It's got to be from Illinoise but I don't know which one it is.

I don't know if this is it, but I really like "The Predatory Wasp of the Palisades Is Out to Get Us!" That and the Gacey song are my favorites, I think.

Everyone needs to listen to the new album. AOTY right here. If you're avoiding leaks please revisit this thread in three weeks.

I really like "Abraham" from "Seven Swans," probably the only Sufjan album that continues to improve with age for me.

From "Illinois" I really like "The Man From Metropolis Steals Our Hearts."

The new one might be just your thing then. It's nearest in style to Seven Swans but more melancholic and atmospheric.

Great!

I like the "state" albums, but back when they were new I had a lot more enthusiasm for their conceptual components and respective "lesser" tracks, where now I find myself skipping through a lot of the interludes and fluff to get to the better tracks.

No fluff at all on his new albums, just eleven gorgeous tracks. It's also his shortest album yet. (Still 43 minutes long)

Would you like it better if I'd always be part of the conversation when cocks are involved?

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

Sufjan's record label posts on 4chan and Reddit and they're really cool about the leak. :D Interesting to read their thoughts in general.
