Narrative:
Twice if not 3 times, controller issued turn, descent, and a speed change at an intermediate altitude in the descent. Although this may have been the umpteenth time the controller issued this clearance, it was our first time. Rapid fire delivery instruction of this complex of an instruction is inappropriate.
