As in, the opposite of growers. Instead of being an album that you may not like much on first listen that you start to realize the greatness of on repeat listens, albums that you think are 10/10 GOAT masterpieces at first but on repeat listens realize aren't that great.

Literally every album that you like on your first listen is going to do that. We humans have something called dopamine.
Oliver Mitchell
Its funny you posted guys in a river and called it shrinkers lmao

Listened to Spiderland two years ago. I actually love it even more now that I've listened to the things that have influenced it, and what it has influenced.
Owen Gutierrez

Nathaniel Butler
kill yourself
Chase Martin
I thought it was the best thing he'd ever made, but then I listened to Rifts a few times between the next time I listened to G.O.D. and realize it wasn't that good.
Robert Reyes
dont know if its just me but
Evan Harris
Same
Levi Sullivan

Justin Hughes
it isn't a shrinker you're supposed to realise it's pretty shit on your first listen
Brayden Miller
lol what the fuck
Austin Evans
TLOP
Jose Allen
I really like this when it first came out, but honestly it's fucking terrible.
Chase Allen
lonerism too
James Diaz
kinda shrinker tbqh
Adrian Miller
everything by radiohead, honestly
Hudson Morales

Jason Thompson
after getting more and more into emo, this just gets bland as fuck i mean it's still a great album but god it just isn't the same as it used to
Parker Watson
forgot pic, god i am stupid
Aiden Nguyen
Nah, even Slint imitators don't sound like Slint. There's quite a bit to get from this album, and it's unlike the typical good album.
Pretty much.
At first it's a Shrinker as you're new to music because your tastes change from something catchy getting your attention to something that sounds externally weird and different getting your attention. But then later into the music listening experience it becomes a grower again once you actually care for subtleties in songwriting.
GOD has by far the best songwriting of anything 0PN has ever done with an attention to pitch riff and rhythms never before while it doesn't just focus on one main thing (ex. samples in Replica or synths in R + 7).
I can see it. Enjoying this album after the initial wow factor's dependent on if you like the particular approach it takes towards melody (which is one not many ppl like.)
Kendrick's changing flows always makes this an interesting listen though.
What? But not a lot of other emo even sounds like it. It has a certain bit of mathy feel to it that if you want matched/surpassed you usually got go into screamo territory.
Thomas Sanders
Bought it a month ago and it slowly became a 7/10
Gabriel Cox
ITT: people who initially just bought into the hype of an album and ultimately have no clue what really makes that album good
Luis Hernandez
Definitely correct answers. Especially Slint.
Caleb Murphy
A lot of metal shrinks on me tbqh
Matthew Bailey
Antlers I think is kind of an entire band that shrank on me. Like, all of their albums are kind of lacking in some way, but each of them tricked me into thinking they were better than they were. Then Familiars came out and I was like, "Oh! These guys actually just aren't any good!"
Leo Gomez
...
Adrian Mitchell
Still think the album is not bad at all, just not as great as I thought at first. But maybe that's just because it felt less aggressive.
Wyatt Flores
This was my favorite Experience but their first and third albums are way better.
Jeremiah Sullivan
literally how? there's so many details that you just slowly pick up on with each subsequent listen
Levi Taylor
I disagree completely, i found it an underwhelming listen the first few times, bar a couple of songs. I think it's an album whose beauty is revealed on multiple listens when you pick up on its subtleties and nuances
Lincoln Peterson
Lacking is exactly the right word to describe what is wrong with the antlers and also a lot of other bands (Alex G comes to mind right away). I've been trying to describe it for a long time but couldn't quite figure out how to say it, so thanks.
Nathan Wood
Not that guy, but I think the album becomes more boring on each listen. Just not as fun or exciting. I found that I listened to it a bunch after I first heard it, but now I only listen to it only once every 2 years or so, which is less frequent than other albums I was equally obsessed with at first.
Adrian Foster
Agree with all these Personally I'd say all of Death Grips' music I disagree with these, but I respect you guys.
Andrew Hall
Disagree. It hasn't lost its luster with me.
Isaiah Ortiz
Queen is dead any kanye west album any anco album besides sung tongs any kendrick lamar album any radiohead album
Eli Lewis
Wow, this thread man. It's almost as if music is subjective and people enjoy it in different ways.
You're probably right about death grips, I think I mostly enjoy their music by being overwelmed with different sounds on every new release.
Christopher Jones
Posting in an EPIC bait thread XDDDD
Isaiah Campbell
please delete your worthless trip gtfo, my taste is objective what the fuck? again, what the fuck? yeah I see this. As much as Ilike AmCo Feels is their only release that I generally want to sit through start to finish ehhhh theres a lot of small subtle changes but i respect this one its a pretty bad album disagree but respect nice taste this album was always pretty shit
Justin Miller
delete your post loser
Hudson Howard
This reply itself is probably bait but I'm gonna bite anyway FUCK YOU Soft Bulletin for SURE
Nicholas King
Hospice is an incredible album.
Grayson Powell
the production ruins it. I've only listened to it once or twice and i could feel the spit dripping from the singers voice onto the microphone, disgust no thanks senpai but why don't you contribute to the thread instead of being a butthurt child ok? :-) >Soft Bulletin for SURE my man

So sad practically all reviews are made on first impressions. This is a 7, not a 9. Still plenty good tho.
Cameron Allen

Benjamin Carter
Agree with TSB for sure. And though it pains me to say it about one of my major adolescence albums, pic related.
Jaxon Nelson
the moon & antarctica
Parker Turner
Agreed
Plebs, Wrong is a great punk record
Leo Kelly
...
Brandon Brooks
i like this album the same as i did 5 years ago, if not more. good pop songs are good pop songs.
Daniel Sanchez
I only liked transilvanian hunger and i en hall med on it, the rest it pretty boring
For his discography, this and Figure 8 are the most obvious 'shrinkers'. For me, From a Basement on the Hill gets better the more I listen, as does Roman Candle.
Josiah Long
definitely, loved this shit when I was 11-12 but i haven't listened to it in around 4 years
Gavin Sullivan
Does anyone have the chart with albums that influenced Spiderland? Please I need it.
Benjamin Roberts
NOTM still feels solid to me, but I'm still waiting on a really timeless record
Jackson Harris
I wouldn't call any of the essential Sup Forumscore shrinkers
Carson Clark
Any album that I put on repeat over and over again becomes a shrinker. Used to love Meliora, but now can't sit through it. I usually have to wait a year or two to pick up the album again and enjoy it.
Hudson Hill
Tried to limit it to just a few albums, cuz there are way too many of these.
Luis Russell
Yeah this definitely
Eli Ward
Gotta say, I disagree with this one. Although this album hit me so hard on the first listen that second and third listens can't really compare.
Brody Bailey
disagree but a lot of people seem to think this about kendricks stuff. I've listened to this album like 6 times and still love it
Gabriel Torres
i disagree. i really dug it on my first listen, and maybe would have rated it a 8-9/10 but as i listened to it more and more my rating just went up until it was a 10 for me.
