@normative If you're reviewing, say, two to three albums a week, how many times can you realistically listen to (and focus solely on) each?

@ayjay Do we have to?

@normative Many films benefit from multiple viewings. Like "Inglourious Basterds"; grew on me each time I saw it. Went from a B- to an A....

@normative For instance, when I was reviewing movies I'd rarely see anything more than once. But that was a function of studio sked, mostly.

@normative Honest question, as I don't review music: How often do you have to listen to an album before you can review it?
