So was Rush's "2112", also on that list.  There's a fine line there somewhere.
Some long multi-part songs are thought of clearly as one song identifiable
by transitions, or even perhaps by who wrote one section.  Pink Floyd's
"Shine on You Crazy Diamond" is a perfect example, it id divided into parts
I through IX, each with different songwriting credits.   But it is generally
regarded as one song (or two)...

2112, on the other hand, has clear "subtitles" for each section.  I suppose
they might split the credits up by section except 95% of rush songs say
"Lee/Lifeson/Peart" so there's not much to single out...
