I have heard many friends say "some albums grow on you" - I think this one is in that category.
So far, the one track that I do like straight off the bat is Kashmir - the violin scratching away at the start is a little spine tingling, then into the familiar thrum of the song, albeit a little strange waiting for Robert Plant to wail on in.
Will continue to listen until I either declare it crap, or get past my preconceived ideas of what I though the music would be.
Typical Groove Note sound though, I love it.
