Albums that HAD to grow on you for you to like them?

Spiderland (1991) by Slint took a number of listens for me to really start to enjoy, but eventually I hit a break through with it in the car one day and now I love it.

I wasn't too fond of The Money Store by Death Grips at first, but for some reason I kept digging and started to liek it until I became a fan. Odd.

Sea Change by Beck took me A LONG time to fully appreciate, but wow. What a great album.

Agree with that. I wasn't getting it at all until about the third time. But to be honest, I still only sort of like it now.

I think finally GETTING an album has gotta be one of the best feelings ever,

It took me a number of listens to get into Carissa's Wierd - Songs About Leaving. The first few times I listened to it I thought it was nice but nothing too remarkable. I left it for a while but decided to revisit it one day and it started to click with me. After that I had the album on very heavy rotation, capturing the despairing mood of every song. It was a glorious feeling.

Some albums just require you to have the patience to really get to the core of the music and get the most out of it.

The Fall finally clicked with me

and that's not through their acclaimed albums or pop songs

it was through the 6-disc Complete Peel Sessions

Damn right. Pretty much every song on the Peel Sessions is better than the album version in my opinion.

Was already a fan through the albums though to be fair.
