I know just what you mean by that. I expected a lot more myself. I think the reason for that was the hype from the reviews. I'd got so worked up, expecting something so great. As it turned out, it's a marvellous record, but it's not really what I'd call addictive. I don't wake up in the morning and think damn, I have GOT to listen to that at some point today. On the contrary, it felt more like I HAD to listen to it, just because it deserved it. Not because I found myself deriving much higher pleasure from it.
Animal Collective, Strawberry Jam - that one did a LOT more for me.
