depends how many bandcamp release notifications I get. The most I've got in one day is about 22.
A slower day will look like this.
5 bandcamp notifications, of which:
-1 is for a pre-order and the cunt hasn't even allowed a single track to be previewed. trash.
-1 is for a pre-order with 2 preview tracks.
-1 is for a single or an EP
-1 is for an LP or EP
-1 is a notification of purchases made by other bandcamp fans I follow. usually check out between 3-6 of their purchases.

so maybe 4-9 a day?

dumb question

well today i already heard 4 albums so far and 5 because i'm hearing the new Slipknot album

>listening to music

back in 2015 i'd maybe listen to a new album every day at least, 3 at most. I've slowed right down now though, I've got a steady footing in all the genres and artist networks I'm interested in and have a huge backlog of albums in these areas so I'm happy listening to the many albums I love for now and gradually introducing more depending on my mood.
If you keep listening to new albums you don't appreciate what is good about them, you can't fully understand an album after one listen.

dumb how?
options are 1. shitposting, in which case you can die in a gutter for all i care 2. "discussion" of music that you already know, as if theres anything to discuss 3. "discussion" of new music, as if its not going to drown in shitposts and 4. finding new music, literally the only thing you can do that makes sense
and you cross out 4.

amirite? everyone knows you should be able to audiate manuscript in your mind's ear like Beethoven, and feel the vibration of your percussion like Evelyn Glennie.
functional eardrums are for pussies.

Why are you mad? And yes it's shitposting

because i anticipated the answer to be "shitposting"

dilate

Varies very wildly. This week has been one of severe emotional distress, so I've found about 2 new albums per day. On a good week, it's around 8 to 10.

If I get into exploring a new genre it's usually 3 per day, though most weeks I'll only do 1 new album for the whole week

>3-5 for me
That's 2-4 hours of music

You're telling me you listen to new albums passively? Get a load of this normalfaggot

Good music is meant to be listened to ACTIVELY. Laying down, with closed eyes

constructive shitposting

>he brain too smol to multitask and actively listen to music simultaneously
get a load of this troglodyte HA

my technique involves queueing up dozens of albums I need to check out, then scrolling through 2 or 3 tracks on each listening to 5-10 second clips from each, and I find this perfectly adequate for determining which albums I know for sure I won't like, discard them, and the ones that sound as though there might be a slim chance of liking I'll listen to for longer, but a minute each from 3 tracks is still enough for me to judge an album by.
I've gone through hundreds of albums in a single day just by rinsing and repeating this process.
I'm not going to sit through all 40 minutes of an album that doesn't show the slightest shred of promise, and normally 95% of them don't.

damn son 95%? like, i try to stick to genres that i somewhat enjoy, and the amount of albums i would discard after 30 seconds is maybe 0.1%. i think youre being harsh

I follow hundreds of artists and labels on bandcamp. 427. plus 28 other fans. a lot of the artists are edge cases, I follow a fair few bandcamp pages after checking their stuff out and thinking "not quite good enough to buy and download, but there's some promise if they improve".
and then they don't.
as for labels, one of two things happens:
1) either the stylistic spread of artists and genres they release is broad, and I get notifs for releases substantially different from the ones I initially bought from them.
2) or the stylistic spread is narrow, in which case i become a LOT more selective in deciding which albums are good enough representatives of their genre to warrant buying.

i listen to a lot of ambient, dark ambient and drone. a lot of it can sound very homogeneous, so a lot gets trashed.

oh okay, yeah that makes sense, these genres especially can be hit or miss but i suppose its also the fact that you discover albums through labels.

>listening to full albums
well, i don't bother doing that most of the time because the album format is rockist and mostly a device to push celebrity narratives rather than innovative musical content

well, depends on what youre listening to
a lot of underground or experimental music is so slow paced or slow burning that it kind of defeats the purpose of listening to it in the first place if you dont hear the full album
for albums that are "collections" of songs, yeah, i suppose that would be true

idk. am I suppose to count?

yeah i appreciate some ambient and slower paced music but for the most part avoid it. imo, bands like the dead c have many songs that work outside of the album context. i understand the flow becomes more important if you're switching between rhythm/ambience but making your own playlists can be rewarding in the same way

oh for sure, i love my playlists and i see nothing wrong in picking out tracks you like even from albums that rely on a full image, but id say its always worth it, no matter what to hear the album in full if its your first time hearing it

>because the album format is rockis
what the FUCK does "rockist" mean?
why is this one faggot forcing this term?

No. OP is just a faggot.

you're a rude cunt and can suck on my balls
