Best short album (under 35 minutes)
Its seems like most cd's/albums these days are between 35-45 minutes. What do you all think the best short albums are? For me
"Regin in Blood" Slayer
"Satisfaction Is the Death of Desire" by Hatebreed
"The Bound Feed the Gagged" Walls of Jericho

It's just barely under 35 minutes according to what Foobar tells me.

"Pink Moon" by Nick Drake (26:30). Short and sweet.

Weezer's Pinkerton clocks in at just under 35 min, and it's pretty solid.

Yeah, Reign in Blood is under 30 minutes, masterpiece of an album. We always theorized that they wrote 50 minutes of music, but they played the songs so fast in the studio they ended up with 28 minutes. I also remember Dave Mustaine saying that his Megadeth albums are short so that the grooves of the record aren't too close together.

Wow, I forgot about several of these. The first ones that came to my head were the early VH albums, though.
