Yep, I do this alllllllll the time

You could look into getting a subpac at home! Not in the car though, and you shouldn't wear earplugs in your car either for safety reasons.

ADHD is a very real and can be quite debilitating. People with the condition do fixate on things and self stimulate. It’s definitely over-diagnosed - still a real thing.

Sure 😊

hi op may i have permission to crosspost this? i can mention you if you want

Lol I would never medicate it, I'm pretty sure it is my super power working in IT. Hyperfixation coupled with a laziness that makes automation essential to actually get work done I'm left with doing work about 20% of the day and being paralysed about upcoming projects the rest of the time

This reads like a North Korean history book.

Try some earphones! Some good ones are the skullcandy dimes, they’re pretty cheap and they sound nice too. Also headphones usually always do it for me. And mess around with ur eq as well sometimes when I’m listening to specific songs it could be unbalanced since like some songs have different bass and all that

No it's not.

Exclusively??? It's 'exceedingly common' to really like an album and listen to that a heck of a lot in a short period of time. But to 'almost exclusively' listen to it for 2 months is absolutely ridiculous.

People here clearly don't know what exclusively means...

Sit on the subwoofer?

A class d monoblock and 18 inch subs don't need to be at high volumes

Yup.

Yeah it seems like it would be hard to match the real thing. Is it more the highs that bug your ears or is it mids and lows also?

Rumor and Tango in the night by Fleetwood Mac and All things must pass by George Harrison

Appetite For Destruction - Guns N' Roses

Dark Side of the Moon - Pink Floyd

The Last Good Party - Gay Paris

Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow - Rainbow

Rainbow Rising - Rainbow

Holy Diver - Dio

What I do almost every day is pick an artist and start listening to their entire discography in chronological order.

This is a special kind of self torture since there's not a streaming service that gives a rat dick about release years. Albums are sorted alphabetically, I have to keep a Wikipedia tab open to track the listen order

Seriously, am i the only person that cares about album years?

Yeah thats one thing i really need to look into, are the good earplugs actually comortable? my only experience is crappy cheap ones that kill ur ears lol

Yea, wear ear plugs. Good plugs will reduce the volume by ~20dB so you can still crank the bass without going deaf.

Audiophile plugs are designed to reduce SPL with minimal impact on tone, so you can get a good listening experience without going deaf (i bring my pair to concerts all the time, I love them).

I've been doing this for years. 22 - 23 years, to be exact. Most recently, it's been with The Amity Affliction's 'Misery' and Ozzy Osbourne's 'Patient Number 9'. Before that, it was Nightwish's 'Human|Nature'.
It's just how I've always listened to music. I'll listen to a apecific album until I know it like the back of my hand. Then move to the next one. I eventually go back and realise what a good album most of them are, and wonder why the hell it's been so long lol

Absolutely. You are not alone. I get obsessed with an artist sometimes and want to hear their whole catalog. But I also mix in other stuff, like a 75/25 ratio to keep from burning out on them. I generally listen to entire albums at once.

Ill have to look into that, unsure on if that would feel "real" tho and actually match the tones and notes. Thank you for the idea tho

I am pretty sure they make something that goes under your vehicles seat that simulates bass using vibration or something like it

Blind Guardian... legends.
