The second half is kind of like all of Daydream Nation for me. It took me a really long time to get into that album. I was always confused why everyone thought it was so good until one day it clicked.

I love it when that happens, you're listening to an album you don't get, but why? I think it's because deep down you're drawn to the music, even if you don't know why. And the day something clicks with an album is just brilliant. The day I clicked with Loveless was a fine day indeed.
I'm hoping I'll keep growing in to Sonic Youth, They aren't the most accessible band, I think it's cos of the singing or the lack of, sometimes it's just talking, which can be a bit irritating. I have an OCD of people delivered good lyrics in a good way.. But sometimes if the music is THAT good, I can be lenient to the singing after a while of getting used to it.
