Query: Caveat: this album will take time to appreciate

I feel the negative reviews I read here could be because certain people have not listened to this album enough times to have the unique sound and lyrical direction crystallize into a coherent whole. It is safe to say this is a concept album and it helps to read along with the lyrics to hear the message. I listened to this album a few times and did not like it at all, then came back to it years later and loved it.In addition, perhaps some are mistaking that this album became lionized because of the controversy that swirled around it. To dismiss it on that level would be a sad mistake. And, the criticisms about certain songs not being "punk-sounding" enough for them smacks of the criticism targeted at Miles Davis when he strayed outside the boundaries of strict Jazz improvisation. If every artist obeyed these silly and arbitrary definitions for a particular genre, then innovation in popular music would soon cease.Like a fine wine, give it time.
