This is making some significant assumptions, don't you think? That I sample the buffet does not mean that I don't also cherish and return to familiar recipes.

    I'm assuming you have a similar amount of free time as me and are not able to fit in enough listens to become familiar.

    I have no kids, no pets, and a job where I can listen to music the entirety of my shifts while working. I have music on in some capacity probably an average of 12 hours a day. 4 albums a week, even when listening to them each 6 six times, is a fraction of my listening.

    Music listening is my primary "hobby" and interest.

    In that case, what are your top 5 undiscovered gems that need 5+ listens to appreciate.

    What are the modern Captain Beefhearts?

    Dunno if I go actively searching for difficult music, so I may not have the best answer for that specifically, but here are 5 albums I consider hidden gems or underappreciated:

    Horse Bitch - RIP Pistachio

    Tattle Tale - Sew True

    Gaytheist - The Mustache Stays

    Codefendants - This Is Crime Wave

    Irist - Gloria (actually an EP, if you'll allow it).

    These probably won't take you 5+ listens to appreciate, but I do think they're smaller releases worthy of greater attention. Hopefully that's close enough for you. ✌️
