 Topic: "Infatuation" Albums
Posted: March 08 2006 at 14:30 |
I remember when I bought Octavarium-Dream Theater. On the first day I listened to it six times. In following two weeks I gradually listened to it less and less. I would call it an Infatuation album, I can´t listen to it anymore. It´s like meeting a stunning woman and then finding out she loves Hip-Hop and you basically have nothing in commmon.
Then there is Endless Love, you start out as friends and it grows into a deep love that you never get tired of, for example Point of Know Return-Kansas. At first listen I wasn´t sure what to think(the friend phase), but after all this time I still go back to it and love it!
So, I would classify Octavarium as an Infatuation Album. Has anyone else had this Experience with Octavarium or another album?

yes, i understand what youre talking about
i had this experience with Can - Tago Mago
when i downloaded it i heard it 3 times, and the following days and weeks i heard it again and again, but this happened in early 2005, i think i havent heard to it since July, now when i look at it, i dont have the will to play it in my computer or stereo
i think is a good album by the way

Infatuation : Pain of Salvation - The perfect Element Part 1. Bought it 'cause I like One hour by ....a lot. First of I listened to it a lot, but now I don't play the cd that much. It bores me a bit. Play One hour by.... a lot still.
Endless love : Pawn Hearts, Wish you Were Here, Octopus, Foxtrot.

Cool idea
Infatuation: Yes-Tales For years one of my favs, now I find it slightly bland, the thrill is gone.
Endless love: Gentle Giant-Free Hand No exaggeration, over 100 listens, always hear something new!
Cheers

Sometime in the mid 70s I bought Patrick Moraz' album "I" and thought it was great. Played it over and over for weeks. Then about a month later I put it on and it was like waking up from a weird dream. I couldn't stand it. Haven't listened to it since.

Infatuation - I played the grooves off of Kansas "Power" when it first came out and convinced myself it was their brilliant return to form. But after a while I realized that was just me diluding myself, and it was really just a poor attempt at resuurecting their careers. I pretty much never listen to that one anymore.
Endless love - Concrete Blonde, "Bloodletting". It's not prog, but I've owned this album for over 15 years and I still listen to it all the time. It's definitely mood music.
And Godspeed You Black Emperor! "F#a# Infinity". Same reason.

I've been infatuated by every Pain of Salvation CD so far, mostly Remedy Lane and The Perfect Element though.
I was really infatuated with Pig Destroyer's Terrifyer when it came out, but that's not prog... Same with Agoraphobic Nosebleed's Altered States of America,
Lets see, prog, deffinitely Marillion's Clutching at Straws, Fates Warning's Awaken the Guardian, Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime, Spiral Architects-Sceptic's Universe, Genesis' Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. All of these I listened to endlessly when I firts got them, some of them I return to again and again, actually just about all of them haha.
Oh yeah, and I'm still listening to Nevermore's This Godless Endeavor, I've been having all sorts of enfatuation periods with that since it came out. Again not prog, but deffinitely a great album.

Pink Floyd - The Wall and DSTOM
I got bored with those albums because, when I was a kid, they were the first albums that I really liked and I listened to them a zillion times. I think they are both great albums but I'll never intentionaly put them in my CD player these days. I don't care if one of my friend puts it on when I'm there because I love these albums. I just won't listen to them by myself.

Weird. Reading this and I came across this. I was JUST going to say the exact opposite. I always find something new with Yes music.

For me a huge episode of infatuation began with Miles Davis Bitches Brew. It started there and sent me into a finger clicking roller coaster of Jazz mania. Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, tonnes of sampler discs. I totally disregarded all rock- it was Jazz or nothing baby. Then I found Frank Zappas Hot Rats (great album) which led me to Captain Beefheart. Since Beefheart I,ve never been the same.

Unfortunately,I have the opposite "system" - infatuation-less 
- "all are bad before they're good" 
I'm too sceptic(there are thousands of reasons why ),and there are not so many albums which I liked from the first time - Marillion's SCRIPT,Kaipa's debut,Locanda Delle Fate's debut...I remember,I gave 4 stars here to Collage's Moonshine...GOD,I REGRET!!!It really worth 5/5 stars!!! I remember the same situation as for Shadowland's debut...
