Albums You've Become Desensitized To

[2010DigitalBoy]

[COLOR=DarkOrange]Ever listen to a CD so many times you don't even here it anymore? These days a ton of my albums just go right over my head when I hear them. I can't even listen to them anymore because my mind won't hear them. i already know what's going to happen next and it makes it difficult to listen to O_o It's really a shame because some of these are my favorite albums of all time

[B]Frances The Mute [/B] - [B]the Mars Volta [/B] - I consider this album to have been my entryway into everything I listen to now as well as the greatest album of all time. When I first got into it, i went to the legendary Mars Volta forum, The comatorium, and began observing the massive decoding sessions ever-playing out there. For about a week I did nothing but go between my room and the computer room listening to the CD and researching it. I kept listening to it for a long time and eventually it became unhearable.

[B]De-Loused In The Comatorium [/B] - [B]the Mars Volta [/B] - When I first bought this CD several months after owning Frances the Mute i actually didn't like it all that much (or rather, didn't pay enough attention to it). Eventually, though, I got on a streak where I had these two albums in a playlist and would just rerun it constantly. A few months ago I lost the ability to hear it.

[B]In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3[/B] - [B]Coheed and Cambria [/B] - I remember when I first bought this and I was listening to it while watching my brother beat Radiata Stories. I loved it so much that I didn't like the different styles of their other two albums and would only listen to this one. It's funny cuz now this is actually my least favorite of their albums >_>

[B]The Second Stge Turbine Blade [/B] - [B]Coheed and Cambria [/B] - it took me a long time before I gave this album a fighting chance as it's emo-ness kept pushing me away. One time I really payed attention to it, though, and just from the amazing opening of Time Consumer I was drawn in. For almost two weeks i listened to this album three to four times a day and would sing it constantly. Even after I lowered the frequency it managed to get a lot of runs. it took a good while for it to become hard to hear.

[B]City of Evil [/B] - [B]Avenged Sevenfold [/B] - Part of the reason for this is because certain tracks are played on the radio a lot and because a lot of the songs sound very similar. This is another one that for two weeks i played almost constantly. For the most part I would listen to it while gaming when I was on one of my previous gaming kicks, and once I got off that kick I got off the CD.

[B]Demon Days [/B] - [B]Gorillaz [/B] - this one happened over an expanse of time. Of all the CDs I've listened to while playing video games, this one has seen the most action. Before I became a CD-junky this was about all I had along with some Green Day albums which got maniacal rotation. Eventually it got to the point where the firt 6 songs all sounded the same and the rest I wouldn't want to listen to >_<

[B]Hybrid Theory [/B] - [B]Linkin Park [/B] - Back when I was young this was my favorite album and got a freaking ton of spins. It's so short that it's easy to get burned into your skull.[/COLOR]

I can't say it's happened with entire CDs but it's definitely happened with songs. Not just the overplayed sort but just ones that I used to love and gradually, even though I still think they're good, I can't listen to them.

Actually, it's happened with a band.[B] Better than Ezra[/B] is one of my favorite bands and yet...I can't listen to their stuff anymore. I still their they're great but I've been burnt out on them for awhile now.

Oddly enough, it hasn't happened to some CDs that I listen to a lot. For example, I can still listen to Yasunori Mitsuda's "Kirite" CD over and over on repeat. I don't know what it is that can make some bands, songs, etc get annoying and others not. It's interesting. But I think it happens to everyone at some point.

[font=arial][size=1]Probably because some bands are more predictable than others. Try to listen to stuff that is more offbeat and has more time/key changes in it. They tend to last longer.

Like for me, I can listen to [u]Hell Songs[/u] by the Daughters pretty much forever, same goes for mathematical rock bands like North of America and Cinemechanica. I don't get bored of it (and believe me, I listen to them [url=http://www.last.fm/user/RiflesAtRecess/]A LOT[/url]) because they're full of time signature changes. It's harder to memorize and guess what's coming next.

Although this remains true with my favorite band's cd's, that's simply because they haven't released anything in over four years. I'm of course talking about Circle Takes the Square. I listened to [u]As the Roots Undo[/u] by them at least once a day for probably two years of my life. It had such an effect on me, but I just got burned out of it, I need something new by them, and things are looking positive about that this year. :D[/font][/size]
