Perhaps this is the result of a complicated mind constantly in flux, an artistic depiction of Kanye’s evolution, but that remains doubtful. Instead, it takes the form of a schizophrenic greatest-hits record. Here though, he’s run out of single topics to stitch the album together.

Kanye has already made two highly acclaimed albums regarding the high-profile controversies in his life, “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy” and “Yeezus,” both of which were tight in their themes while brimming with standout singles. But by the fourth track, Kanye is already back to breaking up with “fame” and claiming Taylor Swift owes him sex for “making her famous,” a remark that has received plenty of well-earned backlash. And for a while, it seems like this might be a more serious Kanye we’re dealing with here. The album opens with “Ultralight Beam,” a song concerned with his religious convictions and his relationship with his father. Like the latter artist’s work, it’s disparate and chaotic in its mixture of ideas, yet teeming with brilliant color and energy within the mess. While Kanye may draw a comparison between himself and Pablo Picasso with the title of his album, this latest release ultimately has much more in common with Jackson Pollock than Picasso. And secondly, that he has no idea what he’s doing anymore. Similarly, two equally plausible conclusions can be drawn from Kanye’s newest album, which has finally been named “The Life of Pablo.” Firstly, that the man is a complex and mad genius. Naturally, debate continues to rage whether these are legitimate outcries from a troubled mind and ego, or incredibly clever marketing ploys from an artist in complete control of his persona. Taking to Twitter, he recently defended Bill Cosby, started too many pointless arguments to name and alleged that he is $53 million in debt. Kanye West has always been a perplexing figure, but over the last couple of months the Yeezy enigma has simply grown more bewildering.
