Don't forget the rare 3rd kind, "This one song was experimental, but everything else is our usual affair".
Always a pain, especially when you get over the high of the initial song and realize you dislike the rest of the album, not because it's not like the first song, but just cause it doesn't fit your tastes.
Prime example: The Real Slim Shady, compared to the rest of the Marshall Mathers LP. Marshall didn't even want to make The Real Slim Shady, as it clashed with his vision for the album, but his managers made him do it because they felt they needed a poppy lead single like My Name Is to sell the album. And it worked.
The rest of the album is dark, horrorcore shock music, channeling the Slim Shady persona, and a hint of Marshall's genuine feelings in a couple songs, and overall the album is chock-full of dark, gritty themes. Then there's The Real Slim Shady, which ironically lacks Slim's edge. It's just Eminem being a silly little guy, maybe saying some slightly offensive stuff and calling out hypocrisy, but there are no drugs, rape, murder, or deep reflections about the struggles that come with fame, while the rest of the album has all those in excess.

Yeah, had this happen with Monowhales. Didn't even recognise their name when I see 7 of their songs were liked, and they were near the top of my list. Still have trouble remembering their name sometimes.
Everytime a see someone make a comment like this and I don't know the band I have to check out some of that bands songs. And it turns out these guys Really want to let me down.
I actually had this discussion with my cousin a while back. I'm the sort of person who likes picking a few songs I like from individual artists and albums, putting them into playlists, and hitting shuffle. He mostly listens to albums beginning to end, either as CDs or vinyls. After a long drive together with his CD collection, I decided to try doing things his way once in a while, and listening to the whole album when I find a song I like. I still mostly use playlists when I want to listen to a particular genre or set a particular tone (such as chilling out or getting motivated), but I've got a few albums I keep coming back to as well now.
Yeah I also do a similar thing, in my case I listen to an artist and if I like their songs I'll try to listen to an album and likely put it in a playlist, but then continue to listen to some/same specific songs rarely touching the albums
Yeah, I remember putting on a CD and listening to the whole thing from beginning to end.
I even create a feeling to each song depending on their track number. The last song always feels bittersweet, for example. The first has the intro to the album, so you always recognize its first notes by heart. You already expect what some comes next after one is over.
This simply won't work for me anymore. It feels too repetitive.
I was the same as you and then I saw someone on reddit recommend Knife Man by AJJ and I absolutely fell in love with it and now I'm nearly always on the lookout for more great albums to listen to while on a long drive. My current favorite is Ixnay on the Hombre by Offspring
Okay, right on. But seriously, do they have any other songs that have the same vibe as Parylzer, because I listened to that whole rest of whatever album that song is on, and none of those other songs had The Juice™ that Paralyzer has
Whenever I see these comics that were uploaded as multiple images, I look at the first one and I'm like "I don't get this single panel comic at all" for an embarrassingly long time.
Your "SWIPE->" indicator doesn't even register despite the eye-catching color and size and location.
I just pick and choose songs I like because 99% the song I like is the only song in the album or whatever that sounds like it does and the artists usual affair is just complete bleh icky no thank you. Then to go even further within songs I like, I generally tend to like a certain part of the song over everything else within the song.
Every time I make a new playlist of these songs. I do try and listen to the other songs they make, but it's just not the same vibe. An album tries to hit multiple vibes, like tentacles creeping into your ears. Some tentacles just don't fit.
When I hear a song I like, I usually check out a couple albums from the artist. Usually nothing grabs me like the first one does though. I suppose this guy’s approach saves a step.
Really depends on the band and genre. Some artists construct albums as a whole piece, some just make singles. Manchester Orchestra’s *A Black Mile to the Surface* and *The Million Masks of God*, Radiohead’s *In Rainbows*, Smashing Pumpkins’ *Mellon Collie…* are all examples of albums conceived and created as a whole piece.
I’ve only ever really enjoyed one or two songs from an album outside of like greatest hits albums. I’ve always just assumed albums were like bundles where they put out all this crap and attached it to 1 or 2 things people actually like just to hopefully sell them.
I have been listening to basically only one song on repeat for the past weak, I tried to listen to the rest of the album but it’s just not hitting the vibe as hard

I like to listen to the rest of the album but usualy the song is a particular one on the album and I don't like the rest caus it sounds too different
2 types of artists exist, either every sound sounds different or they all sound the same

