The message board of a band that peaked 20 years ago is not the most natural place to find a whole mess of people geeked about a self-released Hospitals record. But in corners of the internet where that did happen, it was observed among the group that many listeners required many listens to gain traction with it. It's an insidiously sneaky grower of an album for a lotta ears. With today's listening habits being so bad (preview mp3...this is a long intro...NEXT!), it does immediately alienate a lotta people. Anyone with really good headphones should try it in those, too.
