The TMBG album I mention above actually had a similar effect, only much accelerated because I've only had it for a few days. But my first reaction to both was "oh, yeah, I guess this is pretty good... a little underwhelming" and then after a certain number of listens, I'm like, wait, which were the songs I didn't like?

I can see the new one as their best record in part because it's a little more concise and unified -- the other ones (I haven't heard the first one yet either) all have a few too many songs, each seeming like they're about to end several times before they do. Forests has a real build to what feels like a real final track. From "Top Banana" on out it's just great (and I love some of the earlier songs too).
I actually just re-listened to some of the EP because I burned it to a CD for the first time (so I could re-rip "Washington" to put it on a mix CD). The album version of "Woah!" is somehow much better.
