In my simple opinion, the production is amazing. Every beat was rode perfectly by the artists on the songs. And I think the context in which the album was made (after the Swift Incident and the controversy that came with it, after his mother died, etc) was important for it, because he locked himself in Hawaii for a couple months to record, and I think all that stuff together created one particular moment of music creation that can't be ignored. Anyway...
The production, the lyrics expliciting some kind of decadence, self-doubt, anger towards the media, telling us about excess/wealth on a derogatory way, but at the same time with some pride. I think every song adds something to the other, and at the end the title makes total sense and we have an emotional and well-crafted piece of work.
