Literally 0

All my absolute favorite albums were slow growers before they became my favorite.

And the albums that are below my favorites didn't quite blow my mind even if I really enjoy them

I have severe ADHD, and when I first listened to this record I was able to pick up on the lyrics and understand a good part of them, which is something I've always found difficult even with years of repeated listens to favorite albums. When I heard Pink Moon I recognized how almost every one of my favorite Musicians emulated some part of his musical and lyrical approach

>>74378958
This album is very good, but a couple of the songs turned me off: made the whole listen through a bit inconsistent. But I can understand how many would respond in this way.
>>74379574
Yes yes yes! I had the same reaction on listens first, second, third etc.
Classical Curves is one of the most formative albums to my current my music taste.
I think I found it on a /mu/ sharethread not long after I started visiting the website.
This album's eccentricities only ever seemed to translate laterally; the production style HEAVILY influenced other artists he shared the Night Slugs label with.
