EPs Vs. Albums - what do you think?

You give one example of a post-rock band which is possibly the most difficult genre to define the difference between EP and album for then dismiss my ideas as utterly wrong? Thats pretty unfair.
For example The Eightie's Matchbox B-Line Disaster's album Horse of The Dog is 25:22 with 10 tracks; also, Weezer's self-titled album is 28:15 again with 10 tracks. On the other hand Moonsorrow released Tulimyrsky with only 5 tracks and length of over an hour and X-Japan released a one-track album of 29 mins exactly.
This doesn't prove me right, but nor does it prove me 'utterly wrong'.

Does the band call it an EP?
Then it's an EP.
Does the band call it an LP?
Then it's an LP.
Which is better, LP or EP?
It depends on how good they are on an individual basis. They're all records. This thread is silly, the debate is really really silly. It's just a thread where people list the names of good records, be they EPs or LPs.
I don't know about you guys, but I don't feel like being silly on this one. It may as well be a thread where we discuss which pop songs are better. Pop songs under two and a half minutes, or pop songs over two and a half minutes.

Sub-minute punk songs, Darryl. C'mon.
A Shoggoth on the Roof:
yea, but if it gets too short that's pushing it. I think songs peak at about ten seconds and then either end, like they should, or go downhill from there. any shorter and you really can't get anything out of listening to it, any longer and you get bored.
god I hate Opeth.

Remember kids, Enjoy Eternal Bliss by Yndi Halda is so fucking long yet they officially call it an EP. So...
