There are times when you put time and effort into trying to "get" and album, and when you finally do, it feels like you've accomplished something. Then there are the times when you put on an album you'd previously "not gotten", but this time it just makes sense for whatever reason, and instead of feeling like you've accomplished something, you feel like hitting yourself in the kneecaps with a hammer for not getting it earlier. This is one of the latter times. Seriously, I didn't like Jesus and the Mary Chain?
