I know i'll probably get crucified for saying this: i love the new album but come on, no song should EVER be under 2 minutes on a full lenght album. I might aswell listen to the 'Intermissions' on the Offspring albums. i know you'll all say that who cares how long the song is if its good..well i do.

It's like Weezer's green album which was a lil under 30 mins i think, great cd but come on..add some riffs or something!

just my two cents biggrin.gif

So wait, you'd rather have longer, less good songs than brilliant short ones? Because seriously - these songs would be less good when longer.

I guess yes i'd rather have a couple minutes more, i guess it's just i want more bang for my buck tongue.gif
it's like a friend said to me when i complained about Radiohead's Kid A album which i think had only 10 songs, he said 'would you rather have 10 great songs or 10 great songs and 3 okay ones' i said i wanted 13 songs heh tongue.gif

where's that in the album rulebook? huh.gif rolleyes.gif

to try and add longer intros/outros/verses/guitar bridges with no purpose except to lengthen a song is lame. craig intended for the songs to be what they are, and i personally respect his vision of that. i really ruley do. wink.gif

Short and sweet. tongue.gif
All it does is make you wanna to it listen again..and again. But then again, a vines song doesnt have to be short to make you wanna hear it again. wink.gif
