How long do you like albums to be ?

[-Loco-]

I know quite a few women who will disagree.

Dangit. I wanted to get the first genitalia joke

I like em about 40-50 mins. I still like long ass songs if they're good 5-10 min.

 

[Torniojaws]

I don't care how long the songs are, the albums needs to be the full 70-80 minutes that is possible on the CD (or extremely close to it).

(...)

And if I can't listen to the whole album all the way through without getting bored, its not a good album nor good band that is worth listening to.

Imagine a 80-minute grindcore album For some types of music, even highest of high quality is simply too much for the full 80 minutes :zombie:

I don't think Reign In Blood would have the same impact if it was double the length. It's like a tornado that hits you and disappears before you even notice.

Length is irrelevant! Well said.

Whatever makes a complete work of art, is the length it needs to be. 30 minutes is enough for some, 2 hours is enough for others.

I prefer over 45 mins. At 45 mins I actually feel rather annoyed. I think back in the day, I was used to CD's being around an hour, but theres so many half hour CDs now and I feel like I'm getting ripped off. If it's solid from start to finish, why didn't you just threw in a few more to get my moneys worth?

Because everyone knows talent doesn't come by easily these days (unfortunately)

I'd rather be wanting more than having too much.

Haha I didn't think about that actually, I'm just imagining what a 80 minute long Rotten Sound album would be like

 

[jarenare]

In my band, we are discussing the songs to be included in our first album, and we have songs for 63 minutes so far... and we thing that its too short!

Masochist.

Cephalic Carnage - Exploiting Dysfunction is 74 minutes long and that's grindcore.
Granted there's a bunch of tracks that are silence before the secret track, but it still counts in the overall running time.
Fucking good CD too.

Definitely this.

 

[ThatGuitarGuy]

Keep in mind I really like progressive music too, specifically Dream Theater, and they tend to have a good amount of stuff to listen to.
