Honestly? If your album is over 20 minutes, just throw it the trash bin.

>not 45 minutes
>laughing_whores

Short albums are best

40 & 45 minutes are good, but even less is best.

At least 6 hours

Who /53min/ master race here?

There are VERY few albums over 45 minutes that cannot be improved by cutting it down to that length (40-45 minutes).

>>71485137
I used to like longer albums when I was young, but now I just find them overblown and excessive.

somewhere between 35-45

Classic example of making a great album into a shit one by forcing your shit tracks into it

>>71485536

Whatever length this is.

Doesn't fucking matter

doesn't matter, you can have a long album (1hr+) that is still boiled down to the best tracks.

>35-45 mins if single album
>~90 mins if double album
these are the only acceptable lengths. Any good album that has some other length is good in spite of its length, not because of it.

>tfw listened to and loved this like a week before the shilling began and now i can't talk about it
it is a good length desu

>>71486104
not even a full length album,
eps don't get attention because they could never realistically reach those highs

Any size is acceptable as long as the best tracks add up to at a minimum of 15 minutes

>>71484829
If it's over 51 minutes then you should kill yourself

>>71484829
You answered your own question, mang. Vinyl runtimes were perfect, especially with the gap between sides

9999999999999999999999999 million minutes

>>71484829
Between 35 and 42 minutes for a regular lp
between 70 and 80 minutes if it's a double lp.

>>71487160
ur coooool

46 minutes is optimum

But, Anons, Genesis - Foxtrot is literally the perfect album and it's 51 minutes.

>>71486868
desu

I don't understand how you can assign something like "album length necessity"
there are some 40 min albums that are half filler and 60+ min albums that have no filler at all

>>71484829
30-39 is my ideal
I like having less than 10 tracks

13 minutes

>>71491840
you're completely right, this thread is really stupid

>>71489834
didnt mean it in a hipster sense

just meant somebodys been spamming it so much that you cant mention it without backlash

I usually listen to house and techno sleep albums tend to be more like mixes so I like them be 2 hours and like taking an epic journey

>8 tracks
>2 hours long
fucking christ gira

>>71484829
Albums need to be anywhere from 35 to 45 minutes or they risk having more shit songs on them.

Anything longer than 10 songs gets on my nerves.

>>71484894
go back to sugar radio you attention-span-of-a-smash-mouth-listener fuck. You probably couldnt last through a double album before your nuts shrivel up

40-45 minutes but with reissue bonus tracks bringing the total length to around an hour.

>>71493370
You would love The Who Sell Out. 38 minutes, but the cut bonus tracks bring it up to an hour and 15 minutes. 10/10 either way.

>>71484829
38 and 41 are objectively the comfiest times.

When the album is over an hour long.

I've been loving short albums lately, myself. There's something about a 20 minute album that I can just listen to over and over but once they start getting up to an hour it better be damn impressive

Oddly enough, The Who Sell Out is one of my favorite albums. Good call, anon.
