This judgement though, I think, is mostly based on my experiences in playing it myself (playing repititious music gets very very boring)... So my past self approves, and my present self is sick of him.
I could not agree more. When playing/or listening I find some of his passages quite moving, but a good 90% of the time I find my self bored to death playing constant eighth or quarter notes that get a step higher with each set. It's mind numbing at points.
