Mostly THAT was EPs. Some of the best albums are EPs, but they're short.
Rose for the Dead EP, was my favorite one. 6 songs.
NIN Broken was 8 songs.
A lot of punk albums have plenty of songs, but they're so short some of them have terrible play times. OpIvy Energy (the first bootleg I ever had) is only about 35 minutes long and the whole thing mostly fit on one side of a (small) cassette tape.
I could probably find more, but that's just off the top of my head.
Isn't that kind of the point of EP's though? They're ~half the length and should be cheaper to compensate for that.
"should be"
Of the above, I only remember Rose for The Dead... costing easily as much as an LP.
