Lol, I thought you're a big fan of concept album(Rock Opera, maybe)


It depends on the album. If it's a concept album, I'm fine with two songs going into one, hence me saying "sometimes."

Seamless tracks were difficult in the days of mixtapes... You really had to time the pause button well when recording a tape for that cute girl in your class.

If two songs blend right into each other (like "Two-Headed Boy" into "The Fool" or "The Happiest Days of Our Lives" into "Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2") then obviously silence is bad, but if one song doesn't blend directly into the next, then it makes sense to have a bit of silence, but sometimes there's too much silence. And then there's a whole different debate about the lacuna (purposeful silence, like on "Motion Picture Soundtrack" on Kid A). The use of lacunae annoys me, but I understand that it's a thing that artists sometimes like to do.

I voted for part of the music, but I think it's somewhere between part of the music and breaktime for next masterpiece.

Like hidden tracks, for example, fuck that shit. I mean, not only would the "hidden" aspect of the track only affect you on your initial listen, but most of the time you know it's going to be there anyways. Yeah, I really hate hidden tracks.


Hidden tracks were the worst part of CDs in the 90s. It's like as soon as Nirvana did it on Nevermind then EVERYONE had to have a hidden track.

My music software allows for a great crossfade with no noise if I want it. It also skips any long silence in a track, so a track that includes 4 minutes of silence (PEOPLE SHOULD BE SHOT FOR THAT) and then a bonus track becomes a normal track immediatly followed by a bonus track.

The only time I find silence to be bothersome is if there is a long space hiding a bonus track. Or an album like Danzig 4...at the end, there are 66 small silent tracks, then a shitty bonus track.

plz elaborate on which library-capable media player has such options, you have sparked my interest
