• welcome to the 2022 music exploration project, an experiment to try and break out of my listening comfort zone
• the plan is to listen to 52 albums throughout 2022
• to make this more digestible, the sets of albums are broken up into seasons
• currently there’s no method to picking the albums, but I am thinking of theming the seasons (i.e. winter only has albums that came out last year)
• once I’m done listening to an album, I’ll give it a rating, note down any favorite tracks, and maybe write a few words about it in the album’s subpage

winter

all of the selections for winter were pulled from the Rolling Stone’s “50 best albums of 2021” with the hopes of catching gems I missed from the last year. I’m already a bit behind (what’s new) so I’ll be listening to a few albums in one go, but after my catch up I expect to adhere to the 1 album = 1 week

2022 albums

→ spring

my album exploration project really got put on pause with the ~robotics season~. I’m probably not going to set any goals here since I’m so horrendously behind on the winter ones, but hopefully I can use this season to catch up and simply listen to any new albums that come out that intrigue me
