I wasn't using that track as an example of that-track-is-better-than-all-older-tracks - you're missing my point. I was just noting a level of complexity that wasn't present in much of the earlier tracks. For an analogy on this specific point, there is a power metal band called Helloween - their later material became more complex, yet most regard their early material as quite better for the level of abstraction they brought.
I'm talking about the overall quality. There are a LOT of older tracks that aged really poorly - I don't see any charm in them whatsoever. I do agree that there are some entertaining tracks of various degrees in the past, but in numbers, I feel that most of the tracks now are quite listenable & enjoyable, but you cannot say that about most of the tracks in the past.
Also, LOL at Hoboka's post.
