33 to 39 minutes is the shit.

No, as much as I'd like to totally believe that's the rule, it's all about
how many songs there are.  (using albums mentioned already) "I Care Because
You Do...." & "Richard D. James Album" are both a great length because they
have 12 & 10 songs respectively.  That's a really good amount, a good
amount to be able to pay great attention to in one sitting.  I think going
as high as 20 songs is okay for short albums, under 40 minutes, but that's
about as far as you can go, I think.
