Neapolitan

When I hear a familiar album in the right mood and enough time to listen to it without being distracted is sometimes better than the first-listen. Sometimes it takes a while to grow on you to become a favorite. I have read some review where a writer said he wish he could go back and here an album for the first time, all over again. However for me I can't recall a first-listen any more memorable to hearing favorite album haven't heard in a while (no matter how many times I've heard it before). There is this certain rush one gets by familiarizing oneself with an favorite album it's all .

On the other hand with the first time listening to an album there that excitement you get when hear a new song you know is going to be great right from the start. A first-listen also has unsuspected twists and turns you don't know will happen during the song. That is just a general over-view. I can't recall too many albums I heard first time.

I would rather have a smaller collection to listen, then hearing many albums once. I usually don't "consume" as many as most people here do. *cough* Trollheart *cough* Sometimes I play them over and over, sometimes two or three times and not go back, so my memories of a first time listen are lost in the midst of repeat listenings.
