Do you listen to music in albums or picked songs?

Even though i mostly listen to individual songs, i agree with this.
On rare occasions i find an album that i like from top to bottom and once i do, it changes the whole experience for me, i start noticing the concept of the album as a whole, the subtle differences in the songs, the consistency of the band, alot of things that i don't get by listening to just a couple of songs from their album.

Songs for me. I usually only listen to an album when I first discover it or buy it. I appreciate the sounds and concepts of each album, but I like to transition between all the different artists and tracks on my iPod instead of playing an album all the way through.
