From what I know, and which is known by many others, that there are scales. When following a scale of consonant notes and than we hear a note from out of the scale, our ear feels a sort of discomfort. Even in classical music there was "forbidden notes" that even if made on purpose will be considered as false notes. (Always the Avant-guards disobeyed these whole rules, until some felt acceptable)
Now after listening to many dissonant albums, I don't notice the dissonance anymore. I remember feeling some parts in songs as "wrong" but now I forgot what parts I am talking about. But when hearing consonant album I can always predict how the song goes. Sometimes I don't get bothered by it, the melody would be great (that's enough for me) , but in other times it just gets ridiculous.
Sorry couldn't think of any examples... maybe later.
