Let's say it's a band of a common style (like melodeath, death metal, powermetal) with songs around 4 to 5 mns.
How many tracks do you like an album to be ?
Because I tend to get bored after like 7 or 8 songs, and I don't like an album to be more than let's say 40mn. Metal is so fast usually that it's just too much information for my brain.
On albums of 11 or 12 tracks, I rarely listen to it from the beginning to the end, I mean, actively.
I'm asking this to myself and to you because I'm currently writing an EP, and as my songs are quite long (6/7mns easily) I may think a 4 song EP being a bit too long and becoming to be too close to a full length album (supposedly with all 7mn songs).
