Just a quick thought...
When I see these lists of the best albums of the year, I often wonder how you can have enough time to sit and actually absorb the material on each album. I would assume that whomever is composing these does not pay for each and every album, because when I see lists of the '100 Best Metal Albums of the Year', I begin to wonder how this is even possible.
I know I certainly couldn't find the time to listen to and review that many albums without shirking every other responsibility I might have! Nor could I find anywhere near the level of spare cash required to buy that many albums in a year...
The difference between a hobby and a career? Probably.
