Sometimes a new album makes an instant impact on me, but that's only very rarely. Most of the time I download it, listen to it once or twice end-to-end, think 'oh, that's a good album', spend a few days listening to my favourites and leaving the new album alone, then get back to it and appreciate it even more.
Another way is to put on a new album while playing online pool, tetris or whatever. Helps to get into new music if you do that for some reason or other.
