That Album is soo good!
I´m listening to it for about 2 weeks and I can say that Kid Cudi did such a good job!
I love his flow and you can paint a picture to every song.
The Chapter breakdown is well done -> the Album is like a movie with its futuristic sound!
Favs are definetly "Heart of a lion", "Day and Night" (I love the Original version cause its a classic already and the Crookers mix is what you hear all the time...gets boring), "Sky might fall"!!! "Soundtrack to my Life" and "Make her say" !!!

So go out and get it!
