Should I Buy Song or Album?

I purchased a few songs from itunes this week and I wanted to see what you guys think. For those of you that actually like the songs, would you have bought just the song or the whole album.

1.Seether-Fake It, Rise Above This
2.Panic at the Disco-Nine in the Afternoon
3.Finger Eleven-One Thing
4.Flyleaf-All Around Me
5.The Sundays-Wild Horses
6.Feist-1234

Only a few albums come to mind when you would have honestly buy most of the songs on the album. Most albums used to have maybe 2-3 good songs, and the rest were just album filler.

So I would buy per song, unless most of the songs off the album were good.

I like the flyleaf record. However, they have a deluxe version w/ CD + DVD you could probably pick up for the same price as the Itunes album.

+1 on #6. You should also get her first two albums.

Of the songs you listed, I'd only purchase Feist's full album.

I really like the Seether album and wasn't much of a fan before hand. There's only about two songs I'd consider filler.
