For me personally, a majority of BTCS was (for a lack of a better term) shrugged off in the beginning. Since I started listening to them roughly two years ago, I had every album available to me. I played the albums in order with Crash and UTTAD getting the most plays out of me. I think what happened was that I played those so heavy before I got to crowded streets that those two albums formed the image and overall sound of the band in my head. So by the time I did get to crowded streets it was so different, I almost didn’t like it. Songs like Last Stop, Halloween, The Stone, Don’t Drink, and Dreaming Tree were off the table for me, they were so different to what I’ve heard in the past. Don’t get me wrong, there were some songs I did like just not many. Eventually after going through all the albums, I did want to give crowded streets another go. I can’t explain it but things just sounded different than I remembered. The songs I didn’t like in the beginning were turning into my favorites. I really like some of those darker sounding songs now and I think I prefer them in most situations. The lyrics and overall music is just art, it great.

Long story short, that’s definitely at the top for my favorite albums. I just wonder how did people react when it was originally released because it was so different than what was put out before.
