When I get a load of new albums I'll generally listen to them all once at first. After a few days or perhaps a week I'll return for a second listen. I feel this is good if I don't really like an album immediately on first listen. I've found that on second listen I see things in a new light, so often I'll prefer then(an example for me would be Tarkus by ELP). Or it could easily just reinforce my initial feelings that the album is crap, but I try not to buy too many albums I don't think I'll like in the first place anyway.
