Mmm... Depends on the day. Usually, I only listen to a few albums. When there's new stuff, I listen to two a day, but I listen to them over and over so I get used to it. Generally, I take my time. There's no rush.
I think the number of albums is a bit weird. What if I listened to, say, 10 ten-minute EPs and 5 forty-minute albums? That's about 4 hours and a half of music. OR, let's say, I listen to 2 compilations that are each about 4 hours long. Only 2 albums, but holy shit, 8 hours!
But, I tend to try about 10 albums, up to 15. That can often mean just 15 minutes of an album before deciding I'm bored and want to listen to something else...
More likely, 10 is a lot, and 15 is unreasonable. If you want to count 10 minute EP's (which are basically singles) as albums, then your definition is, to me, skewed. And 15 minutes in, bored, on to the next one...should that really count?
Giving the benefit of the doubt, let's go with an average time of 45 minutes per single (not doubles) album. What it was more during the days of all vinyl than the increased time (60-75 minutes) when CD's came about. At 45 minutes per album, you're talking about 11.25 hours of music. This means that if you woke up at 9AM (assuming that if you listen to this much music you don't have a job), and took absolutely no breaks whatsoever, and never once turned off your music, you would be listening from 9AM to 8:15PM. Let's say you take an hour break for lunch. And another hour for meeting with people, taking a walk maybe, things that have to do with life...we're talking music listening from 9AM to 10:15PM.
This is based on 45 minute albums. An average album length of an hour seems more realistic. Wake up at 9AM, listen non stop to 15 albums means you are done at midnight.
I don't know if I can buy into 15. _________________ I'm leaning on the threshold

I think the most I've ever listened to in a day is six, and most of then were just over a half hour, like Revolver. I don't listen to that many albums a day unless they're shorter albums (around twenty-five minutes to a half hour), and even then I typically only clock in 2 hours a day.\
Actually, last month I played five hours of albums in a day.

If I tried 15, that most likely means I didn't finish about half of them, which goes back to why I find the number of albums weird.
How many hours a day do I listen to music? It depends. Over the past two weeks, I've slowed down quite a bit to listen to more my favorites. But before that, I'd listen to maybe... 8 hours a day, more or less. If the average album was 40 minutes, that's 12 albums.
In the holidays I can do over ten albums in a day. Weekdays it'll probably be 1 or 2 albums, at school, then 1 or 2 albums at home. Weekends I'll usually go between 5-10 albums.
I've been the biggest detractor of this album for the longest time. Now that I've had some real missed opportunities, I can safely say that my opinion has just about remained static. I'll give it a bonus 2 percent so now it's a 72%. My opinion is still the same. Round the Bend and Sunday Sun are by far the best songs, though End of the Day and Side of the Road are also pretty good. Some of the Phil Spector strings can be embarrassing though, Guess I'm Doing Fine is still overrated as fuck and It's All In Your Mind is a pathetically overblown song compared to the two-chord lo-fi beauty of the original.
This is exactly why I prefer the lo-fi albums. Not because of the "warmth" but rather the furious guitar and strained vocals that were featured on those albums. These hi-fi albums veer dangerously towards soft rock.
Thankfully, the lyricism is still pretty good.
Albums listened to after midnight, before I went to bed
You know, I should've chosen to listen to XO or From A Basement On The Hill so I can get through this man's discography sooner. Ah well. I wanted a downer of an album but I've listen to the self-titled too recently, so I went with this.
Well, I chose this over Quebec by Ween because it's shorter. Before I listened to this, I listened to Summertime Clothes because I needed some freaking sunshine at 1:15 AM.
Definitely one of my top 10 favorite albums now.
End the day with Birthday Boy by Ween and wow, I just made myself sad. What the hell why did I do that?
