Type O Negative would improve significantly as a band if they made 40 minute albums.

Worst. Post. Ever.

Worst. Post. Ever.

That's probably a compliment coming from you. Fucking 70 minute albums are retarded, fuck the advent of the compact disc.

 

[Krow]

Most albums over 50 minutes veer off into boring. Just give me the meat and potatoes. I don't need the fluff. I don't need a 10 minute instrumental track, I don't need you to play the entire song twice.

 

[CiG]

Always felt like all these unnecessarily long albums could chop 15-20 minutes off and release an amazing EP with the material. I love EPs.

 

[no country for old wainds]

my feelings on this are exactly the same as with movies; there's nothing inherently wrong with a long album, but the length has to be justified, and it usually isn't.

Ouch

 

[Slayed Necros]

Barathrum are one of the worst offenders when it comes to overly long albums. I would like Eerie so much more if it was 20 or even 30 minutes shorter.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Darkspace and Reverend Bizarre can do 70+ minute albums and I'm cool with it.

 

[CiG]

Reverend Bizarre is the only exception I'll allow for.

 

[requiem]

Less is often more when it comes to length. At least that's what I keep telling my wife...

The new Cobalt album is a 2 cd affair. I'm all for that, but then again they're not a one dimensional band and can probably entertain for the duration.

And what about that 2.5 hour Dødsengel album. Used to be all over the forums now it seems to be almost forgotten. It definitely is a little on the longer side of things.

 

[tagradh]

I listened to it two days ago.

By which I mean I listened to the hour or so of songs that I really like.

That's why new Dream Theater album sucks. It lasts over 2 hours. No one could stand LaBrie's vocals for so fucking long in one sitting.

I'm super reluctant to listen to it. Their catalog has been spotty since Train of Thought.

inb4 'LOL THEIR ENTIRE CATALOG IS SPOTTY'

 

[CiG]

First album is a gem.

 

[The Butt]

I just listened to all of Dream Theater's best music!

Best 10 seconds of my life!

 

[The Ozzman]

First album is a gem.

Yeah that's actually pretty good. I shall listen to that again today.

Most albums over 50 minutes veer off into boring. I don't need a 10 minute instrumental track.

Conjuration of the Spectral Empire ends with a 10 minute instrumental and it's glorious. Also Deathcult is pushing an hour and a lot of people here love that album.

Have you listened to many other Darkthrone albums @Ozzman? A Blaze in the Northern Sky will always be my favourite I think.
