i'm sure this has happened to all of you. you buy a record, play it once, and think "gee, this sucks."

but then you listen to it again and you're all like "wow, this rocks".

for me, it is the following:

1. grace - jeff buckley. yeah, don't ask me what i was thinking when i first listened to this record.
2. figure 8 - elliott smith. i just wasn't ready for this style of music when i bought it. now i love it.
3. endserenading - mineral. this time, i actually had the bass on my CD player way out of wack so i couldn't hear anything properly. listening to it with correct levels changed everything.

1. Spice - Spice Girls

I definitely had to listen to Grace a few times, as well.

I bought the Coheed and Cambria album, mainly for Delerium Trigger, and every other song is quite different.

But I'm starting to dig it.

endy i highly recommend mineral for you. you can't call yourself an emo fan unless you own one of their two records.

I've been plannig on picking that up for a while.... i need to get to HMV

"Pablo Honey" by Radiohead. I hated it when I first bought it, and just listened to Creep. After about a year, I started getting into the other songs, and it's truly amazing.

Full Collapse by Thursday did nothing for me when I first got it. Now it blows me away, especially Paris In Flames.

Something to Write Home About by The Get Up Kids was only good for one song (I'll Catch You) and now it's pretty damn solid the entire way through.

I guess you tolerate good music as you mature and understand what it's about.

alan i never realized you changed your name

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

matthew good band - the audio of being

i can't believe i ever disliked it.

Hah yeah, I changed it to start some shamelessly cheap promotion of the new Alkaline Trio cd, coming out May 13. I highly recommend you all buy it.

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.

You can get it 12 days before your birthday. This record store releases cds a day early to the public to bring business in. So yeah, you should go to that store, it's a cd a day early. I can't complain.

Chantal Kreviazuk's lastest cd - What If It All Means Something .. did not like it all .. after a few days and forcing myself to listen to it the whole way through a couple of times it's starting to grow on me and I love most of the songs now

What store is that!?

well... erm.... spiritual machines. im ashamed to say it, but i didnt like it when i got it. at all. so i put it away for a few months and forgot about it. then i pulled it out. and i loved it. . please dont hurt me.

also, eminem- the marshal mathers LP. i think i was just too young to appreciate it, lol.

avril lavigne- let go.i despised it... i think just because i didn't want to like her because everyone loved her. and then my friend put it on while i was there... and it was so good, i went out and bought it.

I loved Avril's cd right away .. once you get past the stereotypes and the 'image' that people try to throw at you to make you not like her you realize she's not bad

Shakira-Laundry Service... When i first got it i was like eh? but now its one of my favorite albums

It's a place called Hot Hits in Roseville. It's kind of a hole in the wall place, but they always give me free stuff. I get 10% off all their cds, they give me free posters and stickers, and they always buy stuff off of me. I love that place.
