The rotors probably rusted and accumulated a bunch of cruft from not
being used. First applicationof the brakes wiped it all off and coated
the pads with it.
Clean the pads and rotors with some brake cleaner and then sand pads
in a figure 8 to roughen up the surface a bit and remove any oxidation
that may have formed on them.
