Anyone else having a hard time listening to anything but IYD

I've never had a harder time not listening to an album. I first started listening to In Your Dreams 15 days ago. And any other music now seems inferior

I don't get it. This didn't happen with TISL or SYW. Maybe because I was much newer fan then and while the "new" album was the newest thing, it wasn't "that" much newer then everything else I was listening to, and in the case of TISL there was still Stevie?Mac related material I had yet to even purchase, so I had a lot more to explore. I've spent the last 8 years rotating the same material, granted great material and a lot of it. So this album has just been an even bigger event to me then I thought it was gonna be. And if the album was not good or even mediocre it'd be different. But the album exceeded my espectations.

Anyone else struggling to listen to anything else but IYD?

I wouldn't say I have had this experience... but as much as Stevie will always be at/near the top of my list as far as musical taste, I have a need for always maintaining a variety in what I listen to on a daily basis (classical, world music, prog/classic rock, pop music). I have never been able to listen to anything on repeat (on rare occasion, I might listen to an album 2 times in a row). However having said that, I do notice that each time I listen to IYD, I enjoy it equally as much or with respect to certain songs, even more so than before... and that doesn't happen very often for me. I also look forward to hearing it again each time, but I have deliberately kept myself from listening to it too much within a short period of time... I don't want to overdo it and get tired of it too quickly.

Yeah..this week I bought the new Fleet Foxes album and have not listened to it all the way through yet..also probably because it's just not as good as their first one.

Yes. I fear I'm wearing the album out.

I tell myself every day that I'm going to listen to something else and give the album a break, but that never ends up happening.

Though I did take a break today and listened to some Christine McVie.

To tell you the shocking truth.....I'm a little burned out on IYD. Because that was all i listened to.....seriously. Between the stream and getting the album, I listened to nothing but IYD. So it's been put away.....For now

I'm right behind you. It's borderline worn out for me as well. I *NEED* to give it a rest before I sour to the album. I haven't listened to it today... maybe I can keep up my willpower.

Right now, the women songs of IYD are separating themselves from the girl songs.

Happily, I'm finding an album of 7 songs that are now in my bloodstream, which there they shall stay. In a year or two, 5 or 4 will go to my bone marrow,that's fine. In 10 years (knock on wood), I will be happy with 3 songs in the DNA of every cell.
