Hard to tell. I would think 20+ times.

i think i've hit the proverbial wall and am nearing album fatigue. i need to put this away for a bit. otherwise i'll hit the point where i'm dead sick of it and then really won't be able to enjoy it for awhile.

Time to walk away for a bit. Once I hit that wall it makes the eventual revisit way more rewarding.Chris_H_2 wrote:i think i've hit the proverbial wall and am nearing album fatigue. i need to put this away for a bit. otherwise i'll hit the point where i'm dead sick of it and then really won't be able to enjoy it for awhile.

A good bit, but I’ve slowed down over the weekend. A lot of good music came out on Friday to give me a break and not wear it out.

yeah, I'm also at the point where I want to give this a short break, then see how enjoyable the revisit is

I've definitely slowed down. Haven't listened to it today and probably won't.

Listened to it a bunch when it leaked. Just got my CD in the mail yesterday. I'll rip it to have it available, but I have slowed down a bit and listened to stuff I haven't in years.

I've taken a 48 hour break, for the reasons you mention. But listened all the way through at least 10 times and some songs I've probably listened to some 25+ times since 3/20, which seems like years ago.Chris_H_2 wrote:i think i've hit the proverbial wall and am nearing album fatigue. i need to put this away for a bit. otherwise i'll hit the point where i'm dead sick of it and then really won't be able to enjoy it for awhile.
Got the cd today though, so break-time over!

All the way through? Probably like once or twice.
Not gonna lie, my method to listening to the record is usually:
Start with Who Ever Said then skip to Quick Escape and listen through Comes Then Goes. After that, I'm done.
Nothing against DotC but I've heard it a billion times already. SBWM works a lot better in context of the record, but still not a must-listen for me.

but don't think that you may have a better appreciation for the "skip" songs whilst listening to them within the contest of the entire album?RAG319 wrote:All the way through? Probably like once or twice.

See, this is why I waited until the album dropped before I listened to DotC or SBWM, because I knew I would over-listen and it would damage the initial album listening experiences.RAG319 wrote:All the way through? Probably like once or twice.

I think I had heard almost half of Lightning Bolt, before that had been released.

In the midst of the second listen.

Perhaps. But depending on my mood, Retrograde, which I've never really liked, and River Cross can be a chore. I'd rather just relisten to the songs I'm digging currently.Chris_H_2 wrote:but don't think that you may have a better appreciation for the "skip" songs whilst listening to them within the contest of the entire album?RAG319 wrote:All the way through?
