GoatmasterGeneral given a Damn from MarkhantonioYeatts in What Are You Listening To?
Yeah it's completely badass. I rember being happy to see another album from them the following year but then being bitterly disappointed that it just wasn't nearly as good as the debut. It's been quite awhile since I've listened to it though, guess it's about time to give it another shot and try to keep an open mind.
Bastard Priest - Ghouls of the Endless Night, 2011
Funny, I haven't heard either Northern or Sailing the Seas, but I have the two albums in the middle, Beyond the North Winds 2008 and Godsaga 2010. I always thought they were both pretty good, I just don't play them very often because of their lack of any evil killer caprine atmosphere. I'll have to check out Northern sometime to see their progression.

While we're still on the subject of album lengths, this is a textbook example of a "long" album (65 minutes) that doesn't feel long at all.

GoatmasterGeneral given a Damn from Serpentboi1992 in What Are You Listening To?
I do have some longer albums that I love and I don't even notice how long they are while I'm listening to them. So it's not a rule or anything that I won't buy albums longer than 50 minutes. If I like it then I like it, and I'll probably buy it at whatever length it is, I just might not always be able to make it to the end. Being ADHD I do find it hard to stay focused on one album for much longer than an hour or so, maybe 70 - 75 minutes at the absolute most. Which I know makes no sense because how many times will I listen to 8 albums in a row one right after another? Even sometimes multiple albums from the same band back to back. Seems there's just something about starting a new album and changing up the sounds I'm hearing that lets me stay fresh and interested.

GoatmasterGeneral gave a Damn to JonoBlade in What Are You Listening To?
With all due respect, that approach is insane. "Value for money" doesn't work with music.
Are you saying you'd recommend this new album to a new listener wanting to discover Megadeth over Peace Sells (running time 36:12)?
Who would ever choose Book of Souls over Number of the Beast?
My approach of dismissing long albums can likewise be a bit shortsighted, but it has been a good yardstick based on empirical evidence.
You might get good value going to see Return of the King at the cinema, but your kids will be clawing their eyes out with boredom praying for it to end already by the closing credits. A more adept filmmaker would have edited it to a better paced final cut.
Same with music. A good producer will distil an album down to its strongest and most succinct assault. A weak producer will let the band have their way.
Release extended/extra tracks in special editions for avid fans.
The reason I harp on about this shit is because I genuinely think many albums would be stronger and enjoyed more by the listener if they were trimmed back. It even makes good business sense, because you can sell the album twice with bonus tracks at a later date.
