Your ultimate "grower" album

The album that you weren't impressed with or even disliked the first time you heard it, but on repeated listens it became a favorite. Mine would be
The Shins - Oh, Inverted World
The first time I heard it I was thinking, "WTF is this shite?" Now it's one of my favorite albums of the 00's.

I prefer Chutes too narrow.
Velvet Underground and Nico for me.

Wheat - Medeiros
It was okay the first go round, but it just kept getting better... They're follow up, Hope & Adams, is probably the last great, under the radar, records of the 90's...

When I first heard "Raising Sand" by Alison Krauss and Robert Plant, I thought there was no way it would work. After all these years, it's still in my rotation and I think it's amazing.

Verve, Northern Soul. First heard it three years before I liked it. Then loved it.

Astral Weeks-Van Morrison
Rolling Stone did a top 100 albums of all time issue way back in the late 80s/early 90s and it was listed at something like #7. I bought the LP at a used record store for something like three dollars based on that back in the early 1990s. Listened to it and thought WTF. Where is the rock and roll? All I hear is strings and flutes and shite. Never listened to again for at least a decade. Pulled it out of the mothballs on a whim in the mid 2000s and my jaw dropped on how good it was.

Placebo- Without You, I'm Nothing. Hated the first listen of it. Picked it off the scrap heap several years later, and really enjoyed it. Needs another listen.

Radiohead: Kid A
Was very excited when I bought it and the first time I listened was WTF is this. Was like nothing I had heard before and nothing at all what I was expecting.
Hated it for a while. Then a few years later saw the band live and they played most of Kid A at that concert and it was incredible live.
Revisited it later and over time became one of my favorites. (Though I do like Amnesiac more)

Basically all of Dinosaur Jr. It just took way more listens than normal for me to get it.

Deftones - Saturday Night Wrist. I was excited when it first came but after the first couple of listens I didn't like it. As I've gotten older, it's become one of my favorite Deftones' albums.

Pink Floyd Meddle - now, it was after I heard the "big 4" (DSOTM, WYWH, Animals, The Wall) - so that is big shoes to fill.
I'm way more favorable to it now, although I don't think it is as good as the big 4, I appreciate it a lot more now than upon first listening.

The first couple of albums by The National. Thought they were too boring and too monotone for my tastes but they eventually grew on me to the point where I love them now.
