The first few times I listened to Feared, I was like "meh". Liked each new album lesser and lesser. But then I noticed myself secretly headbanging Ola's riffs. I found Vinter to be the "#1 meh" amongst his albums but you tend to think shit when your nether region has been blown off by the metal assault, as one would discover later lol.
Similar first reaction to Synder but after a month or so, I'll "get it" and recognize it for its true worth.
Also, I really really hope we see Solar part 2 and/or the second album for 2015!
