I think i got too much to swallow at once.
Dude, this is a family oriented website. We have children here.
Anyway, yes, I have too much new music and more seems to be coming out all the time that I must have. Unfortunately, my budget and my desires outweigh my time to listen.
I can understand your anger at me, but what did the horse I rode in on ever do to you?

Save some for a rainy day. I often have a binge and buy loads of albums at once - the problem with that approach is that you sort of skim-hear them and don't really listen to them properly. I "hide" a couple away (often on the bottom shelf of on of the CD racks where I seldom look) and listen to them in a week or so. Another trick is to ration yourself to one a day. Unless I've completely missunderstood whatever this thread is about of course, then ignore me.

I'm kind of crazy... I have a job, I go to college, have classes, tests... and I bought like 6 books to read (among them "This is Your Brain in Music", The Antichrist), I have like 400 new movies sent from me from my country (don't ask me why, legal reasons...), and still have like 25 more new cd's to listen to,... When I came here in Nov. 2005 I had 65 rock cd's.... Today I have 530... I'm one of the three biggest idiots ever, the other two are just my alter egos....
Anyway, I don't understand what this poll is about, so that was a useless rant about how my brain activity kind of... sucks...
Oh man. I remember buying 7 CDs at once (yes, yes I'm the average impulsive buyer). I had problems on what album or artist to listen to first and what's gonna be the next one and so on. I literally had to plan my "listening sessions" in order to catch up on my purchases. In the end, I didn't enjoy much of what I bought, coz I'm so preoccupied on what to listen to next, forgetting to appreciate the CD inside the player.Sometimes I ponder, do I own my CDs or do they own me. So yes, I think I'm having an unhealthy addiction for new music, but I'm definitely far from going crazy.

I've experienced similar problems. Last summer I averaged well over 20 CDs a month and it really took me a long time before I really got time to listen to them
