Too Much Of A Good Thing
Basically, I don't love shredding. That's one of Bill's greatest attributes, i.m.o. - the phrasing and articulation, the musical expression is perfectly deliberate and elegant without getting in your face with so much stuffed in so fast that you can't even digest it. That's the problem I have with this one by Pierre. He is one of the best ever, but I just don't love listening to him the way I want to, and it's all because my enjoyment receptors choke on the information overload. I'm including my comment to this video.
"I'm an idiot for saying anything remotely negative about this....but....it's too much for me. Too many notes/chords/changes crammed into too little space in some areas. If things were stretched out just a little, and more deliberate in articulation, it would go a long way towards my enjoyment. I've thought this about shredders and chord crammers for a long time. The amazement and amusement of hearing the best/fastest do the impossible, seemingly because they can, wore off some years ago. This composition, arrangement, and musicianship are unparalelled, though. There's no denying that."
