[The Ozzman]

last thing I enjoyed from them was nothing

 

[The Butt]

I thought it was a cute little remark.

Yeah, I requested until end of January at the start of the thread but I 'finished' early.

1 - Eternal Champion - The Armor of Ire
2 - Sumerlands - Sumerlands
3 - Deströyer 666 - Wildfire
4 - Demon Bitch - Hellfriends
5 - Legendry - Mists of Time
6 - High Spirits - Motivator
7 - Tarot - Reflections
8 - Helstar - Vampiro
9 - Voivod - Post Society
10 - Vektor - Terminal Redux

I'm surprised by how much I enjoyed some of these albums. I'll be buying other albums by Vektor.

 

[Krow]

Vektor's been on my radar for a while. I have the debut and Terminal. Think I have Black Future and a second copy of the debut because mine is dented and skips on the way from Earache.

I like them but their albums are just too long for me to sit through.

 

[Pitiless Wanderer]

Same.

 

[Krow]

50 minutes to just over an hour is too long? Odd.

At this point in your life, it's measured in hours so I'm surprised you don't care more.

 

[Slayed Necros]

Albums over 45 minutes long can get fucked.

 

[Draehl]

Albums over 45 minutes long can get fucked.

 

[The Ozzman]

Albums over 45 minutes long can get fucked.

All of progressive rock would like a word with you

 

[Krow]

A lot of 70s prog rock guys were high as fuck and let shit drag on way longer than it even meant to be. PF was a really bad offender, sometimes their filler was just fucking noises.

 

[no country for old wainds]

most '60s and '70s albums would definitely benefit from being cut down to their best 45 minutes.

 

[CiG]

Agreed. Hour long albums piss me off. Obviously like with anything there are exceptions (Reverend Bizarre!) but since the advent of the compact disc, every dickhole thinks they're capable of making long ass albums.

Hip hop is one of the worst offenders with this.

 

[Dazed and Brutal]

Unless you're effectively communicating something high concept, it's just self-indulgent to surpass an hour. I feel like this was the main catalyst for the stylistic changes in the 80's.
