Even if I'll never be able to learn something (I'd say this song is learnable for me on drums, although the 15/8 section starting at 2:50 will be super hard to get down, and the first section before the 5/8 theme starts will be awkward to learn note perfect), it inspires me to know that this stuff is out there and that people are pushing the envelope, compared to the crap that most of today's pop music is :)
