    And then you keep playing it, the Mere Exposure Effect kicks in, and you start to enjoy the album. A prisoner of your own mind.

      Or did you actually, out of “nessecity” and being cheap, really LISTEN to it and realized that it probably was good and not give up on it and jump to the next thing after 20 seconds as you do today?

        No. It was Savage Garden’s self-titled album. There’s no way it’s actually good. The over-exposure broke my brain.

      TIL about the mere exposure effect! I’ve noticed this internally for myself, but didn’t know there was a formal name for this.
