Why is RYM so obsessed with long, 10+ minute tracks?
Bump, always find them boring personally
>>130265292While brevity is often associated with wit, occasionally a musician might find themself unable to express what they want to within the confines of the length of a typical song. Those songs tend to have richer themes and more concepts to explore than a shorter song, especially when we're only comparing against a single band's music.
bump
>>130265292Because it's a site of gay niggers who get more satisfaction from intellectually masturbating over what something represents outwardly instead of just enjoying it as it is. It's the same in places like letterboxd where boring pretentious garbage is highly rated, or why video essayists endlessly make analyses about the same few okay-ish video games. It depends on how much "masturbatory value" it has.
>>130265532>"masturbatory value"who are you quoting?
>>130265292More importantly, why are you morons so obsessed with RYM?
>>130265292not one good song in there
>Zoomers can't sit still or pay attention to something for 600 secondslmao explains the short form video explosion.
>>130265292You're telling me when you look up the top songs for an artist who makes long songs you get long songs? I'm shocked. Next you'll be telling me that happens when you look up Charles Mingus or King Crimson!
>>130265292For the life of me I don't understand Twin Fantasy no matter how many times I listen to it
>>130266096The vast, vast majority of Car Seat Headrest's songs are not *long*, however the vast majority of their top songs are their longest ones.>>130265736Hey, Space Cadet is quite nice, I think.
itt:>AHHHHH TEN MINUTES IS TOO LONG I COULD WATCH LIKE THIRTY TIKTOK SHORTS IN THAT TIME

>>130265532Can there not be a place where music is maximally analyzed? Why must music only be only enjoyed at the simplest levels? Music appreciation is a hobby.
bruh just admit that you're a normie tiktoker, I'll admit that a lot of longer songs are just pretentious wankery but shit like Swans and Godspeed is some of the most grandiose music ever created
>>130265292Car Seat Headrest rocks!!!
Most 10+ minute tracks don't justify their runtime. They always feel padded out with differing sections that feel like separate songs altogether. Enter: THE ENDURANCEhttps://youtu.be/pkXe7E3EPVw10+ minutes of pure metal riffs and drumming from start to finish
