I remember hating Godspeed the first few times, but something kept me coming back. And then eventually it hit me. Hard. And now i love em.

Im still trying to like Dummy. Its an album Ive always thought id really like but for whatever reason i dont. But it has that intangible and undefinable *quality* that keeps me coming back to it every once and a while. One day..

And then there are albums that ill like originally but theyll become more stale as time goes by. I will rarely hate something i used to like but might become indifferent to the point where i wont listen to it anymore. Focus by Cynic is one of those for me although maybe itll come back to me if i hold off listening to it for a long while.

Music is a very crazy thing eh
Are we the same person?! Seriously, I had the exact same thing happen with G!YBE. Didn't get the fuss at first, now I love them. And the same way about Dummy. Considering the type of music I usually like, I should totally love Dummy, and it seems like a low of people really love that album, but I just... don't. I've listened to it a few times, and it's not that I disliked it or anything, it was just... meh. But then there's that quality that it has that makes me WANT to really love it.

EDIT: just realized you probably meant Godspeed the metal band, not Godspeed You! Black Emperor. Oh well, I'm leaving it because G!YBE is relevant to the discussion.
