My biggest concern isn't with the length of the album, but also that there's only 7 tracks. There are 2 "transitions", so maybe those will eat up a lot of time, but that's an average of over 12 minutes a "song". When songs get to be that long, albums generally become more like ambient background noise or jam sessions than listenable albums of discernible songs.
Maybe I'm thinking too inside the box here, but I would have preferred at least a few punchier songs in the 5 minute range. That being said "Schism" is over 7 minutes long and in no way seems that long.
