This may sound pretentious but from reading how this "experiment" was going to be I knew it was a bad idea.

I get the idea here: wanting to have a deeper familiarity with some albums you've only heard once (personally, I listen to albums/EPs before passing any judgement) maybe some of them by a band that has produced one of your "masterpiece" records.

But, on the other hand, I don't get why subjecting yourself strictly to some music would be good. I find it better to listen to new music or music I have not digested yet along with music that I love already.

Just make it part of your routine. Do you want to listen to that obscure album? Just put it between some other music you enjoy or make that one your first listen of the day. Making it part of your routine is a good idea but variety is good and, in the case of the author, unavoidable. Especially because the author is a record producer.

This is a no-go idea for me.
