So in case you didn't know, Avril Lavigne's new album Goodbye Lullaby has been my favorite album of the 2010's ever since the day it came out nearly a year ago (don't make fun of me, that's not what this thread is about). That got me to thinking about albums I adored (meaning "top-100 caliber") on day one.

Well, it turned out that the list was really small. In fact, the last album that I adored on day 1 was Avril's last album in 2007.

So I wanted to ask you guys, have there been any albums that you've loved since the day they were released? If so, which ones?

I don't think I've ever heard an album the day it was released. Maybe I should try that in 2012!

El Camino, Tao Of The Dead, Pedals, Baby 81, Diamond Eyes, Rather Ripped to name a few...

i think hot chip's "one life stand" in 2010 was the last for me and probably radiohead's "in rainbows" in 2007 before that. it's rare for me to completely love an album from the first listen and on.

Perverse - Jesus Jones
The Great Escape - Blur
(What's the Story) Morning Glory? - Oasis

I don't remember NOT loving Mellon Collie, but listening to Mellon Collie is pretty much one of my first memories anyhow.

Asleep In The Nack and The Colour Of Spring both were instant loves. I guess there was prior listening of the bands beforehand but still are mainstays on my chart. Frank Ferdinand was another that I loved pretty much straight away.

The only albums I can distinctly remember listening to on the day of their releases are Hypnotize by System of a Down and A Dramatic Turn of Events by Dream Theater. The latter's pretty good, though not DT's best by a long shot. The former is one of my favorite albums overall, though only my 3rd favorite of SOAD's 5 albums. I just love Toxicity and Mezmerize that much, I s'pose :/

I guess Hypnotize would be my answer, then. It was a masterpiece when I first heard it and is today still one of my favorites.
