  1. It's fun to listen to, but it really is a hodge-podge of classical tropes that sounds 'deep' and 'adult' to people who don't listen to classical music that streams and integrates the themes & motifs in FAR more satisfying and interesting ways (not to mention ways of development of themes like inversion, and the like, you hear being used so routinely in fugues). It's nice, but not as Great as so many other songs that actually take advantage of the strengths of rock.
