I assume that you can't be a Tool fan...
I am a huge Tool fan, they are probably my second or third favorite band right now. I loved Aenemia the first time I heard it. I was hooked after 3 songs. That BH album was so hard to listen to and so bad IMO that I have no need to listen to it twice.
Normally I listen to something a few times before it grows on me. I had to listen to the UYi albums a few times before they really grew on me, same with Contraband. But I usually know from the first listen whether or not that is going to happen. I could tell from my first listen of Population Override that I wouldn't like it no matter how many times I listened to it just like I'm sure I could tell from my first listen of a Justin Timberlake CD that I wouldn't like it (if I could even bring myself to listen to it in the first place). BH's album was mostly just improvised noise IMO. There is nothing particularly deep about it and each song sounds like the other.
Not sure how you can assume I don't like Tool because I don't care for BH's solo records?
