In what order do you open the record, find it on discogs, explore the package, and listen? (self.vinyl)

i used to try to find it on discogs before opening, but then it just felt like a spoiler if i'd get something cool or not. now i am trying to open, appreciate everything, add to database, then listen, reading reviews as a last step because i don't want anyone else's opinion of a pressing influencing my feelings of it

for me, I like to add it to my Discogs as I'm opening and looking at some of the packaging and inserts while I'm pulling out the record. I put on side A as I finish looking through the packaging and listen to it all the way through.

Don't really use Discogs for the reviews side of things, I pretty much only buy records that I already like or am pretty sure I would
