Never. If I listen to samples I won't be completely surprised.

Ditto Mr Barla (previous post). I listen to soundfiles if at all possible. This is becoming increasingly more common, due to most bands having soundfiles on their websites. Up until a year or two ago it would be very rare for me to hear anything of an album prior to purchase. Most of my record collection has been obtained by the fingers crossed method.

None of the above, I choose 'sometimes'.

Never.

I always try to hear the whole album before buying it. There are some exceptions though.

I'm kind of curious, when you are faced with an artist whose mucis you haven't heard, do you rely in reviews and comments or do you actually download a sample of his muci to buy it?
 
I usually don't. That's why I have quite a few awful cd's in my collection. But I just don't like listening to anything "in pieces".... I prefer to read a comment, read a few more, buy the cd, listen to it, and then agree or not with the review.
 
You?
