I found with some of the other albums that there were songs I didn't like at first, but after a few listens I ended up enjoying them as much as the ones I liked on the first spin. Nine Inch Nails With Teeth was sort of that way too. It was a long time coming and it was different, but it grew on me quickly. So far, I like this album (sure felt like 10,000 days). As always, it has an excellent 2ch mix. Different, maybe a little mellower? 1-2 listens aren't enough to get a good feel for most albums, especially a highly anticipated one.
