Yes excess is a good or bad thing, depends on what you like

No excess is not a good or bad thing, it depends on what you like.

So where do you stand Tuxon?

On what I like I'd say good, for much of the time, love the wow factor.

I think that stuff like rotating pianos and people burning/smashing instruments on stage can be a good thing, but at the same time it's moving the focus from music to performance art ... I'm in all this for the music. So, for me it's 80% bad and 20% good (Yes and No).

BTW: I don't like people complaining about bands like Enchant or Shadow Gallery, saying that they're boring and repetitive, and every album sounds the same. These bands focus on the music itself (which is: melody and rhythm), not cheap tricks to boost popularity.

A good thing - not essential, but generally it makes for a more interesting show.
