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.

alblums!
I think the secret is to listen to more than one at once
pull your finger out lad
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!
Tiny Mix Tapes, such a screw-averages wankers.
:p
It should be excluded! Immediately!
Of course not. I agree with some of that rates.
Ok. Then albums with less than 3 rates should be excluded!
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

Oh c'mon, you who got through the entire Sonic Youth catalogue (must be about 53 albums) in one hour can't manage a piffling ten times that in 5 days?
You turned soft or something?
good luck
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.
does the opener count if its an instrumental?
there's a hell of a lot of really good albums not on that list.
i've got 535 albums to listen to
and a Bpitch Control release ain't one
Looking forward to this.
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....
play cd's and mp3s on 78 like in the good old days :D
