So, i've got 535 albums to listen to in 5 days...
if i'm to get my Album of the Year lists done.
Normally get through this list (http://www.albumoftheyear.org/ratings/overall/2012/1), ticking things off as and when they're released.
This year, though, only listened to about 25 new albums, sadly.
At the start of October, i started working my way through the list, and got through 160 in a month. In November, i haven't listened to a single album.
I'm not entirely sure 107 alblums a day is doable.
Even if i allow myslf until the end of the calendar year, that's still about 15 a day, not allowing for December releases.
I guess i'm posting this for two reasons. Firstly, to give myself a boot up the arse, but secondly, to warn you in advance that the final lists might not be absolutey definitive.
Pleasure.

That is a large number
you can trim that right back, surely? Even getting through 500 in a whole year is pushing it, that is more than one new record a day. I load up my mp3 player with just the music of the current year in around Novembertime, I only have about 40 on there at the most!

try playing them 10 at a time
I'm sure your subconscious will be able to sort them for you.
a bit like this - they might even all sound better together

at 20 seconds a track to decide if a song is any good
and surely no more than 3 songs an album to decide if the album is worth listening to all the way through, you should be able to get through these in no time.

that's pretty much how I do my job.
helps if you skip the opener, and if track two isn't any good, try track seven or eight. Gives you a quick taste if it's your sort of thing or not. -
i've got 535 albums to listen to
and a Bpitch Control release ain't one

this is insane
this is NO way to enjoy music.

who said anything about enjoying?
forza's dutifully fulfilling his public office.

Too bad you can't....
