how do YOU go about appreciating difficult music?

Generally I'll sit back and really try to piece an album together, rather than treat it like songs to enjoy. Then once I get what it's saying I dissect instrumentation and how they convey what's being said, including vocals and even lyrics as instrumentation. Once I appreciate that, for whatever reason it sounds better to me. Of course stuff can also just sound cool, but I'm talking about, like, the Mount Eerie album or something, where it's infinitely better than its already cool self once you completely understand.

I also have to be edgy and revolutionary.
