It's funny-- some bands have albums that I don't like at all (Metallica-- Load and Reload), while some bands only have one good album (Limp Bizkit- 3 Dollar Bill, Y'all). Some bands have all good albums amongst which I actually couldn't pick a favorite (Smashing Pumpkins, System of a Down, Beatles, Sepultura, Primus, Foo Fighters), while others have been making records for years after I've stopped buying them, even though I'm sure they're good and I don't quite know why I've lost touch with them (Starflyer 59, King's X, Tom Waits). Lots of bands have that one album that just surpasses everything else that they've ever done or will ever do (OK Computer, Zeppelin IV, Countdown To Extinction, The Downward Spiral), while others haveonly hit me, although good n' hard, with their greatest hits collections (Tom Petty, Green Day, David Bowie, Faith No More, Bjork).I've always considered myself an album-oriented listener.

    holyfool says I've always enjoyed listening to albums rather than just singles. Albums seem to always tell a story, even if that wasn't the artist's intention. But if you listen closely, there's always some connective thread through most albums. It's like taking a peek into someone's diary...

    Jess Horrible says Human Behavior's a great song. What else is on the greatest hits collection? Bjork's not an easy one to get into... but I'm glad you got into that album. I'm more into individual songs, but I have to agree, there are some albums that are so well-balanced and well-constructed that they are better as a whole than in pieces.
