After spending a bit of time perusing this board and contributing here and there, I thought maybe it was time I posted a new topic. Not gonna do a lengthy intro of myself or anything, but as a newbie to BB fandom, I’m learning a lot very quickly, having jumped down this rabbit hole
I haven’t gotten through all of the albums yet. I’m going in order... just starting 15 Big Ones… whoo boy. Reserving judgement until I’ve spent a bit more time with it. But that got me thinking about how I listen to music, and how albums can sort of get better or worse over time, at least for me.
Sometimes I love an album immediately from the first listen, but then it wears out quickly (BB Party! I'm coughing in your general direction.)
Some others have taken much longer to get into, but then suddenly they just "clicked" and now I hold them in the highest regard (Wild Honey, I’m so sorry we got off on the wrong foot!)
I'm curious about the albums, or even the songs, that have changed for you over time.

Hi SCZ. Good idea for a first topic!
The album that gave me the most trouble to start with but has since become a favourite is
Love You
.
Friends
and
So Tough
are similar cases in point, thanks to SWD's study video and an "alternate" version, respectively. All three "conversions" are thanks to this forum!
The one you're listening to now is another matter entirely. I don't think I'll ever wholly come to terms with
15 Big Ones
----bits and pieces, yes, but not all of it...

Looking Back With Love, obviously, has grown on me over time. I burned the first copy I had, but subsequent copies were disposed of less and less violently until I actually started liking it.

Jumping in on the album you're digesting right now, at first I didn't care at all about Palisades Park but after awhile I realized that it was actually an awesome, fun, and really creative cover.
IMHO 15BO didn't really miss by that much, it just had a section in the middle of it that needed to be surgically removed and replaced with their outtakes from those sessions (Sea Cruise, and an awesome and sorta creepy Mony Mony, for example). Not sure why they made some of the choices they did there, but I am certain that they regretted it.
This might be an obvious one, but Smiley Smile took some time for me to get into, there is a lot of invisible bitterness in that album. After awhile I started to really like the weird and very original pitchshift stuff and other production things they messed around with, and from there it kept growing on me.

Regarding Palisades Park, it wasn't hate on first listen, I can see it growing on me after awhile. My general feeling about 15 BO at this moment in time can, hilariously, be summed up in a couple of lines from It's Ok... "Gotta go to it. Gonna go through it"
I loved Smiley Smile from the first time I heard it, though I can understand why anyone might have a tough time with it. I actually think it helped me loosen up an art project I've been working on.

I'm SO looking forward to Love You! And not just because that means I'll be done with 15 BO
Just what I've heard about it seems like it might really be up my alley.

Figured with new WH set, I'd like the album tad better - I didn't. Friends - OK now but the dullfest tracks still stay the dullfest tracks. Carl's albums - not that bad than before. Dislike SIP, used to like. Ditto 15 Big Ones & 85 (except the usual Al-written/ sung suspects).

Lucky Old Sun, Looking Back With Love, Gershwin Album, Unleash The Love, and MIU all took some time to grow on me. These were albums I hated at first listen, but grew to enjoy, all to certain extents.

Agreed Nate!

And production aside, I’d so much rather hear a 14 year old David Marks shred some guitar on Chug-a-lug than hear a 51 year old Mike Love sing about bangin some chick in a swimming pool.-rab2591

For years I disliked the BB85 album, but somehow along the way I began to like it very much. I look forward to popping it on now. I think it was the 80s sounding production that originally turned me off. I'm ok with it now.

I've come around again on 80s pop as I've gotten older. It's the music of my childhood, and I liked it a bit then. I checked out on it as I got into classic rock and heavy metal in my teens and 20s, but in my 30s, have come to appreciate it again.
