There has to be some impetus to revisit an album in the first place. Unless I absolutely despise the sound, or I know that the style of music doesn't align with my tastes, I'll usually at least give the first 3-4 tracks a go and decide whether or not I'll come back to it. I think some albums have a degree of depth and complexity that isn't appreciable on first listen, sometimes other albums require more active, attentive listening, which at the time may not be possible, and sometimes, like crazed mentioned, my mood is just not right for that style of music. Some albums just simply do become better through familiarity though.
