Right. Though one of this intro -> 1st song transitions from a metal album (Gamma Ray, No World order) immediately pops into my head when thinking of examples where the gap was annoying.
But Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon would be be completely destroyed by the breaks.
Still when listening to intro -> 1st song I have this tension in me building up, asking myself "when will the stutter come up? Is it now? Or later? Or was it there at all?". Like a torture
It depends on the genre, I’d guess. For metal, there’s rarely continuous songs, mainly sometimes intro -> 1st proper song.
