One of my favorite artists. Truly an amazing musician. Who here loves Sufjan Stevens as much as I do?

Big fan. The man is crazy. I think Illinois is probably my favorite, Night Zombies is great. The Avalanche is a good continuation of Illinois too, the guitar solo in Springfield is very well done. Very jarring, it's perfect. |

But, it does dissapoint me that he bragged that he was so prolific that he would write one album for each state. As far as I know Michigan and Illinois are the only states done so far. Too many claims made that never get backed up in our world anymore. Too much talk and not enough action. He is in his early or mid 30's, so I guess he has plenty of time.

His lyrics swing from the profound to the immature, sometimes within the same song lol. This coming from a fan.. I even enjoy the Seven Swans record with its strong Christian vibe. I love his orchestration.. and it all sounds awesome on vinyl. |
