Yes the first two and Relayer had grow on me, Tales has yet to grow, but Paul played part of it in plug and I liked what I heard. Some albums grow faster than others, some burn out, and other I think are epic right off the bat.
Tales from Topographic Oceans is a fine example of an album that I didn't really get at first, but I knew that there was something really great and attention demanding so I gave it a few spins and really attentively immersed myself in it, and while I wont say it's one of my favorite albums, my opinion of it improved drastically from the first initial listen. Relayer to a lesser extent was the same way.
