^^Almost 3 years ago a young friend of mine from Iceland was introducing all kinds of metal bands in a forum I used to frequent. We got to be good friends and he would exhort me to listen over and over and over again to the black/death metal bands that he loved, and told me I had to "Force Myself" to listen until I started to like the bands....
Of course his forum name was "Death" so that was to be expected and he was so earnest trying to turn me to the "Dark Side" it made me smile.
I agree I never sound off until playing something from beginning to end in sequence a few times, however the 2nd time though Obzen was enough Meshuggah for me for my lifetime so that was it for them.
