Is a 35 minute album considered a very short album?

Discuss
>>
Of course
>>
Medium-short
>>
It's short, but nothing special. Tons of albums run around 35 minutes.
>>
Yes but it's not the length that matters (hurr dick joke)
>>
>>65673786
I refuse to listen to any album shorter or longer then exactly 45 minutes.

Interesting viewpoints

>>65673846
agreed

there's too many albums out there to be tolerating any other lengths

45 minute albums and you're good to go forever
>>
>>65673869
No problem, I'm glad you like it.
>>
>>65673905
>>65673846
joking right?

It depends how long the songs are. If it is a 10 track CD then yeah, that's pretty short to me. But if it is a 5 tracker or something around that I consider it normal.
>>
>>65674208
nah

>>65674221
what about 9 tracks
>>
>>65674243
>nah
aoty prove me wrong
>>
>>65674259
okay

>it's not
>>
>>65673846
What if your favorite musician or whatever makes an album shorter then 45 minutes? Would u listen to it?
>>
>>65674243
My cutoff for a 35 minute album would probably be 9 songs. That's mostly 3 minuters with some 4 and 5ers sprinkled in, so yeah.
>>
>>65674347
good points
>>
I mean 30 minutes and under is considered an EP, so bearing in mind that most albums are somewhere between that and 2 hours in length, yes 35 minutes is very much on the short side. Also factoring in that albums of that length are more likely to be pleb garbage (not to say there isn't loads of brilliant material), I can imagine the mean length for great records being closer to 50 minutes.

>I can imagine the mean length for great records being closer to 50 minutes.
any examples?
>>
>>65674626
Of great records being long?
>>
>>65674665
yeah like 50 and longer
>>
>>65673786
good length for a punk or grindcore record
short for most other genres
>>
>>65673786
No. Joyce Manor "albums" are less than 20 minutes.
>>
>>65674819

>>
>>65674874
That's true.
>>
>>65674686

>>
