In 2015 I listened to about 180 albums that I hadn't ever heard before. About 30 of those were released in 2015, but the rest spanned nearly 80 years of music history (though, to be fair, most were pop-punk or symphonic metal from the last two decades).
For 2016 I decided to listen to 366 new albums. I thought it'd stretch me but be a fun goal to work toward. We're 40 days into the year and I'm currently listening to album #80, so I think I'm going to be just fine.
It really surprises me how much I can listen to in 8 hours of work. I usually listen to a couple new albums (some over an hour), a couple old favorites, a podcast episode or two, and half an hour of an audiobook if I'm not actively reading something for work. That's a lot of listening. It's been fun.
I'm going to start posting quick reviews of what I'm listening to. I'll do it in batches so that it's not three or four blog posts a day.
