The best listening experience is to find an album you like and listen to the whole thing.
Anything else imo is like looking at the corner of a painting and ignoring the rest.
But if listening to an entire album was necessary 100% of the time, artists wouldn't release singles.
Sometimes yeah, but other times it's really just one song. For example, I really like the song "Ruler of Everything" by Tally Hall, but when I tried listening to more of their stuff I mostly didn't like it. There are also many intermediate cases. I can confidently say "Eh el Ibara" by Masar is my favorite music ever. As for the album it's from, "El 'Aysh Wel Mehl", it's a solid album, maybe in my top 12. Same for the band in general. The leader/composer Hazem Shaheen might be ranked a bit higher, like maybe my 6th or 7th favorite musician, because I also like some of the other songs he made without this band, like "Horse of Darwish". But there are more instances where I'll want to listen to just my 1 favorite song rather than to my 12th favorite album entirely.
Sometimes that one brush stroke is really good, but I really do not give a shit about another still life painting.
Or always.
Yeah, always.
You've missed out on thousands of hours of bliss.
That's what Sting said too.
