I mean, yea, I can appreciate the Jethro Tull and ELO(?) and James Bond soundtrack allusions ... but mostly it just sounds like trying not to ever have any identifiable rhythm for as long as possible. Like many others in that list, complexity at the expense of melody. That said I bet a live show would be amazing.

8:30 Jethro Tull
10:20 ELO
12:15 James Bond
allusions aren't derivative in a negative way
As you might have suspected, the Grateful Dead songs I've heard are folky knee slappers such as Uncle John's Band. That is what I think of when I say not complex. Like, fall asleep in the elevator not complex. Your example is so complex it has allusions to way more than the 3 styles I mentioned, while not having a cohesive thread throughout, which is much like the conversations I've had at hippie festivals :D So I stand corrected, I see the Dead can get complex.
