I'm rather new to /mu/ and the music community in general. I'm kind of struggling to quantify what makes a song album filler, so I would like some examples. The rules are simple:
1. Post an album
2. Post every song on that album you consider filler.
Starting with an easy album.
"filler" is just a pseudo-intellectual's way of saying "song on the album that I find boring and/or unremarkable"
Filler doesn't actually exist
Hope I've helped

I don't think that's strictly true. If you only have 30 minutes of music worth showing but your label demands 40 minutes then you could bang out a simple song.
My question is how people confidently call something album filler.
THEY only a filler if you aint a real niqqa

This is generally true with good albums. Top 40 albums are generally pure filler.
>Become Death
>Hit Factory of Sadness
>Tathagatagarbha
>One Hand Washed the Other
>The Cute
>No Now
>Now I Am
album would be an 8 or 9 if these tracks fucked off

Do labels actually demand certain lengths on albums?

>Track 4. "Pistol (A. Cunanan, Miami, FL. 1996)"
This fucking song almost ruined the entire album for me.

Horrible choice of album for this topic. I'll bet you consider the instrumental tracks 'filler'
mixtapes have a lot of filler
take this one for example
pretty much most songs on this one, along with some really high points tho

Back in the day, you had to cram as much crap onto the LP to justify pressing them

so you'd get shit like that.
