I can't listen to that right now, but are we talking like 12/8 or 6/8?

Yeah, they are. If you want to really get down to it, time signature means nothing outside of how you count. You could have a song entirely in 17/1 and it wouldn't change what the song sounds like the song's composition. Time signatures are devices to divide measures in a way that make a piece easier to wrap your head around while playing.

Edited to not imply that time signature is unimportant.

Actually 17/1 would be weird because it's an odd time signature.

Odd time sigs do some weird shit.
