once you’d played it a few times and you were walking round...

"Here’s the record, Ian, what do you think?” We put it on and I’m going, “Yeah, pretty cute, yeah.” It was one of those things where it was kind of a transitional, kind of different to what you expected. But once you’d played it a few times and you were walking round with little doubts or lingering things in the back of your mind, next thing you were f*****g singing the songs".

I can't get the logic-first he had played it a few times and then he was having doubts? And why did he say "pretty cute" if from the context he says that he didn't appreciated the record? Thanks,

What does "next thing you were f***ing singing the songs" tell you?

Thanks.

Even after playing it a few times, you had some doubts about it. However, before you knew it, you were singing along. I don't know where you got the idea he didn't appreciate it. The fact that he was singing along shows that eventually enjoyed it. I'd describe something like this as a "slow burn".
