According to new research in the U.K., listening to a full music album is one of the best ways to de-stress -- more so than gardening, exercising or taking a nap.
Elsewhere in the report, nearly 60% of people agreed that listening to albums is "to listen to the artist's music in the way that they intended." Nearly half of people agreed that listening to albums is "more satisfying than listening to radio," but albums only narrowly beat playlists as the most satisfying form of listening for respondents.
Nearly half of people also agreed that "listening to albums is the best way to connect with an artist and their music." "National Album Day is fundamentally a celebration of the cultural impact of the album," said ERA CEO. "What is striking about this research is it’s a potent reminder that album listening can also have psychological benefits too. We tend to regard listening to music purely as entertainment, but at a time when there are real concerns about stress levels and mental health, this research indicates that British music fans are effectively self-medicating with their favourite albums.
