Is the "musicianship" incredibly high on this song? Absolutely. Is it a good song? Absolutely not. It's horrendous.

I don’t know how to say this without coming across as a D bag, but I honestly believe that people who grew up playing music and still play an instrument have greater respect for complex songs, and as a result, might be more open to enjoying a song because of it.
I think you’ve got two crowds - the crowd that doesn’t know the difference between a 4/4 and a 7/8, and the crowd that understands measures, time sigs, general music theory/structure etc.
The two groups might judge music differently because of their understanding of music.
As an example, Rush is a band that gets crapped on by the general pop pretty often, but as someone who has played drums for 25 years, I consider Rush one of the most interesting bands to listen to. I don’t know if the songs are good or not, I just really like them because it’s fun to follow along and take in what they are doing.
Maybe that’s how I view Seven, I guess.
