Happened to me with "Scarsick" by POS today! The first time I tried I only made it through the first few songs, but after going back through TPE and getting more accustomed to their sound, I tried it again and liked it! I wouldn't say it clicked straight away but after a few more listens it should be great! :)

I call that the Meshuggah effect. The most memorable time an album clicked for me was Chaosphere; the first time I listened to it I really didn't get it at all. I came back to it like a year later and I could practically hear the click in my head as what they were doing came together in my head. Therefore, it's the Meshuggah effect.  :biggrin:

Got that twice recently, The Alchemy Index & In Rainbows. It does feel good.

It's a really good feeling.

The best thing is an instantaneous click though, like - the moment you put on an album the first time and you're like "holy crap that was amazing" - and you walk away after listening to the album 100% blown away.

That doesn't look like a smile so much as it looks like a promise of rape.

Albums have been clicking very quickly, recently. It's been a really long time since I've had that feeling.

I think the last one has to have been Devin Townsend's Infinity, and that was a good 3 months ago.

Usually an album either clicks with me right away or it doesn't.  The only time I consider something a grower is if it's part of a genre I'm unfamiliar with.  For example, I used to hate death metal, so I really wasn't impressed with Ghost Reveries.  But now I consider it the best album ever.

Colors by BTBAM took the longest. I must of played it about 20 times in the background whilst I was playing WoW, then one day I listened to it by itself and I was all like

Fixed for me.  But it was well worth the time.

ALL albums are growers for me, I don't know why. Even by favorite bands, each album needs multiple spins before I "get it". Don't know why.

I'm the same too. I don't think an album has ever clicked for me on the first listen.

More often than with whole albums I have this with songs. It's not unusual for me that my list of favourite/least favourite songs on the album turns by 180 degrees after 10 listens or so. Or there's one "THIS IS AWESOME" song that I love since the first listen but the rest changes all the time.

Love the feeling.

Interesting enough, the albums I really love the most are the albums that took several spins before clicking, some of them didn't really interest me at all the first 4-5 times, but started to grow a lot after that.
On the contrary, albums that DO click on the first time, are often the albums that becomes worse and worse with each listen.  :lol

This is the case a lot of the time, but there are exceptions to every rule (Deconstruction).

Yeah, I can't agree with that at all. A ton of my favorite albums I've loved from the first listen.

I like it when I have to relisten an album a couple of times before it 'clicks' (whatever you want to say by that anyway), makes me enjoy the music more.
