Quite often I get distracted or hungry or something and decide to listen to something else mid-album though.

Oh hell yeah.

i would only use shuffle as a joke if i felt like being mean to myself. i always listen to albums all the way through and it's with pretty much every band. exceptions are those instances where i only like the occasional song, and then i'm grateful for the digital age and only have to have those few. it's rare though.

When I am in the mood for an album or two - on CD or non-physical format - I usually listen to them in their integrality although there are the few odd exceptions with certain albums where I have the habit to skip a song or two. Like a reflex.

Yep. I get to sneak a lot of music time in at work, so I do all the studying of new records and past favorites there.

If I don't like all the songs on an album, I'll make a playlist where only the good ones are present. I tend to make playlists in the same style so I'm basically creating a super album, 'cause I'm ace like that.

I pretty much only listen to whole albums when I listen to music.

I've spent a great deal of time listening to albums. Seems to me complete albums started with Sargent Pepper, Abby Road, stuff like that....more titles that worked for me all the way through would be; Ziggy Stardust, Alladin Sane, The Eagles, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Hear, Led Zepplin, Sticky Fingers, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Blackoak Arkansas, Kansas,.....hell, now that I'm thinking about, there's a bunch, no use to even try to list them all.

I'm a devout full-album-listener. I love being able to sit down, thrown on some headphones and listen to an album from start to finish, it's the most enjoyable way to listen to music.
