      Yea I remember when people would just stand around the headphone booths in music stores and sample whatever new CDs came out that week. Maybe it was worse in the cassette tape era?

      The headphones were gross. And to be honest, most albums only have a couple good songs anyway.

        It was always like that, wasnt it? Albums would have that one headline track that everyone wanted and then 7 bullshit tracks and one or two tracks that kinda sounded like the good track, as if they were the discarded parts that they decided to cut and stitch into a song to fill up the cd.

      I remembered I had a friend who couldn’t have any albums with swearing and I’d read the lyrics insert for him to check for swearing while he listed to a few tracks
