albums that took you forever to appreciate

10000 days - Tool

the first spinning i was mehhhh, and 5 years later i put it and then everything started to make sense

[DarkAxel]

The Hunter by Mastodon
pre-Signify Porcupine Tree
anything by GY!BE (they were hard to get into for me as a whole)

[Achtane]

anything by GY!BE (they were hard to get into for me as a whole)

Agreed.
While I can appreciate them...personally, I still think it's boring to listen to. In person it'd probably be cool, but if I'm in the mood for that kinda music I'd rather listen to someone else.

dark side of the moon. someone showed me pink floyd in high school when I was into rap and it just didn't make sense to me at the time

[GardenoftheDead]

Coheed and Cambria probably took me 2 or so years to get into. They're now one of my favorite bands.

I still don't get Slowdive or Ride, but I finally did get into Swervedriver.

Anything by Pink Floyd. I try every few years but still don't "get" it. Someday I'll finally come around.

Yup, same. I would also add Explosions to this list.



Also with Pink Floyd - never got them (I hated them, honestly) in high school, but years later I saw a couple friends do an acoustic cover of "Echoes" I was hooked on Meddle for months. Then Animals, and then everything else. So good.

[Lemyisgod]

Misfits - Walk among us

Hated this band my whole life. Was always into punk and hardcore but just hated this band with a passion. Then one night of debauchery way later in life made this album and then the band just click.

once i got into it, i love it, but it was hard to get to that point

gy!be - pretty much what Achtane said
Tool - in general
Pink Floyd - appreciate it but sth like gy!be
65daysofstatic

think that's it

[Derelict78]

Skinny Puppy
I bought
Ain't it Dead Yet? and on first listen was like WTF is this noise shit!?
years later I put it on again and it clicked (in fact all their albums have taken multiple listens for me to get into) and I have been hooked ever since

I would also like to add Mr. Bungle to my list.

I had a friend I really respect keep telling me I would love it, even when I kept listening and I didn't, so I went on trying. Eventually it clicked and I thank him mightily for it!

[Chankgeez]

I'm still thinking about this and can't come up with anything. I'll get back to you.
