Out of DsO's 3 classic full lengths I think this one is the toughest to get into; but there's a weird underlying sense of dread while listening to this album

By far their best full length, yeah

I hold all 3 in high regard, but Circvmspice will always be my favorite

"Didnt the band themselves advertise molten bones as an LP?"
Not that I could find, but the whole rest of the world keeps referring to it as an EP, and 4 songs (roughly 30 minutes) sounds about right.
Si Monumentum is 1 hour 17 minutes long, so relatively speaking, I'd call it an EP

Si Monumentum does not really have a usual running time. All their other albums are around 45 or less minutes.
Not that it really matters if its an LP or EP.

heh, yeah it was a bit of an exaggerated example. That album is too long IMO. I'd say Molten Bones is on the cusp.

It's a LP.

I remember it being considered an LP also. It's longer than Reign in Blood, for instance.

not to be intentionally contrarian, but metalarchives isn't going off of anything differently than we are

Lotsa Tech death and grind albums don't even reach the 30 minute mark with their LP's either.

It costs as much as their other full-lengths and it's a 12'' vinyl, so it seems LP-ish.

Kenose is 36 min. Did anyone ever debate that not being in the LP section? (I know it's labeled as EP)

"Lotsa Tech death and grind albums don't even reach the 30 minute mark with their LP's either."
That's sort of a hallmark of those genres, though, given they write short songs with often a lot of content each, and put a ton of them on each record. Hard to call an album with 20 tracks and as many riffs as a 60 min record just an "EP."

back on track tho, new lp/ep/single/oralfolklore is straight fire, they really upped the claustrophobic factor on this one

It's whatever they say it is, the line between EP and LP was crossed a long time ago in many respects. Autechre have an EP that goes for longer than any of their LPs, but for whatever reason, they always call it an EP.
The names bear more of a conceptual meaning these than a practical one. An EP always used to be an extended play that was too long for a single and too short for a 12", whereas an LP was a 12" long play record, but these days EPs are 12"-length on a regular basis and LPs can be anywhere from ten minutes to four hours (and beyond...)
The concept these days just tends to lie in whether or not the band considers it one of the other. EPs usually are less-fulfilled song collections compared to the "whole" full-length album. If the band's calling this a full-length LP, then it's their call on what that means to them and how that separates it as a body of work from Kenose or Drought or whatever their other EPs are.

Either way, an "album" is just a collection of songs whether it's a compilation, extended play, long play, demo or mixtape.

well said. I think we can all agree the new one is a great album.

Also these days, instead of "EP and LP", as all releases tend to be on 12" LPs, the term "MCD" is used for EPs, and the label has distinctly called this a full-length.

So I guess the mods gotta move this one back to the LP section.
