-------------------------------

Whether intentional or not, with his sixth studio album, Kanye West finds himself knee deep in mythological territory. Effectively drawing from the themes of his career, he elevates them into a myth where he casts himself as the central character: the mere mortal who somehow became a God, morphed into a monster only to succumb to his human nature and by the skin of his teeth make it out alive. Dramatic? Yes. Brutal? Absolutely. Mythological? In every sense of the word.

Let's journey through the saga of Yeezus and explore what makes this musical odyssey worth a second look -- and determine whether Yeezus places Kanye where he so badly wants to be: on the Mount Olympus of musical Gods.
