Old Songs and Old Albums...Now?

[HarukaKamiya]

NEXT LEVEL as an album was just, I don't know, the arrangement was so OFF to me. Granted, I loved all the songs on there, I was just re-arranging the album like whoa back then. Still my least favorite album, but at least I don't hate it anymore. rollin' is one of my jams, man.

At first I hated the Sunrise/Sunset single, like lots of people. But a few listens later, I grew to love it.

Life was an "eh" song. It still kind of is, although I have come to appreciate it and I do love it when it comes on at the right time on my iPod.

Well.... most songs, I don't liked when I heard it first, i still don't like it.
For example: Girlish, Humming 7/3, Signal, Friend, Friend 2, PS2....
I never liked them.. and I never will like this songs.

Most of the time the first impression of a song is the lasting impression with me, if I like it the first time I will always like it. But I tend to over-play songs I like a lot and then I loose interest in them. On the other hand sometimes I really can't stand a song and then they grow on me and I love them. Most of the tracks on Love Songs I couldn't stand at first but they are growing on me fast which is a first for me, usually they grow on me over weeks of time.

-(Pretty much all of A Song for XX (sorry guys her voice was too young and high for my taste. I know most Ayu fans would call this a "sin" or say I'm "not a real Ayu fan" but that's not true))

Others I didn't mention: I'm pretty much neutral about them, don't love them, don't hate them

[Yum!Fruit_Salad!]

I honestly can't think of any. The first impression I get is the way that stays with me.

[*Ayu_Freak*]

Fr me it was so: I heard a Ayu Song (Depend on you).
I ´d like the first album exept Poker face, You, Trust and the other singles.
But first I didn't like Ayu, first, I began to read her Article on Wikipedia (in Germany of course) and there, I began to listen to her music and realy it saws, that Ayu had made a great evolution!
And then I listened t Guilty and I was shoked, that she sang rocky songs, but I accepted the Music Style and now Guilty is my fave Album of Ayu *__*
Today I love ASFXX, too!
Honestly, all Albums xD
And the same it was with RAINBOW
So, I wrote enough xD

I used to hate Hana, but it's one of my favorite songs now. I've always been a huge fan of her first two albums, but Hana, And then, and Immature were three songs that I always skipped on them...but now, those are three of my absolute favorites. I like really random songs from her :p I really liked the 80's feel of A Song for XX and the dark electronica of LOVEppears.

When I first heard ayu, I saw (miss) understood inna library! Keep in mind I'm in America, Its so rare to have foreign artists in a library. I picked it up and listened to it at home. I looked at the photobook and thought she's so pretty!
Her unique voice really caught me off guard. I was like, ??????? How weird bold & delicious... I didn't like it first but a couple of days I couldn't stop listening!

It's now my favorite album

[Picaflor 7/4]

I used to hate bold and delicious, and thought it was her worst song ever upon the first few listens.

and now....

I still feel exactly the same way about it.

[TeamAyu2004]

Lets see.. my first album was Memorial Address and I have to say I liked all those the moment I heard them... the same goes with
I am...
Rainbow
Duty
Love Songs

the ones that had to grow on me are
Loveppears
My Story <- liked the singles first
(miss)understood <- liked all the singles but Bold & Delicious first
Secret
Guilty
Next Level
Rock n Roll Circus

Those last four albums i didn't really care for anything, lol. not even the singles, but after years I ahve to say they have finally grown on me, lol.

As for A Song for XX I cant seem to like it, lol.. i dont understand. I like some of the singles but I cant just seem to sit down and listen to it, i get bored!

[(miss)understood]

Every new album that is released, I feel her songs are strange. There's typically 2-3 songs that I instantly like, but the songs I love the most are the ones I hear and don't understand/appreciate at first, and years down the road, become my favorites.

I guess I don't understand the question, I definitely don't understand my answer.
