ex: I know this is a cliche example but on DSOTM there are many points in which no music is played and there is just a break between songs. But without that i think the album would be lacking.
I think if you sat down and listened to DSOTM right now you'd be surprised by how little of it is like what you describe, and none of it involves Roger Waters making dumb jokes. There's nothing wrong with having little interludes of some kind between songs. As you say it can help link the songs together. But how many hip-hop skits can you think of that really move the album along?
