I love Marillion's Clutching at Straws, but I *have* to hear it start to finish to really enjoy it. I really hate stopping midway, mostly because it's such a cohesive work. It's like a film, really.
Do you feel that way about an album? Which and why?

Why? I love everything about it...It just tells so much without saying that much.. It also is the only album that gives me so much pleasure, I usually listen to no more than 50% of an album at a time... |

| | | | Most Steve Reich stuff I listen to from start to finish if I can help it(I have every steve reich recording ever). Additionally, the rite of spring I always listen to all the way through. Lately, I discovered this new guy, Dwele, he's a neo-soul crooner type, but his albums are magnificently crafted into cohesive storylines(self produced mostly), and I have been listening to them all the way through everytime I sit down with 'em.

Supertramp, Crime of the Century - still holds it's own as one of the best recorded rock albums ever.
Dark Side of the Moon. nuff' said.
Santana, Moonflower - a couple weaker cuts, but the live cuts are (in my mind) probably the best stuff that Carlos ever recorded. Europa will send shivers up my spine - STILL.

| | | 'Operation: Mindcrime', anyone? Played straight through, that album is pretty much perfect. There are no flaws on that album, but it has to be played from start to finish.

You gotta listen to it all the way to get the full experience of the album...I can't explain it, but very songs on the record hold their own by listening to it by itself, but somehow when I listen to it all the way through, it seems like one gigantic masterpiece. Shame most of you will probably never hear it.

Each song kind of flows into the next so perfectly that I hate to stop listening after just a song or 2. I have to hear John and Mary every time, it's such a perfect ending to a perfect album. |

I think Crisis is so ahead of it's time, and maybe a glimpse into the artist tortured soul.
