Built to Spill - You In Reverse is the best example I can think of, but I still thought the album was ok on first listen, but then after a couple more it moved up to really good, and then a few more fricking awesome amazingness.

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.

SGT Peppers lonely hearts club band

Wow, I'm not a huge Tool fanboy, but I was blown away by 10,000 Days pretty much right away. Their stuff always takes a lot of listens to really dig in to, but I could tell it was good.

I wasn't sure what to think of Kid A at first. Such a departure from anything I listened to, not like their previous albums, etc.

Every modest mouse album

I've found this happens to me with alot of bob dylan albums.

For example besides like the few really well known songs off bringing it all back home like mr. tambourine man i didn't find it to be all that great the first time, but a couple years later this is probably one of my favorite albums of all time and every time i listen to it, it blows me away.

I also found this with the national- boxer. I think whenever an album is a little more chilled out, and isn't faster rock etc. it can be much more subtle, and thus you aren't always immediately drawn into it.

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 ]I like this post a lot. I definitely got into some of the slower Dylan songs etc after hearing a lot of his stuff and hearing them over a lot of times.

I think I could say In Rainbows, also, the quality that your listening to it on is crucial. When I was listening in car it was meh, but listening with super-headphones it's spectacular.
