You can have the greatest album ever and it would still be a pain to flip that many records that many times.

If it's the greatest album ever made you should be willing to fight a Rancor to listen to it. Maybe you just don't love music enough.

Dude, it takes less than a minute and you have 10-15 minutes in between flips.

Well I'm a lazy mofo, and flipping and putting that many records back in their sleeves is still a pain. All I'm saying is that it's easier/more convenient to listen to an album like "All Eyez on Me" or "Mellon Collie" on CD.

I think vinyls split the album up in more meaningful ways though, especially for albums like On the Beach, where the first half is very eclectic and a little scatterbrained, and the second is more folky, atmospheric, and introspective; or Funhouse, where the Saxophone is latterly introduced and the songs become wilder even than the first half. Grizzly Bear even split their newest album up conceptually on vinyl, and it's an album that was made to be almost entirely cohesive as if for CD.

Oh, and Smile makes the truest sense of Brian Wilson's vision on vinyl.

I don't think I've ever listened to that album all the way through anyway irrespective of the format. It's over two hours long.

Really? You definitely should check out the whole thing, not one bad tune imo

Definitely true, and with albums like that, flipping is not only necessary but it serves a meaningful purpose. But it's not the case with ALL albums, and especially not the case with "All Eyez on Me".

Na I have heard everything on there, just in segments, not all the way through. I bought the CD.

It's not an album I can sit and listen to for 2+ hours.

What I love about vinyls is that, for example, prog rock albums like The Wall and Dark ide (obviously) were intended to be one long song, and on the vinyl this is achieved, whereas on the cd it kinda breaks it up a lot more.
