hmm i usually only buy cds after listening to downloads but i would say

blindside- silence only grew on me after seeing them live
Bright Eyes also took a little getting used to



I love the new blindside.. i hated Blindside in general before Silence though, but now im starting to get a taste for them. Anything by the Smashing Pumkins is slowly but surely starting to grow on me. I decided i'd give them another chance after listening to Zwan.. and im glad i did.


i loved silence right away at first but now i never listen to it anymore, it kinda bores me. i like their old stuff a lot though.

I bought the Never Been Kissed soundtrack when it came out and I thought it sucked... Then I saw the movie again recently (I'm older and my tastes have changed) and I'm now frantic looking around the house for that goddamn CD. There's some good songs on there.

Hm... that would be cool.... if I knew where Roseville was... and had a car.. I don't think my parents would want to drive me out to a cd store when they could just take me to GLC. Unless I could get my brother to drive...

Must say Spiritual Machines (I was a newbie when I got it!! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!) and Gravity of course, whose power over me continues to grow.

And

Eels - Electro-Shock Blues (Originally found it "depressing")
Cibo Matto - Stereo*Type A ("too foreign")
Cake - Fashion Nugget ("weird")

Naveed :oops:

I really started to get into OLP after the release of SM. I loved everything i had heard before it but, i had never really heard anything from Naveed. I'm one of those fans who progressed backwards rather than forwards. I loved every other OLP album up to Naveed.. it took me a lot of forced listens to like it.

I guess I can be heaped into this pile of OLP fans that first found Happiness and Machines, and progressed to like Clumsy, and now finally, the beauty of Naveed. Its a bit raw in parts and they improved some of their hooks over time, but it just kicks ass and I love the instruments and production alot more than the banal Gravity..........which I love anyways despite its deficiencies.

oh man. i remember my friend had happiness and i was over at his house. i popped that sucker in and listened to the first four tracks through headphones. i was in heaven.

Jeez, if I don't like a cd within the first few days of buying it, I'm done with it forever.

There have been a few dislikes I bought for a reason none other then "for something to buy"
-Creed - Human Clay :neutral:
-Ben Folds Five - To heaven and Amen (or something) :uh:
-Life house - Stanley Climbfall :(
-Radiohead - The Bends ( I know I may be upsetting and confusing some people, but this cd was not memorable enough like Ok computer)
-Weezer - The Green album TOO SHORT (28:00) TOO BORING.
-Outkast - Stankonia ( :freak:


JEez, there are a few more...like the MIB soundtrack and "simpsons sing the blues"

Young and naive. :mad:

I hated Incubus, Make Yourself. I found it a few weeks ago and have been rocking out ever since. The cd that I probably hated the most was Gravity. I remember buying it the first day it came out and going home and listening to it and being on the verge of tears. I'd been looking foreward to it for months, and heard constant criticizm on the cm. I figured it couldn't be as bad as everyone said it was. I hated Innocent sooo much, and the only song I really liked was bbts. But then, two days later, I went to the mall and was treated with a great show. So it all works out, and I don't hate it anymore.

I still think they can do better, but I'm not going to start this discussion again.
