7 is a mini album
>>

this

what really matters is the length of the tracks, not how many there are
>>
10 tracks, 40-50 minutes
>>
>>66063415
my answer is similar

11 plus or minus two
>>
7-9 with a few exceptions.
>>
>>66063327
>not 4
Stop being a fucker.
>>
>>66063995

Aye

Bonus points for fairly uniform song length (no 20 minute behemoths flanked by throwaway 45-second "interludes")
>>
fuck off, all of you, it's the artist's choice as to how many songs he wants on his album. There are great albums with few songs and great songs with many
>>
7-10
Usually albums with more than 10 tracks have unnecessary filler.
>>
i like 40-50 minute albums with like 6 songs, like spiderland and the first bluetile lounge album

idk why
>>
>>66063415
>7 is a mini album
There are albums with 10 songs that total to 6 hours in length.

i dont care what you think about the music, but DSOTM is a perfect album in its format
>>
>>66066977
Well those are just drone wankers, no person in their right mind would release a 6-hour album of good, varied material
>>
>>66063518
So does Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
