Albums over 45 minutes long can get fucked.

Type O Negative pulled off some great hour plus records. But yeah in regards to extreme metal that would be a bit tedious.

Actually my biggest beef with Type O Negative is their album lengths. They'd probably be one of my favourite bands ever if their albums were more tight.

Nooooooooooooooooo I'll be ok but I guess I get it.

It's heartbreaking I know.

But their first two albums are regardless, some of my favourite albums of all time.

I can extend the threshold to about 47 minutes if that helps?

Seriously, though, I love plenty of albums that exceed an hour, but I do have a better reason than most for generally preferring albums to be shorter.

In that case, I honestly agree with you. The success rate of 40-49 minute albums is much higher than that of 60+ minute albums. It's just more fun to talk shit...

You still forgot the I in Intellectual.

All of progressive rock would like a word with you

The entire Gentle Giant discography and the best Yes and King Crimson albums would like a word with you.

Garbage like Genesis and Pink Floyd are further proof that length is strongly correlated with shit.

size doesn't matter guys, just look at aug

Garbage like Genesis

What is your favorite Genesis song/album? I put on Foxtrot after making that post and it still fails to excite for the most part, and I'm listening to what I have noted as my favorite track (Get 'Em out by Friday) right now. They're just so dull. Prog rock with boring sense of rhythm is worthless. They might be better than Camel for their highlights, but they don't have anything as purdy as The Snow Goose either. Pretty much the Anthrax of prog rock.

this isn't related to the above convo but i'm curious about whether you'd like this stuff hbb:

I downloaded that album ages ago knowing it was one of your faves but haven't listened to it yet iirc.

Wait, LastFM says I've listened to it twice. I suck.

My absolute favourite Genesis album is definitely Trespass.

I feel like Magma had some indirect influence on black metal

Examples? Most Magma I've heard is really jazz-funky which is basically the opposite of black metal.
