And there are only 6 tracks, and also the CD was $20.
- They are typically 45-60 minutes. Which could be 1 long song, or 20+ short songs.

  That fucking album is proof there was hope, except it bankrupted London Records which killed Grotüs' career. They are a dope ass band I found in a CD store with throwaway CDs for a dollar in 99. Definitely worth it for them. YouTube Grotüs' Mass.
  
  I thought Dopesmoker was released by Tee Pee lol
  
  Dude, I was there. I lived it. Step off.
  
  Bruh I'm looking over at my shelf of CD's from the time.
  
  But let's look at the best selling albums that came out in 1999, the year referenced in the meme.
  
  Backstreet Boys - Millennium - 12 tracks
  
  Britney Spears - Baby One More Time - 11 tracks (or more, depending on the version)
  
  Santana - Supernatural - 13 tracks
  
  Celine Dion - All the Way... A Decade of Song - 16 tracks (kind of weird as it's a compilation)
  
  Ricky Martin - Ricky Martin - 14 Tracks
  
  Blink-182 - Enema of the State - 12 tracks
  
  RHCP - Calofornication - 15 tracks
  
  Christina Aguilera - Christina Aguilera - 12 tracks (I think? I'm only finding re-releases that include more bonus tracks now)
  
  Creed - Human Clay - 11 tracks
  
  Dido - No Angel - 12 tracks
  
  Maybe back in the day you mistakenly bought singles instead of albums?
  
  Hey that was the soundtrack to high school. I downloaded half of them on dialup, via Napster/Gnutella/whatever.
  
  #7 is one of the only ones you'll hear to this day.
  
  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jar_of_Flies I rest my case you condescending asshat.
  
  As an EP that wouldn't have been $20 lol.
  
  As if you would even know.
  
  You're just mad you got ripped off 25 years ago lol
  
  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.
