getting into an album

ok, so uhm, I don't know, for example:
you're surfing the web and you hear all these great things
about a particular album but you haven't heard it yet.
Curious as you are, you go out and buy it or burn it on cd
or whatever.
You put it your cd player and OMG it's crap. Now are you
the type of guy/girl that just throws the disc away in the
corner and never listens to it again. Or are you that type
of guy/girl that'll listen to it a few times more and than
make conclusions?
Cuz I've noticed that a lot of albums need some kind of
understanding, you have to really get into it to like it.
And I can well understand that a lot of people don't make
time for this. But how about you?

I have bought CD's and thought they where shit until I
impulse played them again and found something. Also my taste
changes at times but I never throw a CD away incase I want
to listen to it again.

Alot of albums have to catch you in the mood

I thought Geogaddi was no where near as good as MHTRTC, but
all i had to do is listen to Julie and Candy when i was in
the right frame of mind and i think its a great album now

if i don't hear at least SOMETHING that catches my
attention, then i scrap it.

Sometimes though, if there is even one part of one track
that I like, or if i know the artist is compitent through
other releases i give it a chance.

Some of the greatest albums ever I started out not liking at
all.

I returned SAW2 to the record store twice before the 3rd
purchace wehn I "got it"

I'm a packrat, so even if I don't like the CD I bought, I'd
keep it. I hate throwing anything away.

If I like it alot... I listen to it obsessively. If I like
it a little, I'll give it a few listens and then go back to
it only occasionally. If I don't like it... it stays anyway!
It's a little embarrsing looking back in my CD collection
and seeing Creed: My Own Prison. Blech.

somewhere in your room, left, forgotten..

Yeah, like IDM before i got into it sounded shit to me. Just
like a bunch of fucked up noises. A few of my friends that i
hang around with the most listened to it. And when i was
around them i listened to it more and more. I then started
to like it, and now i can't get enough of it. Any or most
IDM is the best music to my ears now. No other genre
compares.

i buy a lot of music, dislike it, don't listen to it for
months, and then on some strange impulse, pick it up and
love it.
other albums i know i'll like but its going to take some
work to get to that point.

I have boxes of dusty CD's I don't play but i'm still
keeping them incase I...

I guess i'm a horder.

Anyone want a Rednex discography? maybe Pizzaman's full CD
set. I have thousands of CDs.. :/

i dont throw any cds away
my taste cange and what i was listening to two years ago i
do not now..
if the cd is good it stays on the music shelves infront of
me like
afx
bjork
orbital
orb
stereolab
and that sorts
what moved to the other side of the room where the cds i
grab once a year ar what i dont listen to much or not
interesting
when i hear about a band i download their songs and listen
to the songs as i am playing my RPGs and kicking monsters'
ass
if i like what i hear or...some times i find it interesting
but didnt get exactly thw whole feel of the album i keep it


b.o.c MHTRTC is an example
i recorded geodidi befroe MHTRTC cause i got into it quicker

Never throw records away...they're important lessons of how
you found music SHOULD be done...and how it SHOULDN'T be
done...

...A collection is a fingerprint on where you were before,
where you are now and where you'll be after...

I'm feeling a little reticent about this thread.
Anyway I would probably throw it into a corner :-7
Murray what you said about catching you in a mood- Ever
thought God how I love this album why haven't I felt like
that about an album again.

I wanted to start a topic like this so I could talk about
Jamie Lidell's = Muddlin Gear. Holy chist on a cracker. Its
most definatly the worst IDM album ever in the history of
IDM. Besides maybe V/VM = Help Aphex Twin. I heard a song
from it and it was pretty neat. I got it only to find out
that it was the only good track on it. I cant understand how
this guy got signed to warp. People say that his new live
stuff is neat. I hope so, cause if it sounds anything like
his last album I am going to stay far away from it. I even
tried to give it two listenings. But it still sounds like
trash. Very awfull smelling trash. It makes me soo mad to
think I paid 10 bucks for it. I want to find his email and
send him a nasty letter. I played it for my friend is way
into braindance, even more then me. And when it was over he
was like.... WTF was that. Warning* People stay far away
from Jamie Lindell recordings.

Furthermore to this - Assuming this feeling is your bog
standard nostalgia. It must be one the, no what I mean is
well I've struggled with myself "Should I listen to this
album, will it spoil the magic, but I want it back etc
Thinking -the closest I've gotten and this is definetely a
singular case is with a guy Pete NAmlook cause he makes
bucket loads of top quality ambienty electronic head music.
I just go get a fresh one and it's nearly as good.

Talking of character traits -I was the other night- my weak
will - bad point.

I'm the type who will listen to it again a few times later
on. To be honest, I didn't really think Drukqs was all that
great the first time around, but then I started listening to
it more and it really grew on me. Now it's one of my fave
RDJ albums.

honestly, i've never found any full record that didn't
appeal me at all at first, then grew a lot on me...
sometimes my appreciations changes quite a lot, but
generally about tracks, not complete albums.

I never discard cds after one or two listens... now, if I've
owned the cd for a few years, and still hate it, I might
sell it... but some of the best albums I've ever heard have
taken a while for me to really like them... Passion, by
Peter Gabriel took me like a year before I finally was
really into it... and for the first year I would go months
without listening to it... now I think it's without question
the best album I've ever heard, by far...
