Albums that get better...

Recommended Posts

Guest Si82

I was wondering what albums you guys thought get better with everY listen. I would have to say "Automatic For The People" by R.E.M. and "Is This It" by The Strokes. I didn't really like that album at first but it really has grown on me as time goes by. I'm going to go listen to it.

Definitely agree with Mushroomhead

 

When I bought it I didnt know what to expect...and it took me a week or two for the music to really get in with me, now I love it!

OMG someone here besides me likes Dream Theater?!?!?!

 

Any band that can play one song for 45 minutes is amazing.

The only album that seems to get better every time I hear it is Alice In Chian's Dirt.

I like some Dream Theater...haven't heard a lot of it.

 

And I'll nominate Iron Maiden's "The X-Factor". It doesn't sound as good as Maiden's other stuff on first listen (Probably because of Bayley - He takes a little getting used to when you're used to Bruce) but it's grown on me to the point that it's one of my favourite albums by anyone.

White Blood Cells--The White Stripes

Anything by Radiohead

Third Eye Blind--Third Eye Blind

 

And props to the person who mentioned ...Trail of Dead earlier in the thread. I absolutely love half of the songs on "Source Tags & Codes." The other half I just find decent, but the good stuff makes the album worth it!

i have a hard time thinking of albums i love that DON'T get better with familiarity. very seldom will i love an album from the very first listen. most times i listened to beatles albums the first time, i'd fall asleep. they'd take weeks to get used to. same with hendrix, the pixies, and especially ween.

I don't think I've ever really liked an album the first time I heard it. I usually get an idea that I'll eventually like it, but there have been times when I absolutely don't get an album until I've heard it five or six times. Case in point: Elvis Costello's Get Happy!. I thought it basically sounded like the same song over and over again. It's gone on to be my absolute favorite Costello album, bar none.

 

As far as the actual topic...the last two Wilco albums have yet to get old to me.
