Albums that are so good that...

The first thing happened to me with Close to the Edge when I first bought it, but it turns out it has never grown old on me even though I broke my rule of only listening a couple of times a week or something geeky like that.

The second thing did happen to me a bunch of times though (I mean loosing interest in an album I thought was amazing at first). First it happened with Dream Theater's Scenes from a Memory, then with Angra's Rebirth, then with In the Court of the Crimson King and a bunch of others. One funny thing that happened was that I lost interest in Brave by Marillion but then I regained interest in it and still love it.

I got the exact same thing with wish you were here from pink floyd...

its really boring to listen to it now ... though it was so amazing still a little while ago

gues i just listened to it to much

When I grew up in the 70s I had a phase in which I nearly got mad listening to BJH, Supertramp, Alan Parsons Project, Pink Floyd ( yes, me... ) all the time and I needed some distance so I can develop my own style, so in the 80s I concentrated on anything else comin' along and making me feel good, I even bought albums because they had good reviews ( and some because they were chartbreakers and had quite interesting covers/titles ! ) and forced myself to NOT listen to "Prog" for a while. It worked... I developed my own style as a singer/songwriter and I don't copy anyone, but hey, what I'm doing IS NOT prog whilest since long I allowed myself to get back to anything I ever loved and listen to it as often as I like again...

I'm just thinkin'... is there REALLY an album I love but got enough of cause i played it too often ?

Well... there were times I didn't wanna hear any of Cat Stevens' familiar tunes but later on my love became even greater and I don't think that this example is what you asked for...( No prog ) but to let you know:

I DISLIKE "Dark Side of the Moon" and if there weren't "Money" on it i'd like to stamp it "Most overrated Prog-Album of all time"... but I never really liked it so that's something different, too ( SORRY to all PF-Fans... It's great to you, I know, please forgive me ! ).

In general it's just "phases" in which I've got enough of one album or artist I usually like, the longer the pause the greater the pleasure when it's over and I'm puttin' it on again !
