[music |The Shins: A Comet Appears]

An oddity: when I really like a song, it's always the fourth time I listen to it that sends me into ecstasy. The first time I'm busy trying to make out the lyrics and not really sure where it's going. The second time I think "Oh, there's that song I liked again." The third time I finally get a grasp of its structure by the end and think "Wow, that's very good." And the fourth time it's absolutely rapturous. Then after that I get used to it and it becomes progressively more boring and ordinary after each listening.

Does this happen to anyone else, or am I just weird?

I've never noticed a patern myself...

Everything by Weeble sounded best the first time I heard it, while the final song in the universal migrator became better the ever before when I listened to it this morning...admitadly, I was comatose a the time.

If you ever listen to Dragonforce, they will break your pattern and send you into ecstasy before you've even hit the chorus.

That's only because any given song song by Dragonforce repeats itself at least four times before it hits the chorus.

Repeating awesomeness just makes it even more awesome. :P
