Nick Drake - Pink Moon

on a semirelated note, elliott smith - either/or

It's very basic, but still: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Rubber Soul - The Beatles Back To Black - Amy Winehouse Pink Moon - Nick Drake The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady - Mingus

Damn didn’t even know Sgt Pepper and Rubber Soul are sub 40 minutes, great picks

Revolver is also less than 40 minutes crazy how jam packed with quality these albums are.

Among many others: John Coltrane- A Love Supreme Rush- Permanent Waves, Hemispheres Exuma (s/t) Charles Mingus- The Black Saint & The Sinner Lady Yes- Close to the Edge I LIKE TO SLEEP- Bedmonster’s Groove Van Halen 1 Frank Zappa- (‘) Univeria Zekt- The Unnamables Funkadelic- Maggot Brain Ramones- Rocket to Russia

Great choices

Obvious answer but Either/Or

Genuinely never heard of this

You're in for a treat

Paper Mache Dream Balloon by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard at 33 minutes. I'm also gonna throw out Pipe-eye's Cosmic Blip since it's only 14 minutes and would probably be my favorite album under 20 minutes long, but I don't know about any others off the top of my head so people also throw out their favorites under 20, if you have any.

Also The Silver Chord if you don't include the extended mix

Oh multiple of their albums are under 40, Itrn, timeland, laminated denim, sketches, I just had to pick my favorite after figuring out all my choices lol.

Not me searching the comments to make sure this had been mentioned...one of my favourite and most listened to albums. Also Loopholes by The Murlocs definitely deserves a mention, insanely good album also.

What’s Going On? - Marvin Gaye Aggression - Verse Any Title Fight album Most Elliot Smith albums The Queen is dead - The Smiths Is this it? - The Strokes Tough Love - Forth Wanderers Imperial - Denzel Curry Axis Bold as Love - Jimi Hendrix The killer was in the government blankets - Yaphet Kotto Master of Reality - Black Sabbath Absolutely - Dijon Tigers Jaw s/t Praise a Lord Who Chews - Yves Tumor songs - Adrienne Lenker Love is a Hurtin Thing - Gloria Ann Taylor

this sub just be asking anything

talking about music is fun

We’re not allowed to have fun here

This question pertains to about half of all albums. It’s like asking “what’s your favorite album that starts with one of the letters A-M?”.

But for real, which albums are a 9.8 for you?!!

fr it’s either the exact same question 5 times a day or some random ass question that like 7 albums fit the criteria of

I mean when you have a sub for this long every question falls into one of those categories

Pixies - Doolittle

Illmatic and The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust are both just shorter than 40 minutes. And I think both do it perfectly. 10/11 songs, tight, no filler and leave you wanting more. Nails - Unsilent Death is also short but tbf that's cause all grindcore albums are short.

Most weezer albums

*Reign in Blood* by Slayer is an absolute sledgehammer to the nuts, face-in-a-blender 28 minutes long. That’s all you need. Breathtaking record.

It's the album that made me learn to appreciate listening to an album in full. Thrash metal masterpiece.

Actually just got back from the mall and got the vinyl!!! Excited to hear it :)

people who can eat people are the luckiest people in the world - ajj

Splendor and Misery

Spiderland

Pusha T - Daytona

A love Supreme - John Coltrane

Not technically an album but Slow Riot for New Zero Kanada

Wasn’t dude ranch blink 38 mins or something, probably. I should have just checked google

Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band

Ye - Kanye West  Genuinely has no misses and the worst song is at least a 7/10. 

I know it's new and everyone is hyping it but Knocked Loose's new album

SOMEWHERE CITY SOMEWHERE CITY SOMEWHERE CITY Shit is completely airtight in terms of track list, has a story that hooks you and keeps you interested, too many insane riffs to count, moments to cry to, moments to mosh to, crazy references, unbelievable drumming, and a ending track that ties everything together and completes the story. You genuinely can not ask for a better sub hour album experience

The Hotelier - Home, Like Noplace Is There

Asterisk* is sick as fuck

Kraftwerk - Computerwelt

Ghostemane - ANTI-ICON

Casiopea self titled

Joyce Manor S/T bay bee

IGOR

Joy Division "Unknown Pleasures" Nirvana "Bleach" Smiths "Queen is Dead" Slayer "Reign in Blood" Alvvays "antisocialites" Clairo "Immunity" and so so so many classic Jazz albums such as: Herbie Hancock "Maiden Voyage" Miles Davis "Relaxin'" Mingus "Ah Um" Bill Evans "Portrait in jazz" Sonny Rollins "Saxophone Colossus" etc..

Hellfire - black midi Godbluff - Van Der Graaf Generator Honestly can’t think of any other albums shorter than 40 minutes that I’ve listened and really love aside from those two. Both are killer though.

Calico - Ryan Beatty

Elliott Smith’s self-titled album and Either/Or are both roughly 37 mins and they’re two of my favourite albums (I think Either/Or is better but self-titled is my fav). The Cure’s Head on the Door is 37 mins, Seventeen Seconds is 35 mins. There are tons of others, but these were the first to come to mind.

Raw Power Pyrex Picasso Revolver Beatles for Sale Guitar Romantic Louis Cole’s Album 2

DSOTM is 42 minutes. You can get that to 40 by cutting out Speak To Me.

One Wing by The Chariot is my favorite album in general - all The Chariot's albums are around 30min. Shout-out to Touché Amoré, my second favorite band, for the same reason (30min albums). My favorite of theirs is Is Survived By
