Last three albums - better with age? Options

[sellingthdrama]

As I was rocking my 3-week old son to sleep last night, I decided to play a few songs from SFBM. I was surprised that I liked it more than I remember. I've noticed that with V, BOP, and SFBM, every time I put them away for a while and then re-listen, I like them more.

Are these albums getting better with age for anyone else?

Regardless, though, I don't consider it "real Live" - I know V was a turning point and you can hear it in the album.

V really grew on me with time. TYL, SC, DE, Overcome, FMNBLE and HOL are ok. The problem with V is that the bad moments are really bad and the album is not cohesive for this reason. For example, I really like FMNBLE, a very different songs for them. I know Chad T. wrote about it and everything, but I still like the vibe. And after you hear Call me a fool. What? Completely out of place.

BOP is worse with time. So generic. Life marches on represents the album so well. A bland rock song with nothing really that catches you up. i do like SOD despite the bad writing, kind of a Weezer song there. Of course LID and Lighthouse are standouts. Raw Live there. I don't mind about heaven, but they put all the promotion efforts on this one and not on the rockier side. So Sad.

SFBM is worse with time. Catchy at times but it doesn't stand the test of time. Generic, always the same song structures. even the good ideas are destroyed by poor music or bad recording. I like Mystery ( thought Ed had it good in concert at times), Show (good idea not well recorded), Wings, Sophia and WDWGFH. My favorite being the last.