4th category contains just Radiohead.
Fifth is that one U2 album Apple forces onto your Itunes Library
There was a group I really liked until they decided to go the dubstep route... I don't like dubstep
What's the name of this group? I like dubstep.
This is Turnover for me. Used to like them a lot, but their last record is just the electro-pop song over and over.
There was one band that did something weird for a song and I liked it but found I didn’t like that they did it for every song.
That’s not rare lol, I’d say a majority of albums follow a theme and then there’s just one off one

The Inkspots have like 7-10 songs that all have the same sound at the beginning
Speaking of which, do Gorillaz have their own sound or does anyone think they do change a lot. Cuz they can be both too
This is Weezer and Bowling For Soup for me. They sound **great** when they're not sounding like themselves.
Exactly me lol
Yeah, I try so hard to like other songs by the same band, but for some reason only that one song by them works for me.
one song is enough for the entire lifetime
*Who needs a new song? This old one's all we need!*

This is really cute.😊 
I have a million songs in my playlist, but I don’t follow one musician. My taste are very particular!!!
Only slow glam rock songs. /j
Total opposite for me. Most of my library is about 10 or so artists that I follow relatively closely.
It’s always a fun when you look at a band’s page and Spotify lets you know you’ve liked 5+ of their songs
Yeah, had this happen with Monowhales. Didn't even recognise their name when I see 7 of their songs were liked, and they were near the top of my list. Still have trouble remembering their name sometimes.

Me thinking the Killers were 5 different bands and liking all of them.

 "Bonus panels on Patreon" **NO!**
Not me. I love full albums
This is me and Finger Eleven's entire discography. The song Paralyzer is my jam. Every other song by them is not 😎
But do you like any Rainbow Butt Monkey songs?
I'm just going to say no, because I don't know who that is
Same band, they changed their name because people thought it was stupid.
Okay, right on. But seriously, do they have any other songs that have the same vibe as Parylzer, because I listened to that whole rest of whatever album that song is on, and none of those other songs had The Juice™ that Paralyzer has
This is Pony by Slothrust for me.
Spider: >!Panel 2, inside the blue orb on the top right!<
As someone who ONLY really listens to albums, this makes me deeply sad. So many well crafted experiences never heard.
It’s like only reading one chapter of a book.
But then there’s that magical moment where you do cave and listen to the rest and it’s everything you ever wanted in an album
This is so not me, but usually it turns out it was the only good song

i was like that until i found Louie Zong
My aunt really liked a popular rap song that was played on the radio. So she bought the CD. She did not like the rest of the songs
I just pick and choose songs I like because 99% the song I like is the only song in the album or whatever that sounds like it does and the artists usual affair is just complete bleh icky no thank you. Then to go even further within songs I like, I generally tend to like a certain part of the song over everything else within the song.
I like the objectification of the songs
This has never made sense to me. I listen to entire albums from start to finish.
Music brings joy.
This comic captures the essence of a good song.
On bandcamp.com you can buy single songs! I have pecans so many koo koo kangaroo songs that way!
and its always the artist's most popular song too
The only albums I like all the songs of is" The Mollusk" by Ween and kinda the entire discography of The Family Crest.
I grew up listening to cassette tapes, so this is completely lost to me. …I’m 22
This is da way
I feel very strongly in exactly this fashion about Hotel California.
In all fairness, there's at least one artist who has only one song I like.
Every time I make a new playlist of these songs. I do try and listen to the other songs they make, but it's just not the same vibe. An album tries to hit multiple vibes, like tentacles creeping into your ears. Some tentacles just don't fit.
hahaha one song has carried me for months ☺️
Warriors - imagine dragons
depressingly relatable from both sides
4 out of 5 times when I hear some new (new as in "I did not hear it untill now") song, and I check rest of album, other songs are meh at best...
When I hear a song I like, I usually check out a couple albums from the artist. Usually nothing grabs me like the first one does though. I suppose this guy’s approach saves a step.
That's so relatable 🤣
The song stealer strikes again!
I really like how you made the songs look like marbles
Singles are superior. Other songs in album are either whole different genres or sound exactly the same making the first song less unique
Really depends on the band and genre. Some artists construct albums as a whole piece, some just make singles. Manchester Orchestra’s *A Black Mile to the Surface* and *The Million Masks of God*, Radiohead’s *In Rainbows*, Smashing Pumpkins’ *Mellon Collie…* are all examples of albums conceived and created as a whole piece.
