Plenty of albums that break this rule for me, but in general I like an album to be shorter. I legitimately like Deep Purple even more just because they've released thirty minute albums with only seven songs on them. Easy to digest in one sitting. So a ten minute album is fine by me.

I don't mind 10 minute albums, I just wish they were longer because you get more value from a 20-25 minute album. Playing 2 albums barely even makes up the length of one normal album. As far as exceeding that length, I really don't care. I can listen to the same artist for as long as I'm awake in a day if I want. I've done that, where all I've listened to was a boxed set, and that doesn't really bore me or bother me at all, as long as the music doesn't suck.
You should see me on bandcamp, I make sure every album I download is at least 20 minutes long, I check through all of the songs and skip through the contents quickly to see if there's anything unique/worth downloading about them. I don't even bother listening to EPs unless the music is exceptionally good, and the length should still be more than 10 minutes.
