EPs - how long is too long?
At what point does something go from being a Single > EP > Album?
(discounting bands who do particularly long instrumental stylee tracks where 3 tracks could feasibly be an album. talking in 'pop song' terms)
I reckon:
1-3 songs = a single
4-7 songs = an EP
6-8 songs could be called a 'mini album'
10 songs strikes me as the minimum reasonable length to call something an album
this leaves a psychological 'no man's land' of 9-song-long releases. guess how long my new record is?
Even '9 Red Songs' by Chris T-T actually had 10 tracks on it, and that was called a 'mini album'.
