"Exactly, bands saw albums as basically just sides.



Would be nice if we had the days of LP back again. Back then albums had no excuse for being overlong."

Tell that to The Wall

I love the "soft" songs on this album. They knew how to make a peaceful tone.

That you're given something of a grace period before Echoes is what makes them coexist with Echoes so well.

"you see this album came out when music was made on a thing called vinyl, where here echoes took up the whole 2nd half when you flipped it over"

You see I was specifically responding to this:
"Nah I'd say the transition to Echoes from San Tropez would actually be a lot more powerful."

Besides, my point still stands anyway, the few seconds it takes to flip the record when listening in its entirety makes very little difference. Regardless of whether [some] bands/artists saw albums as "just sides", the last track of the A side can still be judged on how well it links the album as a cohesive whole.
