Name an album or albums that you thought sucked initially...but over time have become some of your favorites. My most recent is Baysides "Sirens and Condolences"...when I first bought it I didnt really like it...I thought all the songs sounded the same for some reason. But now everytime I listen to it, it stays in my cd player for weeks on end. I love it! Its simple but so fun to listen to when your down.

oh man there's too many to count. i really didn't think Deja Entendu was that great at first, but now i love it. and i wasn't really a big fan of White Pony from the Deftones either, but that's one of my best cd's. there's prob alot more but i'm way tired right now.

I agree with the Brand New album. I was sketch at first, but it's okay now. Better than that TBS crap.

No I definatley agree with SonnyPunk.......I listened to the Bayside cd like one time the week I got it. And now I listen to it all the time, like you I thought that all the songs sound the same....which to me they still all kind of do.

i think there's alot of people, including me, who didnt know what to think of that when it first came out

p.s. the last song on that cd is incredible

weird one...brand new-your favorite weapon, it was okay, and after i knew they could do better i liked the cd more...

northstar-ITTL, i expected semething different but then when i let that go, it's a great album
SonnyPunk
04/15/04, 09:56 AM
I think you can add almost any Death Cab for Cutie album to this list. For each one I start out only finding a few songs I like...but after many spins I discover how great each album is.

04/15/04, 10:18 AM
Yeah I agree with Death Cab, and also the Postal Service

I didn't like Mae- Destination: Beautiful much at first but now I love it

I really hated the Randy Savage CD, but now I love it. No lie.
Throwback
04/15/04, 12:22 PM
Word to whoever said Death Cab. I love those records.

For me its Alkaline Trio - Good Mourning. I got it last June and only within the last two months have I come to love it. Yea, I know. Actually, I've done that with every Alk3 record I buy.

Also, Bayside as well and, um, don't hate me but....

Senses Fail - Let It Enfold You

I actually like it a lot and I hated their ep.

04/15/04, 12:35 PM
Senses Fail suck!

Randy Savage rocks!

hated fall out boy- take this to your grave for a month...then loved it for 2 weeks...now its mild. saosin - translate the name. at first i didnt hate it, but it was nothing special. it then became my favorite EP of last year. me and bayside, i actually turned out to love sirens the first listen. plain white t's - stop. i dont know, there's a lot out there... what a better forum would be is naming albums we anticipated that ended up sucking (ex. incubus - a crow left of the murder, lost prophets - fake sound, get up kids - guilt show) but its still early, guilt show will grow on me

fall out boy - take this to your grave, first listen just though ehhh its ok, but now its one of my most played cd's right now i love it

Postal Service - Such great heights: I'm a big deathcab fan, but when i first listened to it i thought it was ok but it has grown on my a little since then.

Further Seems Forever - How to start a fire, i love the moon is down and thought how to start a fire was just alright, but now i think its really good

Mae - Destination Beautiful, first listen thought it was alright, couple weeks later put it back in and thought it was fucking good

Thrice - The Illusion of saftey

I really liked the first half of the album at first...but it took me forever to get into the entire thing. I started playing it when I lift weights and it pumped me up

Same thing with me. Except I don't lift weights (its depressing how skinny/weak I am so I became emo where that kind is accepted).

The Art of Drowning- This is when I was first getting on the scene and his voice sounded strange to me. Now I love it

04/17/04, 11:03 AM
oh he reminded me. taking back sunday - tell all your friends. that cd was nothing special to me when i bought it... then it turned into my favorite record of all time, and i listened to it 2-3 times a day for over a year straight. but now, im quite sick of it. needless to say, i cant wait for their new cd

04/17/04, 03:02 PM
FSF- How to Start a Fire..I think just because I loved Moon is Down so much and HTSAF was a bit different

Deja Entendu and Leaving Through the Window

Deja Entendu is like an extended Bible now. When I need some guidance about friends or whatever it's there. And I couldn't like Leaving Through the Window until AFTER I loved North, now ... I hate to say it I listen to Leaving Through the Window and I'm all, OH SoCo was SOOO cute back in the day.

I love that cd's transitions and just its overall message...so good

Anyways, I can remember not liking, Alkaline Trio-Maybe I'll Catch Fire-which is now my favorite cd by them and one of my favorite cds of all time.

Falloutboy - the first listen was okay....but my ears quickly adjusted to discover the greatness which is "Take This To Your Grave."

Taking Back Sunday - for like four months the only songs I could listen to were "Cute With The E" and "Timberwolves At New Jersey." It grew on me eventually. Play it everyday now

I love that cd's transitions and just its overall message...so goodI love how it introduces that string quartet piece during the intro at the beginning of the CD, and then it comes back again at the very end of the CD during "Infection". It ties the beginning and the end together in such a way that is genius. It has a very cinematic feeling because it reminds me of the way a movie score composer will reprise one of the main themes in order to emphasize part of a movie. It's so beautiful. It makes me think "Ohhhhh... I understand..." even though I'm not really sure what it is that I understand.

"Is love an infection, or is it a sick addiction?"
