An hour and 9 minutes is like factually a very long album lol

 

It's less about what constitutes a long album and more about the weird lines people draw in the sand.

Like, one album's length is fine but just ten minutes more is too much.

 

Anything over 45 minutes constitutes a long album imo

 

but American Idiot is good. waddabadah?

 

Mort Michaels makes a "meep meep" noise and speeds off into the desert sun.

 

I mean, it's a long album, but it is definitely not a "I can't possibly listen to this in one sitting!" album.

I just think it's funny how people on this site talk about album length. Feels like every time an artist does a 10-song album I see people whining about it being "too short!" or "feeling like an EP!" What is the acceptable album duration?

 

I've never not finished 21CB in one go, but it does feel a lot longer than AI simply because of quality

 

I've heard short albums that felt long and long albums that felt short, so mileage varies, but I think most people would probably agree that around 45 minutes is the sweet spot.

 

I'd say the perfect album length is like 10-12 songs. The new Gaslight Anthem, for example, is the absolute perfect length in my opinion.

 

I would agree, but I’ve heard people complain about it being too short!

 

Local Honey is too short.

 

Yeah, agreed

 

When does Uno get bad? Havnt listened to this album in forever and have little recollection of it, but the first like 4 songs have been pretty good to me lol.

 

If 21CB is twelve minutes or whatever longer than Idiot, it's a problem mostly cause there's at least twenty minutes of filler on that album

Album lengths themselves don't matter if it's good all the way through, short or long.

 

Local Honey is a very well-paced 31 minutes. Perfect length for that album, imo.

 

I wish it was 6,000 minutes long

 

152 is on my list of well paced 31 minute albums

 

Yeah shoutout to Gaslight Anthem and Taking Back Sunday for creating two wonderful albums that leave you wanting more in a good way.

 

My album of the year this year is 16 minutes long. My album of the year last year was 68 minutes long. Great albums come in a lot of different shapes and sizes!

 

Kelsea Ballerini?

 

That's the one.

 

By the way look ma, no brains is catchy as fuck. It’s constantly stuck in my head

 

Easily the best GD song since 21st

 

Church on Sunday was my top song this year. definitely tracks, been absolutely obsessed with it for some reason
