A Week later ........ Options

[Eickelman0767]

Tomorrow I will have had SFBM one week. On the day that I got it , I posted that I did not like it and was very disappointed. I am now eating my words ! I love it and I can't stop listening to it. Go figure - that will teach me to not be so impulsive with my opinion next time. Thanks to everyone for encouraging me to keep listening. I came very close to putting it back in the case and pitching it in the back seat of my car. That is what I did with BOP and I did not listen to it again for 6 months. I have a suspicion that SFBM may sneak right up to the top of my list of favorites but I won't be impulsive again and say that right now.

It is so amazing to me that the majority of Live fans that have listened to SFBM either had a negative or somewhat lukewarm reaction to the album after the first listen or two, but, after many listens, have grown to really love the album. For some reason, the nature of this album is such that it grows on you and opens and reveals itself to you after many listens. So many people's opinions have changed about the album and songs on the album. I dare say that this is my favorite Live album right now and I never thought I'd say that after my first listen.


Who here likes SFBM more after many listens than you did after you first heard it?

I am particularly curious about whether Dan's opinion has changed. Dan posted his initial reaction to the album after he first heard it and I wonder whether he likes it more now than he did then.

[By the way, have I missed something or has anyone else noticed that many of the negative posts and flame antagonists have been quiet for a few weeks. It's been pretty nice around here lately!]

To tell you the truth, I haven't listened to it since I first got it, but I have since accepted that Live have moved on and even though it is probably my least favorite Live album, it is still a decent pop album.

I banned Mets and Lettuce until futher notice, so that right there made a huge difference.
