Default Albums that needed a few listens

There are some albums that I fall in love with immediately. Others take a while. I remember being extremely disappointed with Tool's 10,000 Days first listen through. After a few times through, I liked it more and more. Now it's one of my favorite albums.

Same thing happened with White Stripes and Icky Thump.

What albums did you dislike at first, but after more listens, is now a fave?

Mars Volta, Amputechture. Day of the Baphomets has to be one of the most amazing songs ever, and I loathed the song and the group at first.

I came in here to say 10,000 days. I suspect many others will too.

A lot of albums are like this for me. Three that come to mind are: Roger Waters "The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking", The Black Crowes "Amorica", and Jerry Cantrell "Boogey Depot" I think all three are great albums, with Amorica being one of my top five all time favorites.

It took me like a year of occasional random listening to get into Meshuggah's Chaosphere.

One of the songs on it also has the best video ever.

I think almost every great album is like this. These are the ones that stand out for me:

Catherine Wheel, Adam & Eve
Neutral Milk Hotel, In the Aeroplane Over the Sea
My Bloody Valentine, Loveless
Built to Spill, Perfect From Now On
