It’s especially good when the album synches up really well with something else thematically similar that’s going on in your life. I started listening to the album “Coral Throne” by Mandroid Echostar at the same time I started playing Dark Souls, and they both complemented each other really well because of the medieval themes. I started listening to “Passion of Heist II” by I Am Abomination and the same thing happened, as the themes are basically about moral-less gods wrecking our world.

Back when we bought actual, physical media (records, tapes, CDs) I listened to entire albums from beginning to end, repeatedly until I knew every song. All the lyrics, all of the music and I also read the liner notes and credits over and over. I quite literally wore out all of the first several albums I ever owned from repeated listening.

It’s a bit tougher now to get all of the information with streaming services, but Wikipedia helps. I’m currently working through Toto’s catalog, I really forgot how good they are and how many really good songs they wrote besides their big hits. Before them, I spent about two months listening to a couple of older Santana albums. Next up, who knows?

I don't do that lmao. I just listen to an album mostly once (if it's really up to my taste, I played 3 times for max), then I choose some tracks from that album in a playlist, but only play 1-4 tracks on loop. Ex: I listened to Emotion album (both standard and side b) by Carly Rae Jepsen twice, then choose some tracks for my walking playlist, but I mostly play "Emotion" track on loop.

Not regular, but when I was able to manage focusing on my studies I could easily loop something 3-4 times a day minimum. There was one album which lasted precisely a pomodoro cycle of 1h and I even used it to have a rhythm. My average then was probably like 6-8 times a day and there's when I probably peaked at 10.

Then fast forward on year and I got diagnosed mild ADHD lol

This becomes apparent with our annual Spotify stats, my (non ADHD) friends would always have way more artists discovered but I would have those same artists that they shared with me but like...listened to their entire discography and enough that they make my top 5

It is a good feeling because once the fatigue sets in from binging them, I discover another artist and binge on them instead. Helps to appreciate the lesser-known songs that are overshadowed by the overplayed hits.
