Great thread.
I'm gearing up to make my own album from the ground up after years of doing full album commisions for production companies and recording EP collaborations with friends.
It just feels like the right thing to do, although I've encountered many of the problems adressed here on my other projects.
I agree with the advice about setting a general deadline, for any project - it certainly tightens up your efficiency and general critical faculties.
This thread has sealed it for me to get on and do it!
Cheers, and good luck with all those who'll soon be embarking on this lonesome but enlightening journey, otherwise known as being stuck in a room for months.
