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.
