I dig the longer ones when I'm driving, but I can always pick up where I left off no matter where I listen to music thanks to technology.
I agree the album experience is like nothing else, which is why I listen to albums. I just prefer the tight feel of a 45-50 minute album, and I feel that longer ones have a tendency to have a little filler here and there. Trimming the fat on some of these albums (even the slightest amount) could turn a 4.5-star album into a 5-star one. And yes I can pause an album and pick it back up later, but I usually prefer to do it in one sitting, and sometimes grow impatient. My attention span isn't what it used to be...even if it's a great album.

I'd love to see your signature/links too, but the huge and obnoxious ones have caused me to block all signatures.
