You may want to try Fold Your Hands Child, you walk like a Peasant.
Who knows

Well, I'll just take that recommendation then!

I do sometimes find that I purchase an album because I thought it was great upon first listen, and later I find myself wondering what it was I saw in it.

Ie: Asobi Seksu's Citrus right now.

Also, if I don't listen to an album as soon as I purchase it, it just sits around and collects dust, as I lose the inclination to listen to it.

Asobi Seksu are very odd that way...I got Citrus and I listened to about 3 songs off it quite a lot for a while, but I eventually couldn't really get into the rest of it.
Hush is even worse for me, it went completely over my head.

I think what it comes down to is I find her voice irritating in long doses.

All I need to get me interested is something small like a hook, or if it makes me wonder if I like it or not. I need just a little something to get me interested on first listen no matter how small it may be. Just so that I have something to return to at a later date.

If I listen to something first and just feel total disinterest then I don't bother with it.
I tend to find myself revisiting more albums I hated on first listen a lot more often than albums I found dull on first listen.

I'm exactly the same way.

To be honest I'd rather listen to an album that's spectacularly bad than something boring.

That's probably why I own a Pretty Boy Floyd album and nothing by Coldplay.

I like the idea of "hooks" for grabbing your attention. A good song/album will often able to click with you immediately.
I liked the idea so much I made a thread on it...

And I can't think of a single Coldplay record that does that, to be honest. And I own their entire discography (how I hate them).
