This may sound silly as the answer may be for it to cover two separate vinyl discs. But I have a few albums that cover two separate discs that aren't considered double albums. For example, my Oasis debut album has two and I have never heard anyone refer to it as a double album.
Correct me if I am wrong, but for something to be classed as an EP, I believe it should ~25 minutes at length and have more than 4 songs on it. (Although, I am aware this requirement hasn't been used very strictly with some of Kanye's recent work, such as Kids See Ghosts' debut being classed as an album with it being ~23 minutes long.) With this, what are the requirements for something to be a double album? If the answer is simply that there isn't much of a rule in place, it's just a combination of a long album with more songs than average, fair enough.
I am struggling to find an answer online, so any replies would be much appreciated.
Double album A double album is an audio album which spans two units of the primary medium in which it is sold, typically records and compact discs. A double album is usually, though not always, released as such because the
recording is longer than the capacity of the medium. Recording artists often think of double albums as comprising a single piece artistically; however, there are exceptions such as John Lennon's Some Time in New York City and Pink Floyd's Ummagumma, and OutKast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. Since the advent of the compact disc, albums are sometimes released with a bonus disc featuring additional material as a supplement to the main album, with live tracks, studio out-takes, cut songs, or older
unreleased material. An innovation is the accompaniment of a CD with a DVD of related material, such as video related to the album or DVD-Audio versions of the same recordings. These could be regarded as a new form of double album; some such discs were also released on a two-sided format called DualDisc. The same principles apply to the triple album, which comprises three units. Packages with more units than three are often packaged as boxed sets.Freebase(0.00 / 0
