I look forward to a longer song by the Melvins on their albums, but some album songs peak before the 5 minute mark. Like Working With God for instance. Or the Mike and the Melvins Three Men and a Baby. If counting solo albums, then King Buzzo's This Machine Kills Artists. Buzz and Dale's Kiss EP's also, but I think they were meant to be short. I think Joe's almost 23 minute opus makes up for that.  :shock: Not that these albums are bad or lacking in any way. I mean we got Tres Cabrones with long songs. Buzz's Gift of Sacrifice has a long song. Maybe Mike and the Melvins will make more epic tunes, probably not though.  :lol:

Bootlicker will deceive you looking at the track times, but I don't think any "song" is really more than six minutes. Maybe JBFH.

Stag has "Goggles" but that doesn't really feel like it's in the tier of "Boris" or "See How Pretty" or "Charmicarmicat" or "Divorced"

Chicken Switch and the Love album are two more examples. The Merzbow remix track comes close.

That's something i noticed straight away about 'Working With God' - all very short track times. It does feel a little usual for Melvins. Only a little though. It's not like they are some Prog-rock act with the tendency for creating sprawling songs.

At 15:51, 'The Anti-Vermin Seed' is probably their longest right? Oh or POTRE.

Longest thing on Mangled Demos is over four minutes and that's just three kids bantering with each other. Given that's a compilation but it sticks out.

Three Men and a Baby's longest song is 4:40.

The first Jello collab has two songs that are barely over six minutes so it's close.
