Anyone here dislike Sufjan Stevens?
schimmy:
I'd argue that you can. Originality is doing something that's not been done before, even if it is abysmally mundane.
Now, I don't claim to be some huge repetoir of knowledge about the subject of Sufjan's lyrics, I only own Illinois and Michigan, and I don't pay much attention to the actual wording of most songs, so I can't say I know what they're all about.
What I can say, however, is that I enjoy Sufjan's singing and instrumentation. So if it's alright with you, I'm going to go ahead and listen to him anyway.
ScrambledGregs:
I would argue that his song titles are just as often red herrings as they are actually about 'unusual' things you would assume they're about due to the title. In the end, it doesn't matter, because I still like him. I will admit that he needs to change up his style a bit, though, and that two albums of Illinois material was way too much.

Because Khar, it is ever so original to scream your percieved ills of society over over-distorted guitars!

Except that if, you know, you knew anything about metal as a genre, it would be obvious that it is so ridiculously broad that those descriptors don't come anywhere near to encompassing a fraction of what metal bands do artistically.
But thanks for playing!
