It's mostly in 7/4, with a few measures of 7/8. The 7/4 is a half-time feel, phrased as 2+2+3 quarter notes, and the 7/8 is a 16th note rock feel, and breaks down to 2+2+3 eighth notes. The feel change on top of the meter change may be a little confusing, but the underlying pulse is consistent between meters. It's tempting to try to explain it, but you can figure it out if you follow along with the recording a few times. Go ahead and count through the rests at the end— get a feel for how the 4/4 contrasts with the 7/4.

Nice! Been wondering about this one for a while. Thanks for posting this :)
hi, I think in the measures of 7/8, the eighth notes are not evenly spaced. the last 3 or 4 few seeme rushed. its almost as if the 8 beats can fit into the same space as the preceding 7 .
I'm not sure what you're hearing there-- the time is actually even all the way through, if you listen to the drums-- he doesn't rush, and he plays exactly the notes I've written.
