I've done that, where all I've listened to was a boxed set, and that doesn't really bore me or bother me at all, as long as the music doesn't suck.

You should see me on bandcamp, I make sure every album I download is at least 20 minutes long, I check through all of the songs and skip through the contents quickly to see if there's anything unique/worth downloading about them. I don't even bother listening to EPs unless the music is exceptionally good, and the length should still be more than 10 minutes.

Yeah, but is there really any need for a grindcore album longer than ten minutes?

Well like I said, it isn't really something that needs to be, but a preference. I don't really care what the genre is, not too sure what would be different about a grindcore album.

I think this difference is that a band like Gridlink packs as much composition into ten minutes as most bands pack into forty-five.

I guess, but most bands suck. Either way, all the more reason to have a 20-30 minute album. It's not as if it's literally lasting as long as a 90 minute album.

Longer albums literally give you more value, so IMO more length is always a better thing. After that, it's about the actual quality of the music. It ain't rocket science or anything. It's a pretty basic concept IMO. If you combined Amber Grey and Orphan, would the actual quality of the music be affected in any way? I don't think so. It would just be easier to get all 21 minutes worth of music.

Well, like I said before, the new Gridlink album is 22 minutes so you should check it out.

Until then, I'll just listen to Amber Orphan.

I think they release those two as a single album especially for you.
