SymbolicInTime 02.23.20	I dont go through entire discographies all of the time, but it really depends. If its something heavier, I'll knock out an album whenever I'm in the gym. Sometimes at work, I have the opportunity to listen to music the entire 8 hours and will use that time to spin the next album(s) in line. If I have time to play videogames, I'll throw on an album in the background. I just pluck away at the discog whenever I can. Sometimes I get 4-5 albums down in one day, sometimes I get 1 over the course of a week or two. But I almost always start from the beginning and work chronologically. Edit: oh and cleaning time around the house is another major music checking time
AnimalsAsSummit 02.23.20	start off with the one that interests you most and then go for everything else
highandtight 02.23.20	very carefully. discographies are easily startled and can be dangerous when they feel threatened. walk, don't run. speak in a calm, appeasing tone. don't make direct eye contact and avoid turning your back on discogs at all costs.
ItsTheSquirrel 02.23.20	I always like to give every album one proper listen with lyrics open and then at least 1-3 background listens when going through someone's discography. Although I'm still in high school so I guess I have a lot more free time than you do
JokineAugustus 02.23.20	I listen while I watch my Avs play. Don't really need the commentary for the most part. Lauren Jbara is a babe though.
GhandhiLion 02.23.20	chronologically
parksungjoon 02.23.20	i don't
ArsMoriendi 02.23.20	It's usually best to start with one of their most well-loved ones and see if that high point shows that their entire discography is probably worth it
zakalwe 02.23.20	It’s a discography you’re not diffusing a bomb. Just dive in for fuck sake or don’t.
highandtight 02.23.20	a discography killed my parents
parksungjoon 02.23.20	don't [2]
teamster 02.23.20	I discovered Opeth around 2010. The first album I listened to was Ghost Reveries. Big mistake.
zakalwe 02.23.20	Heritage was my first step on the ladder and it’s still my fave. Discog is totally peppered with classics though.
BenThatsMyJamin 02.23.20	I pretty much just listen to the most highly regarded one (either from sputnik/RYM ratings or general hype) or the one that sounds like it would appeal to me most from descriptions. If I vibe with it, I check out their other albums (usually the ones released around the same time period first) and if I don't, I probably won't listen to their other stuff. If I don't like their most acclaimed album it's unlikely I'll like their other material, and life is short. Exception would be if they had a dramatic stylistic change.
BenThatsMyJamin 02.23.20	I'll rarely listen to a whole discog unless I really love a band tbh
Bedex 02.23.20	I like to go through a couple artists at a time so that I can alternate and not listen to the same band all day long
oltnabrick 02.23.20	stfu
Shuyin 02.23.20	Maybe listen to an album or 2 a day and get a feeling for the bands evolution over the years. Some bands just lose the passion or energy while at the same time becoming better at their instruments/vocals
