whenever i’m the mood, i load up pink floyd’s the wall on spotify and i always think it’s really cool that the song-popularity-meter on the righthand side (on desktop spotify) is pretty equal across every track. like, that tells me a majority of the people who listened to music from this album listened to the entire thing, probably in a linear fashion from beginning to end, and idk why but i find that really sweet

#are manchildren going to continue misinterpreting the messages in the songs from this album? unfortunately yes #but does it make it any less solid as a classic and a touchstone of the time in which it was made? not at all #pretentious music fans will always claim that you HAVE to listen to this album in its entirety to Get It but #tbh i usually just listen to my favorite 5 in a row and call it a day #it's only on days off when i'm cleaning that i'd be able to listen to the full thing in one sitting #like this is probably one of the few albums beginner music historians and vinylheads get attached to #that is if they're into this genre. and pink floyd's sound #it's just really human. i feel very human when i see that listening pattern #going to be loading up the jimi hendrix after this #i've got a commission to finish #music #suit.txt
