>>71948974
Dont even know why i didn't like this at first, it's damn near amazing.
Could barely make it past the second track on my first listen. I listened to it again after I kinda liked De-Loused In The Comatorium and now I love it
thought it was too long and boring, now it's my favorite album
>>71948974
the downward spiral
Thought this was a talented band ruined by LOLQUIRKY vocals and LOLRANDOM songwriting
With repeat listens it's revealed itself as my favorite rock album
>>71949365
My favorite too m8! Although I loved it upon my first listen.
>>71949458
I was vaguely familiar with their earlier stuff before I tackled StG. It blew my mind and gave me a new appreciation for On Land and Sea/A Little House.
>>71949270

pretty much this
I still don't like Taxman, but it doesn't stop me from enjoying the rest of Revolver anymore.
I guess most people went through the same thing when it first came out.

>quirky vocals
i always assumed he's just one of those guys who have a naturally weird sounding voice, or just way of talking
what's that they usually call them? oh right, brits
and yeah the songwriting style actually turns out to be rewarding rather than irritating because while they switch between riffs a lot, it's usually cyclical so you have something to latch on and look forward to
literally ALL my top ten.

I loved all Radiohead albums instantly, but this took like 2 years to get into
still not even my favorite Radiohead albums though
I think I turned it off halfway through Throne of Agony first time. Just seemed obnoxious and cheesey. Don't know what happened but I tried it again a few months later and absolutely loved it
I hated Sufjans vocals at first cuz they were " too whispery"
>>71948974
This one. Took me three listens across two years.
>>71948974
i first listened to this last summer and did not understand how it could be praised at all. a few months later i found out my dad has it on vinyl, so i borrowed it and played it again, a bit better this time, i think i'm slowly starting to appreciate this album, but man is it special
>>71949712
how the fuck do you get any studying done listening to this?
>>71951134
this one i actually loved from my first listen
>>71949720
>This
Paul Simon - Graceland
I don't know what I was thinking
>>71948974
Same thing happened to me op. Couldn't even make it past Crosseyed and Painless on first listen, now I think it's a 9.8/10 album
>>71949248
Nice to see some love for Anthrax
Used to be only into thrash and deathcore. Didn't appreciate all the technical skill. Now it's like one of my favorite albums.
>>71950755
Yeahh i was in the same position, i thought that album was overrated
>>71948974
How could anyone hate this album?
I was completely sold after the first 20 seconds.
>>71950755
It's not that I didn't liked it but I just didn't cared for it since I got late into radiohead and In Rainbows had more of what I was looking for in the band.
Not my favorite RH album but all the tracks really grown on me, the whole "you will begin to love Kid A after repeated listens" thing is true.
