I don't think the problem is with albums, so much as that they're getting longer. Early 'classic' albums rarely lasted longer than 40 minutes. Now, with the advent of CDs, it's not unusual for an album to stretch past the hour - the average length of what used to be called a double album. Even the likes of Led Zep, Bob Dylan, The Beatles and The Stones struggled to fill a double album with quality, so how can we expect lesser acts to do it on a regular basis?
