You're 100% right of course.
It's all in how you choose to spend your time.
When I listened to vinyl as a kid it was in my parents' room (for some reason the turntable was in there) and I'd go sit down and listen to it, doing nothing else. As I started recording on to cassettes I'd buy a record, record it the first time it played, and then go to my room with the liner notes to read the lyrics while listening. But I haven't sat down with a new album and the lyrics for a full listen-through for a long, long time.
I just picked up the new Dream Theater CD - a two hour plus concept album. I don't have any idea when I'll have the chance to sit down and give it the attention it's intended for.
