It's still a bad song. Complexity does not inherently make it a good song. Funky time signatures don't inherently make it a good song. I can appreciate the musicianship displayed and still think it makes a hodgepodge of nonsense that doesn't equate to a good song.

I don’t think I made the claim that complex = good. I believe I said complex = interesting, and maybe that’s why I listen to certain songs that aren’t necessarily good but I enjoy them because they offer something else.
For the record, I think drummers (and bassists) are more interested by funky time signatures than guitarists.
When I play You Never Know on guitar, I could give a F about the time sig - it isn’t interesting. But on the drums, it’s a blast. Just my 2 cents
