I used to think Parachutes was bland.
Now it's top 10.

I didn't like Blood until after seeing PJ20

Blood took time for me too. Like 15-20 years. But I do enjoy it now.Rangi Guy wrote:I didn't like Blood until after seeing PJ20

Yes, the album version popped up on shuffle the other day on the ride to work and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I sort of remember the demo, but can't find it. If it's legal and out there in a good format, point me in the right direction.tragabigzanda wrote:If you're referring to the album version, then no, that's not the case.Coach wrote:Also, hated Speed of Sound, but now like it[...]maybe it's a good tune.

Re: songs that you don't get BUT THEN YOU DO
Same here. I always liked it, but it felt so much like a half-assed Beatles cover without all the bells and whistles that make a good Beatles song. So, yeah, I never hated it, but I did find it boring for a while. Now I goddamn LOVE it.LetMeSleep wrote:I used to think Parachutes was bland.

Riot Act. Hated this album so much for the first couple of years it was released. Then something about it just clicked.

"Click" is definitely one of the first sounds I hear anytime "Sweet Lew" comes on the stereo...

Force of Nature. Seemed real cheesy for a long time. Not sure what's changed, but I seem to be enjoying it quite a bit lately. I keep noticing Ed's vocals are pretty cool. It feels weird, but a lot of Backspacer seems to be getting better with time.

I'm still waiting on Force of Nature. I like the lyrics well enough, but the song just makes me queasy.
