I was still in high school when this came out. A friend lent it to me on CD, and I played it on loop in the background while studying for finals, barely paying attention at first. I hadn't listened to it before and had no expectations whatsoever. Then, after 3 or 4 full repeats, all of a sudden something clicked. I looked up, I started actively listening to it for a while, and realized I what an absolute masterpiece this is. One of my all time favorite albums ever since. It's so good, that I actually have fond memories of studying for finals thanks to it LOL.
