I've really been enjoying it but I grew up on his music so I guess that's expected to an extent. I saw some chatter online that talked about listening to the album in reverse order and how it changes the context of the story but all of the nuances still work. It definitely does, and I think the reverse order is actually my preference.

Anyway, IMO its a crazy, fun album with a lot of lyrical thought put in with the context underneath of alter egos and decades of call backs to previous works and interactions.
