Im loving The music and how he use so many classical instruments and the way that the tracks that are only instrumental transmit exactly What he wants. But lyrics wise i feel like idont enjoy or even appreciate them as much because there is so many references that i dont get (in spite of reading about each track)
In summary i think that its a very good album that i probably dont appreciate as i should.
