I'll be listening to my entire album collection, and keeping this blog as a means of accountability. I've tried this sort of project in the past, and it didn't exactly work. Maybe having a "system" or whatnot in place will help.
So, for each album, I'll include:
-A general summary
-A rating
-High points/tracks
-Low points/tracks
Hopefully this will stick. Guess we'll see.
This post will also serve as "home base" as I'm still in the process of organizing it all... which includes converting to 128 bitrate, tagging each track, and of course, putting the year in front of the album name so I can go through this chronologically.
