Even if I did eventually end up loving it I will probably have missed out on the opportunity to discover two or three albums I love instead.

Well, why not? I don't think it's always necessary to devour music like a bowl full of M&Ms. Sometimes the slow route is more fulfilling. I love the fact that there's so much music so easily available these days, but I do think a real downside to that is that people blow through music too quickly at times.

That is correct, and I certainly take time with albums I like, what I am talking about are albums that people don't like much but force themselves to endure repeated listens.

My main issue was the first point I brought up to be honest.

Everyone is different of course.

That's exactly how I feel. I have to listen to an album over and over to really decide whether I like it. There is the occasional album that speaks to me straight away but mainly the other way.

I pretty much agree with you Janszoon. I love taking my time listening to my new albums before moving on. If I get bored though, I will move on. How many listens do you usually give your new albums Janz?
