    I Still do really, i tried my best to ignore Nas - Nasty track... but i had to hear it!!

    Ive done this for a lot of albums, its how i got into Atmosphere (my favorite group) i just copped WLGYL without hearing any of the songs.... One of my favorite albums ever...Then i got into the rest of their catalogue..

    Same here. This is a borderline spam thread but I'll let it slip given people's interest.

    I don't see why people check nigh on the whole album, always leads to disappointment. I'll listen to the single, but then we always heard the single anyways.
