One of my favorite albums of all time, I could talk about this record for days, but I'll make this short, this is a masterpiece, every aspect is either perfect or near perfect, every song, every piece of the story, it's so good.

This album from a musical standpoint is phenomenal, but oh my god is it so repetitive and honestly pretentious.
