I like around 42 minutes. 42 is a good number to me.

The perfect length for an album is exactly 44 minutes and 17 seconds. Any more is too long. Any less is too short.

CDs are done. They're joining their ancestors, the eight-tracks and cassettes. Didn't you get the memo? Seriously, don't waste your time and money on physical media. It will be unusable in less than 5 years. And don't tell me it's because they offer better quality sound. Beta was better than VHS!

They may be outgoing but until they are gone I prefer CDs, their sound, jewel cases and booklets. I copy tracks that I want to my phone, computers, zip drives, etc. Record labels still will produce albums, perhaps MP3s, because they want us to spend more (buy more tracks).

According to my statistics, Black Sabbath's Paranoid, Michael Jackson's Thriller, and Jethro Tull's Aqualung are all 42 minutes.

Are these now the "best albums ever"?

I'll buy Apple tracks for 10 cents a piece or subscribe to a service like Spotify when it is available in Canada. The record labels can suck on it.
