Amen to that. I find it so much more rewarding when I can slowly notice the subtleties/intricacies/suppleness/whatever that didn't initially stick out to me in an album. It's such a great payoff. I recently found myself explaining to a friend who's more of a fan of rap/mainstream pop music why I like "weird" music. The crux of my explanation was comparing the slow enjoyment I get out of listening to an album to the enjoyment I get out of reading a book. It's slow, and it takes some time to manifest. I'm still not sure if that's an accurate or shitty explanation, but it was my gut reaction to his question.I also recognise that most albums worth discussing are not the kind that grab you by the collar at the first listen
