A SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATION OF THE NAPALM DEATH SONG LENGTH TO QUALITY RATIO
Monday, March 30th, 2009 at 2:00pm by Axl Rosenberg
Here’s something pretty cool, funny and educational: over at Invisible Oranges, Cosmo Lee has created a chart (above) tracking Napalm Death’s average song length by album. Lee explains:
Originally I made this chart to test a theory that the shorter the Napalm Death song, the better the album. (Also, I wanted to learn how to make bar graphs in Excel.) The theory doesn’t hold true.
Even so, Lee made some pretty interesting discoveries. Read all about his findings here.

Invisible Oranges is probably the only thing in the world I like more than MetalSucks. That is smart, smart shit going on over there for the most part.
Good love.
at the beginning he says longer songs are better, his favorite being Fear, Emptiness, Despair with a 210 sec avg, but at the end he says keeping them under 180 seconds is best. So which is it?
On a side note I’d have to go with longer songs myself TWFNS is fucking killer
