Since the 80s, I have loved all the Art of Noise albums except for one: "In No Sense? Nonsense!" I had always felt that it was a complete walk-away from everything artful and good that they had ever done.
So why is it that I suddenly hear it as a completely different album, and can't seem to get enough of it? That I find "Opus For Four" actually the richest, most textured of that entire series of works?
One might ask if I also had a dislike of "The Seduction of Claude Debussy" the first time I heard it. Yet, no; I emphatically loved that album and was mesmerized from the first spin. Still, no love lost back then for Nonsense.
Until now.
Funny how that happens sometimes.

Agree with you on Nonsense not being among my favorites (though I think I appreciated it more than you back in the day), but I still can't stand Opus for Four.
