In Chicago we have a tired old joke - if you don't like the weather, just wait 15 minutes.
DA's recordings are sort of like that. If one recording is not your speed, try the next one - no guarantee you'll like it, but it would definitely be different.
Unfortunately, it works both ways. When you really like a recording, don't get used to the sound, you just hold your breath and hope you'll like the next one in a different way.

Funny, that's the same exact thing we say in northern michigan. Regardless, that is a very good theory and it is one that I myself have used over the years when it comes to music.
In a way, I get kinda happy if I don't like something the first time around because more often than not, when I do come around and understand the album a little more, it usually becomes one of my very favorite albums.

I'm still waiting to see if DA has a mission statement before I buy ANY of their music (except Shotgun Angel, which sounds like the Eagles, which is why it's so good!)

I have Bibleland on tape. I didn't like it at first, which was pretty much how I felt about all DA until the last few years.
Insert your groan here.
I started with all these bands with "Pray Naked", and then "LRRH", both of which I wore out playing. When a friend and I went to see the Dogs in '96, they didn't have any CD's left at the merch table except DA, which my friend and I quickly refused. We also whined that there were too many "Terry" songs on Green Room Serenade. He, too, wasn't a DA fan. Still really isn't too much.
My, how things have changed. Now, my wife and I are trying to get everything that Terry's ever done. I still love the 7's and the Dogs, too, of course. "Horrendous Disc" is what changed my mind about the whole thing. I dug out my Bibleland tape a couple of years ago, after years of not touching it, and, wouldn't you know it, I love it.
Now if I could only get it (and the rest of the catalog) on CD...
When's that "Darn Floor" reissue coming out?

Sorry. In the future, my posts will be more like early Stonehill, Keith Green, early Second Chapter, early Resurrection Band or early Jacobs Trouble

Yup. For her birthday a few years ago she wanted to see the Dogs.
So, we did. Now, everytime any of the dogs are in the area in any combination, we go, even if it's several hours away.
Her favorite: Gift Horse
We both sing the songs, and we switch between melody and harmony. We're music geeks.

I played LRRH for my wife when we were still dating and she said,
"Is this U2? I thought I liked U2, but I guess they kinda suck!"

I have it on tape too
I wish I had it on Vinyl, but I don't think that ever happened.
Motorcyle would be cool on vinyl, too, as would MBD, Kalhoun and Songs of the Heart!
I'm gonna listen to it again tomorrow! (BibleLand that is! 
)

The first time I listened to Bibleland I thought it was aweful. It sounded like a mess. But I played it a few more times and then all the sudden it just clicked and all the sudden I "got" it. Seems like albums that stretch me this way end up being my favorites.

^Me too. With most of my favorite records, I don't "get them" right away, most of the time.
