What's the optimal number of tracks on an album and why is it 7
Do people actually care about this?

It's 10-12
7 is a mini album
>>66063415
but Yes has a double LP with 4 tracks
13
>>66063327
1000

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.

>not 4
Stop being a fucker.

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

>7 is a mini album
There are albums with 10 songs that total to 6 hours in length.
Actually it's 11

i dont care what you think about the music, but DSOTM is a perfect album in its format

Well those are just drone wankers, no person in their right mind would release a 6-hour album of good, varied material
