I made it to track number 5, but this just wasn't for me. I'm not a fan of hip hop albums that tell the story of the artist's history. Especially when it's a backstory I have zero interest in.

There’s the odd interesting idea in here (the fuzz bass on Hell Of A Life, for example), but I found this monotonous after a while. Even with the various guest stars sampled or roped in to perform alongside Mr West. I also found a lot of the rhymes quite awkward, starting with "Look like a fat booty Céline Dion/Sex is on fire, I'm the King of Leon-a Lewis”. Seemed like wordplay for the sake of it, rather than telling me anything new. I lost interest about half way through, and when I picked it up again near the end, nothing seemed to have changed in terms of tone or pace. Dark & twisted, yes; beautiful? No.
