That said, I really find that the "I hated [x album] the first 999 times I listened to it, but I absolutely loved it on the 1000th listen." idea almost never applies to me. Hit your hand a thousand times with a hammer and yeah it will eventually stop hurting, but you'll have seriously fucked your hand up. If an album gets a 2.5 or less from me on a first listen, I find that on subsequent re-listens my score actually goes down. Such an occurance happened with Gorguts' Obscura in my case.

I get what you're trying to say, but that analogy is a little extreme. For one, there is no one out there claiming that hitting your hand with a hammer is awesome and that everyone should love it, and as such there would be no potential upside to doing so. And what if the hammer looks like this?
I agree with you on internet radio though. I can't remember the last time I found an artist through an internet radio station. Waiting for a song that I like by an artist I don't know greatly exceeds my attention span.
