Like i've found that long albums are a challenge to get to the end.. for example Arcade Fire's The suburbs album goes for like an hour and 10 minutes. I find it hard to listen to the same artist for long periods of time... like some people really don't like X & Y due to the fact that it is a very long album... but everyone has their own opinion about that kind of stuff, i can see myself loving this album none the less
Aha, I get you now. I think that if the album has coherence and cohesion, there's nothing to worry about. Moreover, there's no need to listen to albums in a row. You can do one half album now and another half later today or maybe tomorrow... I don't worry for that. And moreover, in today's music singles and standout tracks are much more important that album's coherence and unity, so general audience won't give a damn if the album is too long or not: they'll just download a few songs and scrap the rest. Sad but true
I'm really looking forward to hearing the wholde thing. Thanks for that
