Treble: 10 Essential Albums Under 30 Minutes

"We're all busy people. As much as we like to relax with a double album at home, flipping each side of vinyl, that takes a certain level of commitment that workdays just don't accommodate. Sometimes it's better to stick to those artists whose specialty is a quick-hit of short, perfect songs. The perfect album isn't necessarily the longest one, and history has proven time and again that it's the artists that understand economy and how to work within a less-is-more approach that sometimes deliver the best results. This week, we assemble our own list of albums that make their mark in under a half-hour. The nomination list was a pretty long one, and some of them just barely disqualified (there's quite a few at just over 30 minutes, for instance). But rules are rules: 30 minutes or less, or the rocking is free. Here are our picks for the best albums under 30 minutes."
