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. |
My point is why waste time continuing to listen to music you don't like after the first few listens on the off chance that you'll like it more after another ten listens when you can find music infinitely more deserving of your time?
