That reddit thread is great.

This new Sufjan record is easily going to be amongst his best work.

John Wayne Gacy Jr. I don't think I've ever heard a more haunting song.

from him.

In 2003, there are still social barriers to getting deep into rap, because there is very little happening on the Internet. And most of it is about how incredible Sufjan Stevens is. And this is part of my problem. I don’t think Sufjan Stevens is incredible. I think he’s a scumbag. I think he’s a raging pussy-hound playing thumb-sucking baby to trick the sweetest peaches into doing terrible, awful things after the show. A lot people say he’s gay. Who cares? He said he was gonna do an album about every state. No, dude: you’re going to write a press release that says that, and then do one more.

Haven't adored an album this much in a long long time.

I might have to pick this album up. "No Shade in the Shadow if the Cross" was nice, but sort of stunted (which I guess is sort of a Sufjan thing, yeah?). However, I just listened to "Should Have Known Better" for the first time, and that song is fantastic. I'll probably wait until I can hear the whole thing before pulling the trigger, but I am strongly considering it right now.

You really should. There are several songs that I think are a lot stronger than 'No Shadow'.

'Fourth Of July' and 'The Only Thing' are destroying me. Those lyrics are beautiful and profoundly sad. The music is, too.

[zeb]

Those two are tough.

4th of July

3 years since Carrie & Lowell.

It may top my list of best albums of the last 5 years.

I’m really, really digging the new album. It’s classic Sufjan - smart, quirky, and melodic.
