The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

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.

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.

But if listening to an entire album was necessary 100% of the time, artists wouldn't release singles.

Streetlight Manifesto is one of the few bands I go out of my way to listen to every song on every album, because they're that good and have almost no bad songs. I can't wait for the next album that's supposed to drop this year.

Edit: Beast in Black too.

I'm a mix of both. That's why I pay for Spotify, and also own a turntable setup. Sometimes I just want single tracks, sometimes I want to sit down and listen to the entire album. There are some albums where I'll only listen to the entire thing.

I'm the opposite. Usually listen to full albums and even if I really like one or two songs, if the album sucks otherwise I'm unlikely to listen to them much, if at all.
