I'm listening to one of my favorite records of all time while I etch away on my copper plate for my printmaking class and was remembering how off guard I was taken the first time I heard The Anniversary's second album, Your Majesty. For those like me who played their first release to death, I'm sure it was the same ear-popping, jaw-dropping shock and awe. At first, I didn't like it. Not one bit. Then it hit me. I got it. And the rest is history. Now I just feel like they were complete musical geniuses for taking such a chance. I only wish they would have put out a proper third album.
Have you ever had a similar experience? With what band and album?

I was that way with Radiohead's Kid A. Came completely from left field, and I didn't get it at first, but it's a masterpiece. I remember the day I bought it the day it came out ten years ago like it was yesterday.
