I can completely see where you're coming from, while I don't mind the album I think it receives a lot more hype (especially on this forum) than it deserves. But yeah, have to agree that the album art is pretty awesome though.

Just out of interest did you give it 5 listens because it was hyped to fuck and you thought there was something wrong with you if you don't like it or is that the usual time you give an album before deciding it wasn't for you?

Not that I mean to sound like i'm getting at you at all, i'm just curious thats all.

it was a combination of sounding like an album i may actually end up liking and the hype it received. most of the time i can tell on first listen whether or not an album will grow on me...i think it is this and a handful of other albums where i was truly hoping it would click and it just didn't.

maybe one day it will...but for now...i'm done

I downloaded that too and it's just not my thing. I'm still trying to figure out my music tastes but they don't make any sense. I'm listening to some gorgeous Progressive House.. kind of in the mood for some smooth jazz.. but may end up listening to ...'s Somebody Save Me E.P. which is Depressive Black Metal. I wonder if I have musical bipolar disorder
