Really? It's weird for me to generally like the first half of an album and then think it goes on to long? And 55 minutes is way too long for a blues rock record, and if it's because there are too many songs well, then... there are too many songs...

I think it just depends on what you like. If an album is say 75 minutes long, but I love all the songs, then I am fine with it. If it is an hours worth of filler tracks, well, then I agree too many songs.

How many 75 minute albums do you love? The only albums I can think of off the top of my head that are over an hour long that I love are Blood Sugar Sex Magik and Double Nickels on the Dime, and those are the exceptions and not the rule...

This thing is 75 minutes long? I hadn't noticed. That's a good thing. It feels a little long, but not 75-minutes long.

I almost bought this album on vinyl today, but I wasn't too sure since I hadn't even listened to these guys before. Judging from the responses here, I think I made the right choice...I only want to spend my money on truly deserving albums. I think I will still download this guy, though.

Instead I went with the new Black Tambourine compilation and Siamese Dream (it being my favorite album, I figured I should probably have it on vinyl).

If you buy a Black Keys vinyl try to get one of their first three albums. Those were the ones recorded in like basements/abandoned factories around Akron and truly fit the vinyl sound...

55 minutes makes more sense. I do agree it could be a little bit shorter.

I really think there more of a live band. Watching the two of them play together is so much better than there recorded experience.
