I'd take album B. Sure, it may be "too long" and have some stuff I'm not wild about...but I'm 2 good songs richer, as far as I'm concerned.
Basically, I'm okay with an artist putting more on, even if the "extra" is mostly not that good. Whatever IS good, I benefit from. Whatever isn't, I can ignore in future.

I agree with you although I think I could possibly pick B and still say that overall, A was the stronger album. It's just nitpickings about what makes an album good and I think the parts that don't shine pull the end result down a bit. I know I do put more weight on the good tracks though (probably human nature), but I sometimes try to at least minimize that slight human error
