Album #53 is finally airing on the radio and online starting today--which probably means nothing to the majority of you who've already heard the album. But for those of us like me who have been patient, we'll be listening to the new shows week after week and working through things slowly--that's the best way to enjoy AIO, rather than getting through half of AIO's 2011 episodes in five hours! I'll try to post my thoughts as we go along, although we'll see how that works out with my busy schedule.
For now, here's a few questions that I think are worth pondering: how are you approaching album #53? For those of you who've already listened to the whole thing, are you already over these episodes, looking ahead to album #54? Is The Green Ring Conspiracy better in one sitting, or do you think allowing the suspense to build over eleven weeks is more rewarding overall? And for those of you who have restrained themselves from listening, has all the buzz (and sometimes even spoilers) in the AIO fan community about this album taken away from the surprises in it?
My quick answers to those questions: Cautiously; not applicable; the latter, I'm sure; and yes. Probably in that order. :-)

Yay! You're the first person I've heard from who actually waited with me! Thank you! Now I don't have to feel left out when I'm frustrated at the cliffhangers when they come.
I'm going to listen week to week. I think it's a crying shame that so many people jumped on the digital download of the album. Odyssey albums should not be heard all in one sitting, especially albums of this nature. It's suposed to keep the listeners in suspense. Focus just wants to make money, that's all there is to it. Even buying the physical album and listening all at once is wrong. Focus shouldn't let people gorge over it. Focus, bring back the days of: radio, then album. Plain and simple!
