Yeah, you're completely right to stick to your guns, wouldn't expect you to change your opinion. It's just that your review in particular, coupled with other comments of admiration for the album around here ("Might make my AOTY" etc) convinced me I was going to really enjoy it, and I did enjoy it, but no more than any other album of its type I've listened to this year. Thought I might be missing out on something, but now I don't think so.
Also, as far as it being a grower, well, to impress me as I had expected to be it would have had to have done that from the first listen, so while I may appreciate it more (or not) if I give it repeated listenings (which most here will tell you is unlikely I will do anyway, given my workload) it has missed its chance to hit me with the "wow factor". You only get one chance to do that.
