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.

But if listening to an entire album was necessary 100% of the time, artists wouldn't release singles.
I like listening to full albums because then I can decide which songs I can listen to again later on, and which ones to actively avoid.
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.
