Albums it took you many listens to "get"

Vhaldemar - I Made My Own Hell (2003): I originally found the vocals of Carlos Escudero an acquired taste. I loved the music though, and kept coming back every month or two to play the album on YouTube. Then the video got taken down and I just had to buy the CD - which I did, in 2015. More recently I purchased Vhaldemar - Against All Kings (2017).

Iron Mask - Hordes Of The Brave (2005): My experience with this one parallels that of the album above. I discovered this on YouTube a decade after it was released. After repeated plays, sometimes separated by weeks, I bought the CD in 2015. And I also bought a later release by the same band, i.e., Iron Mask - Black as Death (2011).

LionSoul - Welcome Storm (2017): As I previously noted, this album was a grower for me. I initially found the second half of the album (tracks 6-10) more impressive than the first half. I kept coming back to this album, but it took several complete listens before I committed to a purchase.

Nevermind - Nirvana. God, how I hated Nirvana the first few times i heard Teen Spirit. "Mumblevana". Had the radio on, I was in the other room so I couldn't change it. Forced to listen again, I caught on.

Goat's Head Soup - Stones. Thought it was inferior the first few times I heard it. It's not quite as good as the four preceding albums, but it's no Dirty Work wither. I'd rank it ahead of Emotional Rescue

One of the more stereotypical ones--Captain Beefheart's Trout Mask Replica.

Took periodic tries over at least a decade before it really clicked with me.

Yeah for me too. The only song I really liked was I Wanna Be Adored, but after a few listens I liked most of the songs. Still think IWBA is the only really great song on the album though.
