I would say Dirty Mind without hesitation, but Wikipedia tells me it's 30:14.
Other contenders that spring to mind: Blood Visions, Histoire de Melody Nelson, Guitar Romantic

Probably a Ramones album, but I'll go with Back from Samoa. Fourteen songs, 17:38.

Clemenza already posted the album that immediately came to mind when I saw the thread title -- Samoans win!
― xhuxk, Saturday, 23 June 2012 14:52 (thirteen years ago)
I checked, and of the Ramones' first four albums, the only one under 30:00 is the first. The other three run a minute or two over.

xp And actually, I thought of Dirty Mind too, before seeing that first post. But I was pretty sure it didn't quite make the cut.

Is that the US version? The UK is over 36 minutes.
My guess is that all of the US pre-Pepper Beatles records are under 30 mins.

My 14-track "Rubber Soul" is 35:41. "A Hard Day's Night" almost makes it... 30:06.
― LimbsKing, Saturday, 23 June 2012 16:08 (thirteen years ago)
US Revolver was 28:40 -- no "I'm Only Sleeping," "And Your Bird Can Sing," or "Dr. Robert," which were released 2 months earlier on Yesterday and Today (itself 27:33).
Fuckin' Capitol. Sheeesh.

I wish The Stones had sorted out their discography in the same way The Beatles did when all of their albums were issued on CD in the late '80s. I suppose ABKCO are a big obstacle in that, though.

Most of Fela Kuti's albums clock in at less than 30 minutes (as do a lot of Afro records)..

Pink Moon is the first one that came to mind.
I thought a lot of disco albums would qualify here especially as most seem to have less than six tracks but most seem to run just over 30 minutes. Keep On Jumpin' by Musique is the only one I've found so far that is under.
Shock Of Daylight by The Sound is only 25 minutes, probably my favourite album of theirs.
― Kitchen Person, Sunday, 24 June 2012 15:54 (thirteen years ago)
Bad Religion's Suffer (26:14) and No Control (26:25) albums. Unfortunately the third one I'd love to mention, Against The Grain, is near symphonic rock epic at 34:27.
