Now days, I'm too money-conscious and I'll only buy an album if I absolutely like it... so I download it first to be sure. After that, the anticipation is gone and all you have is the new album smell.
And it doesn't even smell as good when you know what the songs sound like, for some reason.  |
I'm sure I've expressed these exact sentiments in this thread already in my own words, but I just wanted to say I agree completely with this. The last bit especially rings more true every time I buy a CD...it's not nearly as exciting when you've already heard it. I get buyer's remorse, and that sucks because I love collecting and actually owning the music.
