BleepBloop 10,316 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Something that I've seen being brought up a few times in the past week, were your hopes for the track count of our beloved LG6. And some of you really just want a behemoth of an album, which is puzzling tbh. I personally love short albums like MAGDALENE, Honey, Pop 2 and Melodrama. Typically a short album (8-12 tracks) has better pacing, zero to little fillers and perfect track ordering. That in turn gives it tons of replayability. While on the other hand there's hardly any long albums (14+) without fillers and pacing issues. Not to mention listening-fatigue! So, I've made this topic to hear your opinions on this!

Guest Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think 13 is perfect, but still I'd adore the longest album but COHESIVE Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAmNotHere1997 25,824 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I think we would like both at this moment of dehydration But if we're going for the short 8-tracks route, every song needs to be a 10/10 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubblegum Bitch 18,934 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I prefer albums with 12-16 tracks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
REALITY 76,971 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Anywhere from 12-14 songs is pretty good for me. I wouldn't necessarily want an 8 song tracklist, but hey, if every song on there was like the greatest thing she's ever created, I'd be fine with it.

Disnalex 1,941 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I feel like after waiting so long I would be disappointed with only 8-10 tracks. However, I would be ok with something as short as Joanne. BUT I would love to have 15 haha Gaga for Disney Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucas 27,181 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 12-14 if it has no fillers, like Madonna's discography before Hard Candy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dynamite 59,863 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 What's puzzling about wanting the music to last for as long as possible? Shorter albums generally means less fillers, yes, but they're over before you know it and then we're waiting 84 years for the next one.

brucee 1,690 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 station to station by Bowie is like 6 tracks but it's an album. Total length 37:57 hello hello baby. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NNES 5,868 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 11-13 tracks would be perfect! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A quality album with no fillers just brings bigger fulfillment in the long run Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And let's face it, whenever someone talks about 'an 8 track Gaga album', what they really mean is TFM pt. 2. And that's never gonna happen. It was a moment in culture that can/should never be replicated. It wasn't even an album in the first place. What gained it the reputation of an album is a set of cultural circumstances that are too vast to be repeated. So yeah, if she plans on doing an 8 track release she should call it an EP from the outset. If we're talking albums, gimme that standard 15+ track Gaga goodness and cut the minimalist crap. She does tend to have significantly less filler tracks than her counterparts (to none at all, depending on the album) and I'll take that gladly!

malazam 15,710 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 If it's cohesive and tells a story then longer. If it's just a bunch of edm songs ala you all know which album that lost itself then short cause it gets boring. another shot before we kiss the other side Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminati 15,922 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 As a stan I always want as many new songs as possible but short albums just ALWAYS turn out better and more cohesive. I hate when there's a hard skip song midway through and ruins the flow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryusei 61,110 Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 It depends on how good the songs are. If you have 18 great songs: amazing. If you have 10 great songs on a 10 track album also great. I've been really loving short albums as of late too though. They tend to be more all killer no filler whereas the difference between the strongest and the weakest track on an album with more songs tends to be much bigger Musery Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
