There’s so much pressure in the academic community to ‘get published’ as a rite of passage and for maintaining ‘relevancy’ in one’s community, so it’s no surprise actual studies set out to confirm obvious truisms as a means to an end.

Trying to go back and listen to as many great albums as possible is more of a lifelong goal, not something that can be reasonably accomplished for a new year’s resolution. However, if you are committed to listening to more albums, the best thing start yourself off is to keep tabs on the schedule of upcoming releases. If you see a band or artist you love, go ahead and pre-order that album. When it’s released, you will find that you have set yourself up to listen to it all the way through. That’s what I did for 2022 and I absolutely don’t regret it.

Thanks for catching that. Not sure how that typo happened.

I’m pretty sure the max for a music CD is 80 minutes.
