foreverendeared
09.14.11 | I rate 4.5 on first listen all the time. Don't think I've ever 5'd on first though. |

acorncheese
09.14.11 | i honestly don't even really think about a rating on my first listen. thought just doesn't come up. |
bloc
09.14.11 | Never 5'd and to be honest it doesn't make sense to me to do it. I do 4.5 a lot though if the album warrants it. |
pmmets07
09.14.11 | Dangers - Messy, Isn't It?
Modern Life is War - Witness (but then i bumped it down to 4.5) |

Jash
09.14.11 | I've 5'd albums after a 3 or 4 listens a few times, but the only album I can remember 5'ing right after the first listen was The Age of Adz |
Jash
09.14.11 | I lied, I also 5'd King Of Limbs after first listen |

09.14.11 | "I just got Neighborhoods
It sounds alright so far"
Ghost on the Dancefloor, Wishing Well, and Even If She Falls were all great surprises, I wasn't expecting too much from this album. That interlude is pretty neat too. |
taxidermist
09.14.11 | I 5'd Frances the Mute and In the Aeroplane Over the Sea on a first listen (well, ITAOTS I rated a 4.5 because I simply didn't want to "buy into the hype," but later just had to 5 it because it was so good). |
FromDaHood
09.14.11 | Third Eye Blind- Third Eye Blind
jack's Mannequin- Everything in Transit
Bot were emotion driven (I even texted my friend and told my friend 3EB was the perfect coping album, he disagreed) but they remaining my top 5 ever |
Trebor.
09.14.11 | Wishing Well is really good |
Skweetis
09.14.11 | Amon Duul II - Yeti |
Xplisit
09.14.11 | if you 5 on the first listen youre an idiot |

09.14.11 | 5 On The First Listen?
Only few records like The Dark Side of the Moon, Marillion's Misplaced Childhood, Maiden's Live After Death and Powerslave, Priest's Painkiller or Helloween's Keeper of the Seven Keys part II. |

That's not nice |
Strider
09.14.11 | I 5'd Agalloch's The Mantle on the first listen, as well as Vheissu. I've never changed them |
FromDaHood
09.14.11 | And not true |
luci
09.14.11 | I've never 5'd an album on first listen. |

Blackbelt54
09.15.11 | never 5'd on first listen
but I've 4.5'd and 4'd I think |
aok
09.15.11 | 'if you 5 on the first listen youre an idiot' -- such an uninspired pov |
Blackbelt54
09.15.11 | I don't even think I've ever thought of an album as a 5 on first listen
and I try to listen to something multiple times before rating |
JJwins
09.15.11 | Slow Riot For New Zero Kanada was the one and only instant five I've had. Not counting old school records that I knew were a 5 beforehand. |
Killerhit
09.15.11 | I got a few:
Nine Inch Nails - Downward Spiral
Soundgarden - Superunknown
Cynic - Focus
Tool - Aenima |
Masochist
09.15.11 | I have only ever give a "5" to six albums. And if I'm not mistaken, the only one of those that ever got a 5 on the first listen was Johnny Cash's 'At San Quentin'.
It's hard enough for me to 4.5 on first listen, but that happens every so often--most recently with DJ Shadow's 'Endtroducing'. |
Killerhit
09.15.11 | Oh, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor's debut, of course. Amazin'. |
omnipanzer
09.15.11 | no, never |
FatChickIrl
09.15.11 | Highest ive gone was 4.5, that might change tho |
CrazyPlane
09.15.11 | No. |
toxin.
09.15.11 | I'll 4.5 something and see if it deserves it. It's not a rule or anything, though, and I might 5 the next album I hear. It usually takes a while to grow on me.
There have been albums I rated 5 to start with, but that's because I knew them before Sputnik (Transatlanticism and Innocence & Instinct) |
liledman
09.15.11 | even if its worth a 5, there is no way you could absorb it all after one listen. anything really good should take a while to appreciate that much. |
gotsthedewsdood
09.15.11 | a 5 to me is something that remains emotionally relevant long after hearing it. |
tiesthatbind
09.15.11 | Scenes From a Memory was a 5 after two listens, but that's the only time it's ever been that quick for me. |
Trebor.
09.15.11 | It usually takes me at least 10 listens to really get an album |
psykonaut
09.15.11 | i 5'd geogaddi by boards of canada on 1st listen. i think that's the only one really |
Deviant.
09.15.11 | Any rating after 1 listen is kinda ridiculous |
Satellite
09.15.11 | nah, i do preliminary ratings all the time. it's not like it's set in stone. |
North0House2
09.15.11 | I've only 5'd on the first listen with one album, and that was Spiderland by Slint. Still the most solid 5 in my book. |
theacademy
09.15.11 | i would never do such a thing. |
North0House2
09.15.11 | BLASPHEMY. |
Uranium
09.15.11 | If I really like on first listen I give a 4. It has to continually surprise to earn the higher badges. |
Parallels
09.15.11 | Any rating after 1 listen is kinda ridiculous [2] |
Trebor.
09.15.11 | An album can definitely be a 1 on the first listen |
North0House2
09.15.11 | I wish it could be -1 on the first listen... |
breesuschrist
09.15.11 | or like maybe wait until you developed your full opinion on the album before rating? so yeah first time on several. wat |
Trebor.
09.15.11 | Ratings aren't permanent
I rate albums after the first listen mostly so I don't forget |
breesuschrist
09.15.11 | never said they were
and forget what |
Trebor.
09.15.11 | Forget to rate it |

clercqie
09.15.11 | Only 2 albums:
Bon Iver - For Emma, Forever Ago and
Bloc Party - Intimacy |
Adabelle
09.15.11 | Always try to rate after the first listen but then I'll always listen again. If I liked the album loads, I play it again pretty soon after, if it was a 3 or less, I'll wait days/weeks/months to listen again. Back to the original question, never 5'd after one listen. |
