It took me a while to get into both Pull Me Under and Take the Time. And now I'm finally starting to appreciate Learning to Live.

I didn't like "Scarred" and "Lines in the Sand" at first. Now they've grown on me.   :metal

To me, there's a difference between going a while without understanding a song (as was the case with 8VM and ACOS, because I was still new to songs like that) and straight up not liking a song.

With that said, songs I didn't like and now do are

Lines in the Sand
Under a Glass Moon
Voices
Lifting Shadows Off a Dream

The live shows I've seen improved my opinion on many songs. A few notables are Innocence Faded, Peruvian Skies, and Scarred.

Setra, I think that is the best statement I have read on this forum.  Very well said.

I started listening to DT at age 7, so this list is going to be a little long.

Surrounded
The Silent Man
Hollow Years
Anna Lee
Take Away My Pain
Through my words
Through Her eyes 
SDOIT disk 2 (I didn't quite get it at first, but on the 4 listen it clicked quite nicely)

It was a very young, impatient and immature version of myself that didn't like these songs at the time, but I absolutely love them now and have loved them for at least the past 10 years.

Update to my above post

It took me ages to get into Scarred. I can remember listening to it and basically being a bit confused by its structure, so it never really did anything for me. Now it's probably my favourite off Awake.

I was really disappointed when I first listened to The Glass Prison. Now it's one of my favorite songs.  :metal

I was all about SFAM and Awake I was so hyped on those two albums but no longer anymore.

There's honestly too many to list but I'm going with the entire Falling into Infinity album. I disliked almost all the songs and refused to give it listens. Its sooooo much better than what I gave it credit for.

I didn't like Octavarium (the song; the rest of the album clicked immediately) at first, now it's in my top 5. And I can pretty much say the same thing for the whole prog side of DT, then I finally was able to appreciate it for it's epicness about a month or two after first discovering the band.

All of SFAM. When I was introduced to it I was listening to lots of Metal so I didn't quite get it. Luckily my musical taste improved and now I can't get enough of the album

All of Awake. Nothing really caught me at first, it took a few listens before it all sunk in.
same here, and since it was the first DT album i listened to, it prevented me to becoming a fan for a few years, now i really love it :heart :metal

Octavarium... I remember thinking upon the first listen "it's good, but it's no Change of Seasons".  Now, it's my fave DT song.  I'll also echo the sentiments on Awake.  I liked Scarred and Lifting Shadows, but the rest of the disc took a while.  Same with The Glass Prison.  I just wasn't ready for that much metal from DT at the time.

Used to skip "Lie"....could not get into that song untill I saw a youtube video of it live. Then it just clicked with me and it became one of my all-time favorite DT songs.

At least Lines in the Sand. I used to think that it's a complete mess and I just couldn't get into it. Then I realized how stupid I had been. It's easily a top 10 DT song.
