Album is longer than 45 minutes

>album is longer than 45 minutes

>album is shorter than an hour

>'album' is 35 minutes
Might as well call it an EP.

> Album is a concept album
> It's 1 hour and 43 minutes long.

I really fucking hate long albums but for some reason my top 2 albums are like 2 hours long each

The majority of times 1 hour + just means that nothing got cut because the artist thinks they're hot shit.
Except sometimes they are hot shit.
Then it's actually good.

>>album is no longer than 45 minutes
>>double lp
>>>album is 1 hour
>>>double cd

>album is under 45 minutes but has 20 tracks

>1 track is over 30 min

those are the best albums

>it's a "contractual obligation" album

Yeah I get you're mad at the studio but there is no reason to release a shitty album to just fulfill your contract.

Back in the '90s, it was common for bands to write one too many bad/filler songs for an album because people would feel ripped off if the CD was below a certain length. Then people realised they were getting ripped off by purchasing an album with maybe 3 good songs and a load of crap. That's how Napster got so popular in the first place.

what are you 8?

>release is over 40 minutes
>artist calls it an EP

Yea...8 inches....soft

>Album is less than 20 minuets and not called EP
I'm looking at you, Joyce Manor...

>he hasn't listed to any pre-1965 albums

I'm kind of glad they do that, they're a band that could easily pump out 35 minutes of music on an album but it would be half shit but luckily they have the restraint to make sure everything is up to snuff. It's also weird to call something with 10+ tracks an EP

>band active for 10 years, has 3 albums 2 eps and 1 single under its belt
>all of that comes to 60something minutes

What band?

>not listening to punk music

>drone album is shorter than 3 hours

>The band release a God Tier EP and do nothing ever again

FUCK YOU STELLA LUNA

Daughters

Actually active for 15 years and only 1 ep

>listening to """"""albums"""""""

Rockists need to leave

>actually listening to over 3 hours of drone and pretending to enjoy it

>music player lists song as 9 minutes
>'hidden track'
>field recording

>band releases debut album
>it's 11 minutes long

Hiphop is still like that.

>great band
>releases an album every six years

Would you rather have them be a shit band that releases music more often?

idiot

>album is great
>under 40 minutes long
>there's nothing else that's even slightly similar to it

>OP has shit attention span

this

It's even worse now that rappers are expected to churn out three mixtapes a year now

>tfw tons of current rappers could have released focused, cohesive, consistent 9/10 modern classics that will be on "Best of the 2010s" lists but threw that all away to make shit mixtapes for the sweet $$$

>Band active for 40+ years
>Their debut is their best album

>EP is 2 hours long

this

>album is under 45 minutes but has 40 tracks

>hit single as opener
>rest of album is garbage

>album is exactly 44 minutes

seconded

Commercial Album

>not listening to 101 songs in 49 minutes

>album is shorter than 20 minutes

>STOP ENJOYING MUSIC DIFFERENTLY THAN I DO WAAAHH

>hidden track is attached to the final track
Fuck you ween

>"EP" is 50 minutes
Might as well call it an album.
