for example, the first album/record i absolutely loved and listened to constantly start to finish was scritti politti's 'cupid and psyche '85' when i was probably six or seven. when i was 13, i was obsessed, start to finish, with ace of base's 'the sign.' yeah, i know.
but the first headphone-obsessed album i was totally absorbed with was janet jackson's 'rhythm nation 1814.' i listened to it end-to-end relentlessly. every track felt weak if it wasnt part of the whole.
and, believe it or not, it led me to other headphone-preferred, package deal stuff like 'the downward spiral.'
make sense and worth it or should i go back to bed?
