How do people know when an album has to ""click""

Do you know how retarded you have to be to even ask this question?

If it has to click, it's shit 100% of the time.
Sometimes it has good parts sprinkled in but if it was an overall unenjoyable experience first time, it is shit.

Not a whole lot of albums that I initially don't like 'click' soon after, but over time as tastes change I've gone back and appreciated / loved albums I'd written off when I first heard them.

"Clicking" is just musical stockholm syndrome and peer pressure.

idk i feel like it's kind of in between these two. There are definitely albums that clicked for me after a couple listens, or at least got much better, but you should never have to force yourself to like an album. That's not "clicking".

i feel like as I've listened to music I've just gotten a general sense of whether or not an album is worth spending time on. I can usually tell from first spin if there's potential for a "click" in the future or not. Like any National album, or Beach House, or Blonde, got better the more times I played them, but I knew the first time I heard Loveless and Hissing Fauna that they wouldn't be for me. idk i feel like you just get a sense of it the longer you listen to music

>enjoying that cochlear stimulation

don't be another one of those reductive losers, anon, you're not that smart for knowing about the mere exposure effect f a m

Good question. If it doesn't click the first time for me I can tell it's worth a second listen because there were interesting elements of it that I wasn't used to that I'd like to check out again. I can tell if it sucks if it is shallow bland and there's nothing I missed the first time

I'm not the one who doesn't listen to anything that isn't immediately accessible

you usually know if it has something going for it

>>73118567
I usually give an album a few listens before I judge the album. It took me 7 listen for In Rainbows to click and now it's one of my favorite album.

if you're intrigued by it but feel like you haven't wrapped your head around it yet
vs thinking "wow this is neither interesting nor enjoyable"
