Break in period for albums.?


okay, I've been a big B-52's for a long time, my favorite album being Good Stuff.

I bought Funplex when it came out on vinyl. it came with a CD as well.

the first two times I sat down to listen to it I couldn't listen to the whole album. I got bored and put on another album.

So I popped in the CD and played it for back ground music as I was cleaning the house. after listening to it as background music I found I really enjoy the album. how can sit down and listen to it all the way through enjoying it.

I've noticed this for a few other albums as well. I might not like them when I first sit down to listen but after letting them play as back ground music I will sit down and really enjoy the music.

Anyone else out there have this experience?

inquiring minds would like to know. Thank you.

Although not related to vinyl, that is a fairly common occurrence for me. Some of my favorite albums were very so so with the first few listenings. Then over time as I was drawn into the music and what the artist was saying/doing I understood and could appreciate the album. There are probably quite a few cds sitting on my shelf that if I put away after one listen. If I spent some time with they would probably show themselves as real jewels.
