and remebering that they said the songs are "epics", this take us into another place: epic have AT Least 5 minutes and 30 sec. Or 6 plus minutes. So we an have 45-48 minutes of music already recorded, wich by standart means a regular time album. I think that they will write at least more 4-5 songs, wich means lots o stuff from our boys.[/QUOTE]
When the band was recording "The Miracle" they had 15-20 tracks to choose from for the final album. Eventually only ten songs ended up on the actual record, but most of the rest popped up as B-sides, some were left behind for "Innuendo" and "Made In Heaven" while others went to various solo records.

Actually, I thought it was closer to 30. Isn't that what Freddie said on the Mike Read interview in '89?

Two fold. Queen's albums...at least the early ones were only about 40 minutes long if I am correct...they certainly got longer as the industry changed and how the industry would practice it in terms of songs being longer and albums too. Of course we don't have any idea how long the songs are. It does seem to be the practice in the industry to have anywhere between 11 and 14 songs nowadays. Fleetwood Mac had no less than 18 songs on their 2003 released entitled "Say You Will". It also was intended to be a double c.d. set. Then again no one really bought it either, noticed it was out, or cared. (I guess it did sell one million worldwide which is fine after all I guess...I don't know.)

It's worth a listen. At worst, you're listening to a band lie about their present and future. At best, you can listen, wishing they weren't.

I know. I love the interview. I've often called it "arguably the most enjoyable 60 minutes I've spent as a Queen fan". I just meant that I was too lazy to listen to the whole thing again in order to get the exact quote.
But I digress. Can't wait for the new album! I hope they won't delay it like they did the Boxes.

It's not the number of songs that dictated the running length of albums in the 1970's & 1980's, it is simply the fact that 23 minutes per side is the maximum amount of music you could get on a 12" vinyl album BEFORE you start delving into the realms of thinner gaps between the grooves and therefore lessening the quality of the recording.

I don't think Brian meant that all the songs are going to be epics. He only said that the stuff they were working on at the moment had epic quality (and that was months ago when they had just a couple of songs). We don't know what has happened in the studio after that.
The latest quotes from Brian and Roger have described new material being "organic" and "bluesy" and having "live feeling". Somehow this has made me think of NOTW album...
