On some days listening to a whole album start to finish just hits different
That’s what I do most of the time. I have never even created a playlist for myself, I like the the coherent style of an album more.
Same, my girlfriend doesn’t get it as she’s the “all your songs on shuffle” kind of person
Yeah it’s albums like Neverbloom by Make them Suffer, which have songs that are great on their own, but are even better as one whole artpiece together.
Is legit.
But, you kinda have to do one playthrough like that. You can have the playlist perfect in theory, but until you listen to it all the way through, you can’t know that you got things the way you really want them. Quick skipping through is the best way to do that with the ability to keep track of what your impressions of the playlist are, rather than just vibing to single songs and missing the overall flow.
It’s absurd absurd how much thought I’ve put into playlist creation and management lol.
I prefer to create dozens of playlists with between one and three songs. Trust me, there is a ton of overlap too.
