The Loooooooong Album...

As we near completion and release of our new and final album, we wondered if our record was really that much longer than other loooong albums. We couldn't help our selves, we had to find out. And so, this is what we found.

There is actually a band that released an album with 1000 micro tracks. Insane, right? Now, because of the limitations of vinyl, it can only hold so much information -as they are but one size- and that goes for CD as well. But of course, digital albums can be infinite in length.  So we compared our album to the Beatles White Album, Consisting of 30 tracks clocking in at over 93 minutes altogether, The White Album is The Beatles' longest by a significant margin.

There are actually quite a few classic rock albums that surpass the 90 minute mark, so that isn't too special I suppose. But, how many are longer than those longer rock albums? Well, lets take a look. Not too many classic rock albums go beyond the 93 minute mark, but a few from the 1990s do. For instance, The Smashing Pumpkins released Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, which was over 2 hours and 8 minutes. Most impressive. And there are other known an lessor known bands that also come in around that mark..and even longer. Such as Swans, Dream Theater, and even The Clash with their Sandinista! , which boasts an impressive 2 hours, 24 minutes and 9 seconds.

We may not beat The Clash, but our Black album beats the infamous White album by A LOT. I won't say how much longer ours is, but baby, we got length.
