Honestly, I don't think so.  If you're creating something, you're going for 
the aesthetic of the collective whole--not how much you can cram into one 
space.

But it probably just depends on the artist in question.  For example, the 
new Innocence Mission album isn't even 40 minutes long--but then there's the 
perspective of good art meaning knowing when to stop (of course, in their 
case, the more the better!!).

Then again, I'm a literature person (and a very technically challenged one 
at that), not a musician...so I may have no clue what I'm talking about.  ;)

Down to the letter,
Ana Maria
