i don’t do albums. as a kid, we basically only had recorded-from-radio cassettes. when we got a CD player in like 1999, we mostly bought those “now that’s what i call music” collections. i didn’t really listen to music myself at all until like 18-19. i didn’t see the point. as a result i basically can’t sit through an entire album of the same genre.
You will never hear a recorded song more clearly than vinyl. A good record player patched into a big 1970s cabinet console. The sound is only beat by live music.
Have you considered that maybe you don’t like music?
going from “i don’t listen to albums” to “maybe you don’t like music” is incredibly strange. i listen to tons of music which i love. i just don’t do albums. I buy loads of songs on bandcamp and have multiple constantly growing playlists hundreds of tracks long.

that’s just demonstrably not true. maybe on a perfectly calibrated player in a completely dust-free lab environment with no air movement on a never-played vinyl that was just pressed and has never been moved. as soon as one of those conditions fail to hold the sound is distorted. from an acoustic perspective, live music also tends to have really weird sound and it’s usually muddied by the environment.

is this weird?
If you ever get into vinyl, you will appreciate the album format a lot more.
we had a lot of vinyl when i was a child. i listened to that one ELO track a lot. i have no real nostalgia for the sound.

You like songs. You don’t like music.
It’s what the part in that one song means when he’s singing
what a weird thing to say. please explain.
Sad, maybe
