There's nothing wrong with overly complex orchestrations or shredding, as long as the music itself is interesting. I love some raw noise, but something mindblowingly complex can likewise be viscerally overwhelming in a good way.
Yeah, that's what I was saying above this. There's a difference between showing off and using it to show emotion or provide a feeling. I definitely don't write things off just because the musician is talented.
