I thought I cleared this up in the other thread officially.EP - under 40minutesLP - over 40 minutesLP's are albums and since there is a very big difference in an EP and LP, no way should an EP ever be considered an "album" - whether an EP is their debut project or 7th retail charting release, it should NEVER EVER be categorized as an album (LP).
I complain everytime Budden releases a song that is only 5 minutes long!I believe there is a perfect length to a song, whether you are structuring it for radio or not. There is a certain timeframe in which your brain will be able to focus on any 1 track and enjoy it and leave you wanting to replay it.. Instead of it wearing out on you before the first spin... Generally 3-4 minutes...

And Crooked I has released three eps.By your logic westcoastnostra is his debut.And hell,mixtapes are charted as well these days so why not consider those debuts as well right?

I'm pretty sure they were when they were released.
It definitely depends on what the artist does with the music over that time period and whether or not the music itself changes - if it's the same loop there's a higher chance I'll get bored quicker even if the artist is dope.Take for example, Dalek released a 6 minute track called "Distorted Prose" on the 2004 album Absence. I can listen to that joint straight through and not wonder where the time went or get bored. Likewise I can have Jay Electronica Exhibit C on repeat and not get bored.
