lately ive been listening to a lot of new albums, mostly from artists I haven't heard before. if i enjoy at least some aspects of it or otherwise like the artist, ill keep it around to relisten to. i typically try and give albums at least 2 listens but sometimes ill delete them after 1 if its not doing anything for me. you need time for albums to grow on you but i feel like after one listen i can tell whether or not the albums interesting enough to keep around

If it's from an artist I keep up with, I'll usually listen at least 3 times. If it's an album that I haven't heard but other people swear by, I'll give it a few tries. Honestly though if it's a brand new album by an artist I don't care about you kinda gotta hook me on the first listen.

Hell nah, I don’t have time for that

I don't really delete albums unless I really really don't listen to it

this guy listening to albums

I’ve never deleted an album. If I liked it once it sure I’ll enjoy it again at some point

depends, sometimes you just know

Yeah some albums take a album

Even years
I’ll revisit an album after a year or two and be like wow this is so f***ing good

It depends

If I really am a big fan of the artist definitely

Or if it interested me for some reason

Im honestly more likely to revisit an album I thought was trash than an album I thought was decent

But I’ve definitely had albums I didnt like grow on me in a major way and even become all time favorites

Nope

If it's an album from someone im not too familiar with, I try to give the album at least 2 chances unless its awful.

From an artist I really fw, I'll give a couple chances at different times before I give up.

Yes, and I play the tracklist backwards the second time to account for listening fatigue

I listen to my library on shuffle often and albums like this really help

The only time I delete albums is when I need space

In our country you can rent an album and give it back

100%

nvm i rebuke this thread. always listen to an album more than once. i was listening to two star and the dream police and remembered how underwhelming it was for me on first listen but now its probably top 3 album for me this decade

I do it for songs only

no

I try to but there's a lot of albums so sometimes I forget to try it again. I know my opinion doesn't mean s***e if I only heard it once in the background and it didn't grab me
