Yes :) another thing is that albums were expensive, you could only afford so many (once a month for me), so you'd spend more time listening to it, appreciating it and getting into some songs on the album that weren't instant hits, but slow burners, sometimes these would end up your favorites.

With streaming, its all vapor, listen to 5 seconds, "meh, next". So artists play it safe and make everything simple and uncomplicated.
