I don't agree with this at all. There are many albums that it takes a while to pick up on and also albums that take a while to notice how much you actually like it. You could listen to it 20 times in a row and like it and then give it a rest for like 3 months or so, break it out and realize you appreciate it much more than you did before. And this could work vice-versa as well. You could get hit off the bat and really love it because it has that new factor and then all of a sudden a year later, you don't even really like it.

I'm all doing it for fun, I just found it odd that you have that many ratings when you admit to just listening to albums a few time. Personally, I need more time to digest and process music I love.
