You should hear some avant guarde music to nearly understand the why of the complexity. I should recommend to you: Xenakis, Rautavaara, Schoenberg, Poulenc, Ravel and Bartók, just for start.

    This guy is a genius. I don't how anyone could dislike this. He is definitely advancing jazz harmony into its next phase, hence advancing jazz. A direct descendant of Bud Powell, Lennie Tristano, Bill Evans and Gil Evans. He is only about 24 so look for some great compositions to come out of him. A revolutionary force in music from the north of England I think. Who would have thought.

    Whoa. Here's my analysis:
    - 0:00 - 0:41: Rhythm is 8/4 = 10 * 3/16 + 2/16, starting on the second sixteenth in the first measure (and hitting the first sixteenth in the second measure).
    - 0:25 - 0:29: The melody is transposed a half-tone upwards.
    - 0:46 - 0:48: ...
    - 0:55 - 1:01: The base is 5 over 4, then 6 over 4, then 7 over 4, then 0 over 4 ;)
    - 1:06 - 1:10: The metre changes from 4/4 to 7/8.
    - 1:07: The melody transposes by a whole tone upwards.
    - 1:10 - 1:21: The metre alternates between 4/4 and 7/8.
    - 1:30 - 1:33: Shifted patterns in 7.
    - 1:51, 1:58: Syncopated 3/4-patterns.
    - 2:04 - 2:10: Repeated 3/16-patterns.
    - 2:18 - 2:21: 2 over 3.
    - 2:23: The melody is now in E major instead of Eb major.
    - 2:43: Rhythm gets slower by a factor of 4/5?
    - 3:02: A IV in the bass, just like in "Crazy She Calls Me". The notes are probably D, A, F#, B, E, G#. And there is the most grinning face I've seen in a while :)
    Jacob, if (as you said) there is something like "too many ideas" and it is like this, I would love to hear it!

Because that's not something you can actually feel, you make that up about certain music (likely when it's more complicated than you're used to). All this then does is make it so you shut yourself off from enjoying certain music because you don't want to like it.
