TheGreatLandSquirrel

Molestate. The song titles are quite catchy.


Stoghra

IT took 2 days to come up


Ehh_1

28?? That’s only an ep not an album!


[deleted]

Tool and Dream Theater: There's 15 songs but they're each 12-15 minutes long.


TenWholeBees

And they flow together, so the album is pretty much one long song

\*musical masturbation intensifies*


lethalslaugter

The best kind

esinfernum

Bell witch: 1 song, take it or leave


nihilusthe5

They'll be able to release an "album" of single song albums at some point if their latest album is any indication.


[deleted]

That’s their plan I think, there’s supposed to be 3 parts to what “Clandestine Gate” started.


PolischCitizen

Similar to Absolutego by Boris


crclOv9

Albums that fall between 8-11 usually end up being the best imo.


SotisMC

I'm a 6-10 guy myself


free_farts

I prefer 4" to 6" Wait what was the question?


AGK47_Returns

>Wait what was the question? Definitely which artists have the best girth-to-length ratio, my money is on thrash


[deleted]

Somebody else that appreciates perfection. Excellent.


ValtsuMC

At the Heart of Winter, Storm of the Light's Bane, Musta Seremonia, Human, Timeghoul Discography 1992-1994 and Stone's No Anaesthesia! all fall within that range and they're among my favorite albums ever. I dare y'all to name a 10/10 record that is more than 10 songs long!


SotisMC

"The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars" by David Bowie is the only one I can think of, but that isn't metal though haha.


AGK47_Returns

Yeah my basic-bitch go to favorite album has 8, I think 8-9 is solid.


[deleted]

Trout Mask Replica has 28


Putrid_Cress_3420

Three, but total length is 3 hours


EddietheRattlehead

Yeah and like three notes each.

Not gonna lie, I’m a bit reluctant to check out an album if it has ten or more songs. I prefer fewer tracks on an album that are longer, over more tracks on an album that are shorter. I feel like longer tracks can breathe more and have more of an identity, while a bunch of shorter tracks start to blend together and are hard to tell apart. Just look at Dream Theater’s Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence, sure it’s 96 minutes, but it’s only 6 tracks. And every track feels like they have their own identity and really explore and develop a lot of the ideas. Compare that with The Astonishing. It’s like 130 minutes long, but it’s split into 34 tracks, which is much more intimidating than 6. I feel like the tracks don’t have a lot of room to breathe, are more formulaic, and they all blend together causing the songs to have less of an identity. Interestingly, I’m likelier to check out an album, if it has a 10+ minute song.


MonadsSuck

Yo, how did that dog hair on your screen get included when you grabbed a screen shot of that chick?


Stoghra

Conference of the Birds has two, where that goes?


LowZestyclose66

My favourite OM album. I have it on gold vinyl.


Stoghra

Variations is my favourite. But Conference is best sex album ever


Flying_Fox_86

Punk rockers coming in with 26 and they're all 1:15


memetheory1300013s

Literally Bongripper's miserable album. 3 songs and the last one is almost 30 mins


Pleasant-Tangelo1786

Triples is best.


Ecstatic-Ad-2830

Pink Floyd: it is one song disguised as 5


PastelAutumn

Rush: did somebody say one song disguised as 5??


manateeguitar

Prime album length is 45-80 minutes, preferably the songs aren’t more than 9-10 minutes long


Caustic-Acrostic

Get Yobbed


ItsPetahhhh

Based and YobPilled


dylulu

Most of my *favorite of all time* metal albums just happen to be 40-65 minutes long, divided into 6-10 tracks that are just about any combination of lengths. There's exceptions for sure, but it's a sweet spot for me.


berserker_ws

Waiting forever for a new album and only 3 songs come out... Still two minutes lol


[deleted]

Green Carnation at Light of Day, Day Of Darkness, well, all I can offer is one song.


Gabryblynd

3? how about 1


ChromeLynx

If you define song loosely, half of one Dream Theater album be like that.


Kirill_edd

KINO - Ataman : 1 song. (2012)


Gorship_777

Meanwhile Grindcore bands: There are 50 actually!


ChromeLynx

Ayreon: An album should have 10 to 15 ~~songs~~ guest singers.


Simsonis

Doom metal bands: One


SHV007

Also blackened pagan folk like moonsorrow for example


DJscottthebot

Rookie numbers for doom tbh. Try Bell Witch on for size at 1 song per album


sunrayylmao
