Much more loathe then loved.
I was a bit of a music snob (no shit) when I was younger, and I thought Van Halen and Bon-era AC/DC sucked.
Wrong.
Listen to VH's "Fair Warning". Absolutely rocks. "Unchained", "So This Is Love?", etc are phenomenal. And it's even got some great backing harmony vocals on there.
The entire Bon-era of ACDC is absolutely kick ass, balls to the wall rock. And that band could boogie with the best of 'em. I want to break shit when I hear "Long Way to the Top", "TNT", "Whole Lotta Rosie" and such.
Masterpieces of sonic power.

This is question to any of you who write reviews of music (in print, blog or elsewhere). You all must have written reviews of music that you loved at that moment in time and then later, after repeated listens came to believe it didn't really measure up as you thought it had. Perhaps it simply didn't age as well as you'd assumed. Or conversely, perhaps you reviewed something you panned at the time but after further exposure to the music (or simply the timing of hearing it again at another time in your life) you came to love it.
So my question is do any albums really jump out to you that you initially loved and came to dismiss or even loath? Or vice versa? Have you written updated reviews to "correct" your opinion? If your so inclined to share, I'm just find such things interesting...
