 Topic: Now I like/love that X now i hate that !
Posted: July 27 2005 at 14:38 |
I guess that many prog rock listeners has that experience. iam
listening some album, and i think to myself, what a terrible album,
boring to me etc. And after few months, thats great !
for example me:
Yes - Relayer, i was confused (mainly gates of delirum), what the hell is that, my head oh :)
and after 2 months i love that !
another example: i was listening to genesis always 2 years ago, but
lamb was (whole album) hard to accept, and after some months, its the
best genesis album imho. So i guess some albums must mature inside you.
Older listeners have surely some example: and after 20 years I love
that ! or after 20 years i hate that ! etc. etc.
please tell me your experience with that, i am quite curious thx
sorry if that has been posted already....

That's the thing with alot of Prog you really need repeated listenings before it pays off, I used to hate the Pink Floyd Album 'Animals', and now its one of my favourites, when I started listening to it properly I realised just how bloody good it was.
My best mate [who is not a progger... yet ;)] hated Dark Side Of The Moon for years, now he plays it all the time, since taking up guitar [and he's good] he realised the amount of skill and suchlike involved, and likes the album.
Prog requires an active listener, Pop does not.
I'll let you decide who gets the better deal.

Really nice example, very interesting, even famous Dark Side Of The Moon can have such turn.
Anyway sometimes we should listen prog enough, because there is
possibility "that album is boring" because you have listened that only
once. Of course if iam listening an album 20x, it is objective already :)

A more obscure example, but very very current! in the last half an hour
I've just realised that I did NOT give Discus, an Indonesian avant-prog
band, a fair crack of the whip. I listened to their imaginatively
titled debut album (First) a
few months ago and wasn't very impressed. I'm giving it another spin
now and I just don't know what I was thinking! It's superb!

Awake by dream theater is probably the album I've had to listen to the
most in order for it to be really great. I hated it when it came out, I
had so high expectations, and it sounded pretty dull. Then it gradually
got better, but very slowly. It wasn't until I knew ALL the tracks in
my head that the album opened, and the harvest was ready to reap.

I am slowly starting to appreciate Porcupine Tree, now that I have heard Deadwing and Warsawa....it's taken a long time...
....but hearing these has helped me appreciate Signify and Coma Divine more, which I had previously owned.

It's not that I don't like them, I guess, I just used to listen to them almost exclusively, but now my tastes are far more varied thanks to PA

That's funny, Titan, I had exactly the same experience with Relayer!
Dark Side Of The Moon - that one has been mentioed too - was another one. I really couldn't understand why people would love that record. It sounded a bit dull at first. A friend of mine thought the same. Now we both like the record a lot!
Kansas - Two For The Show - ditto. Borrowed it from one of my neighbours, and I listened to it a lot, before it did something with me.
Gentle Giant - Octopus: I didn't like it at all in the beginning. Nowadays I consider it as one of the best records EVER made!

Almost all Gentle Giant music (now love most that I've heard,intially I was underwelmed)
IQ - The Wake (initially wrote them off as bad 'Genesis clones',but couldn't stop playing the thing once I got past 2 or 3 listens)

Ehi guys, strange but true, same experience with RELAYER!
What a powerful disc, but i accepted it only after a few listening. IMHO, you have to UNDERSTAND what the album is saying to you! It has a lot to communicate!
Hey titan great topic!

Genesis was my biggest turn around. Most notably Foxtrot. I couldn't
stand anything that I heard from them and thought their music was a
joke! Now...I just love 'em. I got a chance to actually listen to and
appreciate their fine music and now they remain in my top list of prog
acts.
I used to laugh at Supper's Ready and now...I weep in its beauty.

It was really hard for me to get into post rock in general, but now I absolutely love it.
