1-2 minutes you're only just getting into it, I'd feel robbed listening to a track and really loving it, only for it to end after a minute or so.

I'd like to hear some examples where a song can build and evolve and end in such a small amount of time where you don't think it's rushed or missing something.

I can think of some tracks this short that are great, but they only really work in the context of the whole album.

Personally I think 6-8 minutes is a sweet spot of song length. But of course a song really needs as long as it needs and to artificially have it be longer or shorter is dumb

Nice. I saw Glitterer with Citizen and Drug Church as the first show I saw once allowed out during covid. It was a really sick line-up.

fwiw i do listen to longer songs too, this is just my preference

here's a song that i think is fully realized in under two minutes: https://youtu.be/cHa8Sb4U0dY?si=ckXAE7v4kHtbb-BR
