I have a soft spot for long pieces of music. Think twenty minutes and then some, like Octavarium (Dream Theater, 24 minutes sharp) or The Greatest Show On Earth (Nightwish, 24 minutes sharp). Or even music that must be listened by the whole disc, or maybe even the entire album. Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence (Dream Theater, more than 40 minutes), All The Works Of Nature Which Adorn The World (Nightwish, just over half an hour), The Theory Of Everything (Ayreon, easily an hour and a half), stuff like that.
Let's just say that I need to make time to listen to it.
Rush - 2112 - 21 minutes and some change
Jethro Tull - Thick as a Brick - more than 40 minutes
Keygen Church - Bullug Gegbug Ibgabiug Gixcure Dagabciea Fuic - 18 minutes
And I definitely agree. It's hard to over listen to songs you have to make time for. Lol
I agree a lot with this sentiment. I think my favourite piece of music to sit down and listen through is The Wall (Pink Floyd, 80 minutes).
I have it on vinyl and it takes effort to set up the amp and get it going. But also, I feel like it adds to the experience. The warmth, crackling and popping all make my brain happy. Plus it has crescendos timed with when you have to stop and flip or change the vinyl.
And if anyone recognises Ayreon and thinks "hey, that's prog metal opera, right? Surely the entire discography is to be listened by the album, right?" to you I say: Well yes but actually no. The Theory Of Everything is uniquely geared to being listened to as an album. Most other albums have songs that stand on their own, and are merely improved by listening by the album.
