Fuck y'all. Animal Collective are great, outside of a couple weaker albums.

Do any of you own or know of any commercially released CDs that were over 80 minutes in length?

Don’t CDs max out at 80 minutes?

CDs can actually go longer than that, I have a classical compilation that clocks in at over 82 mins, but I was wondering how common it was or if it caused any issues with playback (mine played just fine but the final track wouldn't rip when I tried importing it to iTunes)

I used to have an X Files compilation album that had a hidden track like that

I think it's 79 minutes.

You could do this with Blind Melon’s Soup too

Was it a good song? The Blur one wasn't any good so it was pointless after the initial novelty wore off.

It was a spoken word recap from series creator Chris Carter. So... no.

They Might Be Giants has a disc with it, I want to say Severe Tire Damage but I'm not positive. It's been a long time since I've had the disc. Same with the X-Files that was already mentioned. You can't rip it - or at least it's incredibly hard to do so. I think a program called cdex could but it's been so long since I've used it I might be mis-remembering one of its menus.

Yes, Severe Tire Damage.

Great pull, bune.

Binaural has a pre-album hidden track too
