i've been thinking about this song all day.

I downloaded it but I haven't had the slightest inclination to listen to it. Something about Sufjan grates on me sometimes. As do his fans.

mickey just listen to the title track, if you are disappointed you can go be bored by the national.

huge Sufjan fan but besides 2-3 songs i don't really care for this too much. it's not bad, just not wowing me either

windedsailor · **Posted:** Tue Aug 24, 2010 10:10 pm

i'll give you it's not wowing throughout the whole thing, but its high point songs are damn high.

considering my favorite Sufjan Stevens album is 'Seven Swans', i guess for me the high points are just good

also... NEW FULL LENGTH on 10/12.... woulda been nice to know that before his tour went onsale. wasn't paying $35 ($50 after fees) to see him w/o supporting a new record

Quote:

It’s much too soon to cast descriptive lots, but we can say the new album sounds nothing like the All Delighted EP (although it shares similar themes of love, loss, and the apocalypse). Nor is this new album built around any conceptual underpinning (no odes to states, astrology, or urban expressways).

Quote:

We can say it shows an extensive use of electronics (banjos and acoustic guitars give way to drum machines and analog synthesizers), and an obsession with cosmic fantasies (space, heaven, aliens, love), to create an explicit pop-song extravaganza, augmented by heavy orchestration, and maybe even a few danceable moments. Enjoy Your Rabbit meets the BQE. But with songs. Verse, chorus, bridge, backbeat. Gated reverb. Space echo. Get your boogey on.
