These critics are getting to me!

Something that has been eating away at me for a few weeks is this mantra that the music critics keep harping on concerning the length of a CD. Why is it that they can't appreciate a band who actually tries to fill up a whole CD with music? They continue to think that it must only have 12 or 13 songs. That makes no sense to me. I think the more for my money, the better. It's not like Fleetwood Mac puts out an album every six months either. We are lucky to get one every six years! I say bravo to FM! Okay, so some of the songs are not exactly my cup of tea. I don't really expect to love all 18. However, if they had cut it down to 12, how would I know if they would have left off the ones I like? No one knows!....and therein lies the problem. The songs they leave off may never see the light of day. Give them all to me and let me do the weeding. Is that too much to ask? I was really looking forward to a double CD. Now I'm left wondering what I might be missing out on. I tells you....I can't sleep at night!!!!
