I don't think anybody can accurately rate an album based on only one listen. It usually takes me about two to three listens to form a proper opinion on an album. Some of my favourite albums I wouldn't have rated as highly on first listen as I do now.

People rating albums based on first listen is one thing which has put me off giving albums numerical ratings or rating them based on some scale. I don't want to forever define an album by a number out of ten or whatever as my opinion on the album could more than likely change for better or worse.
