I like to give an album a few listens before I judge it, if it's a little hard to get into then I'll throw it on in the background while I'm browsing the internet and let it soak into my subconscious. After a while certain songs or even just hooks will stand out and I listen to them specifically and let my appreciation spread from there.
But if after 3 or 4 listens nothing has appealed to me then I'll delete it. generally even if an album is a grower I'll recognise the quality, even if I don't exactly feel compelled to listen. I can always re-download stuff if I want to give it another shot.
