Albums you forgot/never realized were that good until recently

This is a little of both forgetting and not knowing. I remember the hits obviously from middle school, and always heard it was great. But I also never really heard the whole thing and realized it was THAT good.

After recently getting into it as an album and not a few hit singles, it is really amazing.

Bazooka Tooth by Aesop Rock has slowly moved from my least favorite LP of his to most favorite alongside None Shall Pass, not sure how I ever disliked it.

I remember encountering De Facto years ago and not being interested at all, now I'd call Légende du Scorpion à Quatre Queues one of the masterpieces of its (admittedly small and obscure) genre.

Also Tom Vek, I even deleted him at one point but I've found a recent love for We Have Sound, just a unique and real album

He's such a lazy asshole now, it's been 5 years and I've not heard a thing from him argh;

Also Plastic Beach. I really thought it was only a bit above average the first 20 times I listened to it, and only put two tracks on playlists.

The other day something turned over in my head and I thought, "I suddenly GET plastic beach, I must listen to it now, I am salivating even for Snoop Dogg's silly rhymes"

And it was excellent. I love it now.

I've been in love with Plastic Beach for some time now, aside from "Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach", and I too have recently fallen in love with even that track.

Yea it took a while for Plastic Beach to sink in for me also.

But now i feel it has a certain classic sound that makes it really great. I can't quite explain it though.

well i mean the first time i heard them was in like 6th grade and i had only been accustomed to like pink floyd and the doors so you can imagine the intense difference switching from classic rock to them

in fact, if it weren't for NMH, i would still be a classic rock junkie

So yeah, kind of dismissed this album because it's post-Bill Berry, but gave it an honest listen and it's pretty good. Waaay better than their other post-berry stuff/New Adventures in Hi-Fi.
