I like Husker Du...but I dislike Zen Arcade

ReclaimYourBrain [Edit] [Delete] 16:33, 3 August '09

I really love New Day Rising, The Girl Who Lives On Heaven Hill is an amazing song, I really like Everything Falls Apart too. For some reason I don't enjoy Zen Arcade, to point where I can say I dislike it, for some reason it doesn't "click" for me. I'm always really suprised when I see it mentioned as their best album or when people say it's a must have.

I bought it about two years ago and I put on every once in a while and just feel underwhelmed and never seem to be able to listen to the record in full. In contrast to New Day Rising, which is never far from my stereo and gets a lot of plays on my itunes, it's an album that I recommended to friends, yet when I'm asked about Zen Arcade, I can't give it the credit other's can.

I have no real idea or can't give any reason why I don't like it, I just don't. Am I alone in this or is it something that's split for people that like Husker Du...or is it, dare I said it, overrated?
