was Badly Drawn Boy's Hour of the Bewilderbeast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members WRGKMC Posted December 18, 2014 Members Share Posted December 18, 2014 I mostly listen to my own albums when I get the time. I'm not on the road full time like I used to be and could listen to albums over and over Like I used to. I Did have some time a week ago and listened to three CD's while working on a project in the studio the other day. The Tubes Remote Control is probably one of their best composed and produced albums during that bands lifespan. I believe Todd Rundgren Produced that one and you can tell. The songs on it fit together as a theme well and many flow from one to the next very well. The second was Joe Walsh So What. I love that album. Its got songs on it that capture the peak of his solo career before he joined the Eagles and has some fine guitar and keyboard work. Some were performed on his live album too, but I do like his studio album best. From a music writing aspect he fits the parts together very well. Its probably got two songs I don't like a whole lot but that's just his way of making the serous numbers stand out by contrast. The guitar tones and use of effects are killer on that album. I also pulled out and old Edgar Winter Roadwork album and listed to the double album CD all the way through. Derringer smokes the guitar on that album and it never fails to energize me when I hear it. Its got so much live pump on it, you don't get from any live albums any more. The full horn backup makes the band sound huge and the bass player is no slouch either, He's right there with the drummer all the way through. I cut my teeth on guitar playing to that album and can play most of the guitar parts note for note, Its got the long version of tobacco road where Edgar really shows off his vocals and Keyboard skills and is loaded with snappy tunes layered with that big Motown band Gospel Blues type others bands like Springsteen and Southside Johnny copied later.

Members WWW Posted December 19, 2014 Members Share Posted December 19, 2014 I don't know if this counts as it's not studio, but yesterday in my wife's car... Format is lame, but that's all we had back then aside from DAT which was $$$. Plus I was there! The setlist is significant to me because I was on post-bootcamp leave after joining the Marines and they played the Star Spangled Banner. Also The Man Who Stepped Into Yesterday is quite a good story-song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
