Radiohead's new album In Rainbows was like this for me. Nothing grabbed me in the first few listens but now I like listening to it from start to finish over and over. [/ QUOTE ] Same here, also agree w/ Modest Mouse as well. And lol at st. anger, that just got worse and worse. |

Re: Albums that needed a few listens
I'm another one for 10,000 Days. I'm still not really all that into it. It took me a while to warm up to Aenima, then it became one of my faves.

Re: Albums that needed a few listens
The first thing that came to mind was Outkast - ATLiens. I was pretty ambivalent after my first listen, but since has become one of my favorites - certainly my favorite album to zone out and listen to the whole thing.
As far as going from dislike to like, all of Ghostface's albums. |

Re: Albums that needed a few listens
I agree with whoever said Bob Dylan.
I like most of the albums mentioned here, but in many cases, I had no problem getting into them, so, for me: Ellen Allien & Apparat - Orchestra of Bubbles Sufjan Stevens - Illinois (the whole album, I liked 3-4 songs alot on first listen) Pretty much every Tom Waits album. I kinda like it the first time, then I love it. I don't know what else. |

A lot of stuff here (bob dylan, neon bible, modest mouse stuff) I "got" right away. That said I think the biggest ones for me were Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea, and Kid A. [/ QUOTE ] That's pretty freaky that these were the exact 3 albums I came in here to mention. It must not be coincidence. I think the biggest one for me out of these three, however, is YHF. YHF took me, literally, a year of occasional listening to eventually come to love and it now stands as one of the most flawless records I have ever had the privilege of hearing. It really is a grower in the truest sense. Growers are always really worth it and I am glad that I listened to the advise of one of my good friends and CMI also, who encouraged me to give these albums a chance. They are now huge in my life. On a slightly related note, my favorite movie of ALLLL time is The Big Lebowski and it took me 3 times to even like the darn thing. I now literally fall asleep to it every night [with a Bob Dylan song in the opening credits usually being one of the last things I hear] Growers are worth it. |

As far as going from dislike to like, all of Ghostface's albums. [/ QUOTE ] Very true. It also took me like 5 years to really start to like Wu-Tang Forever. Also took me a while until I started loving Liquid Swords. Must be a Wu-Tang thing. And RZA's Bobby Digital took everyone who listens to it about 6 years to start appreciating it, because I remember when it first came out all I heard was how terrible it was and it was a huge disappointment. |

Re: Albums that needed a few listens
Kid A I got like immediately.
Yankee & Aeroplane are spot on, though. |
