If it's apparent shit on first listen, I'm not going to bother listening to it over and over. However, there are a few albums that I didn't like at all on first listen, but saw some potential worth in them. A good example with me is Trout Mask Replica. I first listened to it three years ago (I was sixteen) and found the thing to be somewhat interesting, though kinda painful to sit through. I put it on sporadically over the next two years seeing if it would click, and it finally did last year. I think a lot of it also has to do with the fact that my tastes have significantly shifted from when I was sixteen to where I am now that helped me appreciate it more. I can say the same thing for a few other albums in my collection too.
