what do you think? personally, i prefer between 45-50 mins rather than 60-70 minute albums which drag on forever. |
||||||||
|

|
|
Perfect album length = 12" |

beat me too it |

40-45 minutes of all-killer-no-filler or a double album worth of nonsense. |

i love vinyl, but it's a shit format for albums imo. |
||||||||
|
|

45-50. yeah even if it's bloody great it just dosn't suit me for it to be much longer. why is that? |
||||||||

Vinyl is the best format for albums. CDs and MP3 encourage track skipping and shuffling. With vinyl you're more likely to listen to it in the order it should be heard, which can't be a bad thing. |

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY I AGREE WITH YOU. NOW,WHERE IS MY MIX MOTHERFUCKER.... |

following your reasoning there is an even more perfect format tape |

things i hate about vinyl albums: flipping the record over spoils the flow, especially if its a 2x12" album. depending on the cutting engineer, it can sound like complete ass if they try to fit a 60 minute+ album onto a single 12". the brown pressing of SAW2 is a good example, though in a way, the utterly butchered sound on this version also has its own charms... the usual vinyl limitations. tracks closer to the run-out will always sound poorer than those on the outside of the record, etc.. things i love about vinyl albums: the artwork. the smell. |

depends on the style, like : techno/electro : i like short records more (xpt : more songs about food etc), so EPs works better for that style. maybe. ambient/drones : huge tracks are appreciated (eno, pan sonic) |

around 40 is my personal preference. not to say i don't like longer albums, but i generally get a little bored when it's over an hour :S |
||||||||

albums that fill a CD and go for around an hour and twenty minutes. you'll be listening to 40 minutes or so, which is a good albums lenth, and you still have another half an hour. it's insane. |

51 mins 27 seconds 12 songs perfect |

you know, a good album is usually around 45-60 minutes, thats fine. but when artists like ae, murcof, sp, boc, plaid, bola or any of my other faves come out with an album, i just would like the most pressed into a cd as possible. which is like 1 hour 17 minutes right? cause then after i hear it once i always skip around anyway.. the more the better in that case.. |

Depends on the album and the flow of songs. Slint's Spiderland has the perfect length. |

the only cd i can think of where i truly feel the timing is perfect (in terms of duration of tracks/whole cd) is come to daddy |

BLESS THE MINI ALBUM |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
Or compilation of two singles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ergo the perfect length of a vinyl album is that of two CD singles. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but what if the single is the orb - blue room?? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if i'm paying full sticker price for a CD/album it better be at least 35 min! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I'm going to listen to Pink Moon. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
between 5.5 and 7 inches |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
definitely 40 - 45 mins (i.e. a 12"). most good albums are ordered as two sides. Abbey Road is the perfect example :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
for all my favorite artists- 70 min. I like the getting the most possible music. for the average wanky idm im fine with 40 minutes though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Which also had a CD 2.... The Orb though, you'd be asking "What is the perfect quadruple album length?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
9-12 tracks |
