Can Length Ruin An Album?

sidewinder · 09-17-2009, 11:26 AM

Yeah! I agree too! I only shuffle when I don't anticipate having time to listen to a full album, or if I'm sitting at home bored and indecisive...usually not knowing how long I'll be at the computer.

Otherwise...all albums, all the time!

Hehe. I usually have the discography of a bad if I like them that much. So I'll pick one album.

I know I was thinking yesterday about how long one of The Cure's albums was. I don't remember which I was listening to.

It wasn't a complaint, though, just an observation.

Same here...but I'm still indecisive when I'm at home sitting in front of so many options. At work I just have my 8GB iPod so there are fewer options, and I usually load it with what I want to hear for the day.

Yeah I was playing Three Imaginary Boys the other day and it felt really long actually. But part of it was that the material isn't all that good.

Speaking of the Cure, Disintegration is a really long album that I think is pretty much perfect the length it is, though they could possibly have dropped the last song.

=P That's the album I was talking about.

It's such a good album, though.

I've never listened to that album. I don't think. But I know many of the songs on it. I just prefer the earlier dark stuff...Seventeen Seconds, Faith, and Pornography. I should eventually listen to some of the middle-era albums.

I found the album kind of dark in itself.

You've never listened to Disintegration?

I am officially revoking your goth card.

I didn't know I had one.

But yeah I know most of the songs, and I wouldn't be surprised if at some point I heard the whole album at a friend's house or something. But never on my own. I wasn't into them in the 80s or early 90s...late 80s I was still into glam rock and transitioning into metal, then industrial...wasn't until closer to the mid 90s that I took more interest. Obviously I was aware of them and singles in the late 80s...but it wasn't my thing at the time.
