As someone who quite like short albums , I think 30 minutes is fine , you know . I ' d rather listen to a good 30 minutes album that ' s tight and straight to the point than a double LP where half the songs are out of place or feel tedious . I think that ' s the thing really with double albums , I don ' t know about being doomed if it sucks but it ' s certainly best if you ' re confident it ' s good , it flows well , it doesn ' t feel too long or whatever . What you could too is do your 1 LP and with the remaining material make a couple EPs or even a few singles . It could even serve you well when communicating about your stuffs putting out singles and EPs over a certain period of time and making sure to mention that there ' s a whole album on the work , hopefully gaining some attention all the while .
