inaugural run-through examination: thru headphones layin down

or sittin in a worthy chair with a beer and a pack of scags. preferably at night with no other electronic machines vying for attention of the god here in 2012.

next 1-2 runs: thru bookshelf speakers powered by a receiver in my apartment while i clean/mess around in the house. the stage where most new music submissions reach their demise.

final selection process: on the computer with headphones

---
if its made it this far and has passed inspection, it usually plays the rest of its life out in my car as newer projects take center stage at home where inspection takes place.

if your music is in my car's in-dash 30gb harddrive, it has reached the holy grail and pinnacle of existence.

whole process takes 1-3 weeks.

great stuff like cigarette boats gets thrown in the car in less than 12 hours.
terrible stuff can get the recycle bin treatment in 20 minutes.

average album reviewed gets chopped down to 2-6 songs. any more than six from the same album, its probably in contention for top 10 albums of the year.

:whoo:

When I used to cop physical, I enjoyed the drive back home listening to the album with the windows down and lookin at the album artwork during red lights.

Digital era? I like listening to an album before I go to bed. All lights off, no distraction and headphones on...I "see" the album much better that way.

props on this post I used to do this shiiit too all the time for the exact reasons you gave but lately Im not nearly as into gaming as I used to be, just got other hobbies I got nothing against it so mostly I smoke up but I notice that sometimes it takes me longer to like an album this way.

At night, in bed (no homo), with the room pitch black, sensory deprivation. with noise canceling headphones, with the volume 2-3 notches from the max based on the mastering. I usually don't want my wife or kids to bother me while I'm vibing.

The 2nd and third listens are usually in the whip.
