Today, I just noticed that I’ve been listening to whole albums start to end instead of either my playlists, or generated by Spotify.
Edit: and just in time, one of my favorite youtuber dropped this video about listening to whole albums https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4cJmPkL9a0
I couldn’t find a good mp3 rip of the album that I can give you, and I don’t have a cd/DVD drive at the moment, so instead here’s an unsolicited recommendation for you to “acquire”
Dream Theater - Metropolis Pt. II: Scenes from a Memory
Great album, the tracks flow together and are meant to be listened to in order, it tells a story, and the album is quite diverse. Also, best album opener in history of albums and possibly history itself.
And if it is to your liking, the “Live Scenes from New York” version is amazing.
Thanks for the recommendation. Although I don’t normally listen to prog rock, I listened to the whole album. I was surprised how much I liked it. Some snippets of the album reminded me of the non-orchestral tracks from the soundtrack of Operation Flashpoint, and I really enjoyed the beginning of Home. I’ll definitely try to acquire the album from somewhere.
My unsolicited recommendation is Ninajirachi’s I Love My Computer. It’s probably my favourite album of 2025.
Will check it out. I’ll prefer to do that in my car during long drives for proper sound and immersion, otherwise my experience will constantly be interrupted by the fact that I Cosplay as a responsible adult in a household of six. So next week probably.
DT - M2SFaM is one of their more accessible albums, and it’s how many get into the band in general, as it has something for “everyone”. I saw them play the entire album start to finish live, and it was amazing.
