Indeed. Been dealing with it for a few years on the cross side but yup...

OP - Just get new pads - clean the rotors with brake parts cleaner from the auto parts store. put your new pads on then get up to speed - 15-20+ mph then drag your brake slightly for a few seconds for the pads and rotor to warm up and then brake hard. Should be going fast enough that the rotors get at least 1-2 revolutions when braking hard. Do this 4-10 times and the pads and rotors will be bedded in and you'll be done.
