I'm curious as 2 how long it takes everybody 2 sink your teeth in2 a new release? Do U form a rock-solid opinion on 1st listen? Does it need time 2 grow on U? If so, how much?

Example: When Madonna put out "Confessions on a Dance Floor" last November, I bought it the day it came out, threw it on the monster sound system at work and played it from and 2 end. My 1st thought: "Wow, repetitive much?". Upon further listenings, I feel it's possibly 1 of the greatest albums of her career.

It takes me about a month of regular listening 2 form a final opinion on an album. I don't make snap judgements on something that took months and sometimes years 4 an artist 2 complete. I like 2 give everything a solid chance 2 work it's magic on me, good or bad.


What's your turn-around time on a new music verdict?
