We are living in the age of information overload and this applies to music too. There is too much music out there to consume. So within your favorite genre, let's say you regularly purchase or download the music you want to listen. How do you listen and digest your music? Do you give it the attention it needs? It has happened a few times that I would listen to an album and not like it in the first listen, but after repeated listens the music would grow on me. But in this age of too much music, there is a risk of not giving an album ample listening time to appreciate and digest the music, in different ways, through a loud system and headphones. A good strategy would be to just stop collecting too much new music and give the albums you already have more attention, time and dedicated listening sessions. I feel multitasking also affects the way we listen to music. I'd rather be selective and give the music proper attention. Not only would this increase the shelf life of the art in question, but also curb the anxiety associated with having to listen to loads of new music in an effort to consume everything out there. What are your thoughts?
