Yeah, I’ve always had the same thought.

Another musical pet peeve of mine is when, usually during the intro, a song doubles the number of bars for a sequence, basically repeating itself for no good reason.

My ear is ready for the song to kick in, but at that moment it just repeats the previous 8 bars. Every time I think “really, we need to do this 8 more times? Can’t we just get on with it?”

It’s like the musical equivalent of waiting in line.
