Albums that you disliked a lot before getting into

Parkway Drive - Deep Blue.

When I first bought it, having never heard a note of music before hand but inspired by absolutely rave recommendations, I was very disappointed, it was just so average and generic.

Then I really heard it after a good six or seven listens and heard what all the fuss was about.

I didn't like Cowboys from Hell when I first heard it. I saw Pantera on their last tour with Slayer, and they kicked my ass!

Pain of Salvation.

Crazy thinking about how I love em now Embarrassed

I bought Remedy Lane and Entropia and didn't like em at all (especially Remedy Lane).
Some years later brushed em off and...I loved them!
Now one of my favorite bands!

vice versa....hm, I used to really like "Adrenaline" by Deftones and now, it's horrid sounding. Also used to have pretty much every slayer song but now I dislike some of their albums, Divine Intervention and God Hates Us All (typing it makes me sick!)

Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer and Testament. The real Big Four of thrash metal!

Listen to doom metal, worship Satan

My parents gave me that album for Christmas, and it clicked immediately! And I still love it - I'm not so interested in their other output, but that one is awesome.

Ulcerate - Everything is Fire.

Hard to get in to because of the complex riffs and long songs for me. Now I think they're absolutely brilliant.

AETERNUS - ...And So The Night Became

ARCTURUS � La Masquerade Infernale

BETHLEHEM � Dictius Te Necare

DARK TRANQUILLITY � Projector

ENSLAVED � Eld

PRIMORDIAL � A Journey�s End

SATYRICON � Rebel Extravaganza

I used to hate Scarsick by Pain of Salvation (I even wrote a 2 star review of it for ProgArchives), but it has since grown into one of my all-time favorite albums. I guess Fear, Emptiness, Despair by Napalm Death (very difficult to approach, especially when you are (as I was at the time) unacquainted with deathgrind) and The Sound of Perseverance by Death are also good examples.

I'm sure there are many more, but I'm having a tough time thinking of all of them. Tongue

Three albums I did not get into due to the complex song structures were Tears Laid in Earth by The 3rd and the Mortal, Steps by Sieges Even, and Dances of Death by Mekong Delta. Now, I like these albums. I also did not like Fates Warning's Perfect Symmetry in the beginning due to the high pitched vocals, but then after listen to plenty of King Diamond and Sanctuary I slowly began to like it. This album also to the same time helped me to like high-pitched vocals in general. I did not like Watchtower's Control and Resistance for the same reason at first, but not the high vocals don't disturb me anymore.

Helloween's Master of the Rings was a difficult album for me as well, because could not get into the vocals of Andi Deris, because I was so used to Michael Kiske although I already know Andi Deris vocals from Pink Cream 69 and liked it. Now, I just enjoy this album.

An album that I liked first, but don't care about anymore is "...the night of Halloween" by Wasted.

I initially hated Electric Wizard's "Dopethrone" but it is one of my favorite albums of all time now. Also, it took me awhile to get into Dream Theater.
