Actually sounds like he's just ****ing around, screaming like a three-year old (there's even a sound sample of a baby crying at the end of one of the tracks - I know how that kid feels!) and while there are some decent musical ideas, such as in "Room 429", they're battered aside by most of the rest of the album. I wouldn't listen to this again. Give it a four maybe.
