In case you guys forget about it you can always read it on Zeke's signature. He made us a favor to remind us anytime how he loves to have different opinions.
Well this IS a discussion board. Where we come to discuss opinions...
Which most of the time people can't even point out exactly why they like a song, elaborate, or shed new light into. It's just "I like it"; at least I have enough awareness to pinpoint the reasons why I dislike (or highly appreciate) certain materials. When listening to music I'm very attentive, and pull apart each layer and really dissect the different elements that went into the creation of the sound, and if I like or dislike something, I make it my mission to figure out exactly what it is that is making me come to such a conclusion.

Regarding Steps repetitiveness, I did mention that was it's downfall. However the improvements that were made made to the track in arrangement choices and progression of melody are much more enjoyable. I no longer feel like I'm falling down a rabbit hole when listening to it (which probably was their intention but regardless, it's not a feeling that I enjoy).

Also, regarding making a quality intro (not wasting time to make it sound perfect when it's so short), see INTRODUCTION to Black Cherry to have that argument squashed. That's how you open an album (and THAT's an intro whose extended version sucked).
