What's a "Moral Compass Cricket Thingy"?

[Moonface]

Yeah, I'm in the same boat with disliking bundled interludes or song openings that drag on. A song I always think of that annoys me with that is "Living is a Problem Because Everything Dies" by Biffy Clyro, which opens with 90 seconds of quiet ambience rudely interrupted with constant "DUN!" sounds; it makes me wish Spotify had the radio edit which drastically cuts that stuff down and goes right into the song instead. It's also one of the rare instances where I think a radio edit is better than the original because it strips off the fat.

I do wonder though, for a song like "For Whom The Bell Tolls" would the long opening part bother you as much if it were moved to somewhere in the middle of the song like a solo part? Or do solo style sections in the middle of songs bother you just as much if they don't add much to a song for you?
