I think sometimes too much of a good thing can turn it bad.... For me personally sometimes when Im working, I would really like to take a really kick ass track into 6 or 7 min...but I stop at about 3. Sometimes the options for expansion just are not there, and looping it over too much could potentially bore the listener. Sometimes when I hear a really great track and it suddenly ends at around 2-3 min., I feel let down for a moment....but common' we all hit that back-track button at least once....makes you think "DAMN! what a kick ass song!...gotta hear it again!" As for songs that are too long, I dont get that all to often...there are a few AE songs for example that can successfully loop a few drones, and with the right backing, and almost random effects....can carry for 7-8 min... and Aphex Twin S.A.W.v2...it just depends on the mood...like a 7 min. trance track! I'd go mad! "thump-thump-thump-thumthump"(looped) 4/4 kicks looped for 7 min with scaling cheesy Alesis Q card trance sounds drives me mad!...and to think that thats what often tops at MP3.com.......I wont get into that.
