I usually go off the recommendations of other people.I never buy an album based on seeing the product on display.
If you are talking from the point of view that of you have made the decision to buy something by the band already then I usually know what I want through recommmendation.I never buy anything new without listening to it first anyway,so I dont buy off the internet "on spec".

I usually look at the track lengths, i know intellectually that this is
not a good indicator of quality, but I just can't help it

Why be obvious, why not literally be progressive and do something different? However, checking out the band line-ups and the music generated over for instance, Cuneiform Records last 60 releases (say CUNE 150 to 205), and you will discovered somebody /some people have experimented there already.

Long tracks, group composition and date of release (preferably the early 70's) but their early discography also.
One thing I have learned throughout my long career of record buying is to check out the early albums first because later albums ........ are deceiving.

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword
