Those are the two I noped out of when I saw how long they are. Honestly, I think it's stupid to put an album on with the express purpose of sleeping through it. You don't experience it in any meaningful way.

I am even less likely to listen to it one 80-minute-track at a time as I am to ever listen to it at that length.

8 hour albums are pretentious and stupid, but there are drone artists who've made albums that are years long. Like these *******s. What's the point of writing music that nobody will ever listen to?
Ah, Bull of Heaven! I ran into them thanks to, well, I'll let you figure out who it was. I agree though: this kind of music is surely a result of a lack of discipline and restraint: I'm sure many musicians would like to make songs and albums much longer than they do, but you do have to take into account that people need to put the time aside to hear the music, and who has that kind of time? As they say, learn to trim the fat.

And here he comes...
