'Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon' is mediocre
Jackie Blue:
Devendra's eccentric personality can be excused by the fact that he made three excellent albums (the first three) and one decent one (Cripple Crow).
Sufjan Stevens, on the other hand, has no such excuse for being such an insufferable douchebag. He's the indie rock equivalent of an awkward hand-job in the back of your mother's car given by a fat girl.
Johnny C:
Sufjan Stevens has created multiple records' worth of immaculately arranged, gloriously intricate and markedly catchy orchestral pop music. It's no small feat.
Besides, Iggy Pop was certainly an insufferable douchebag around the time of Funhouse, yet that record is superb from beginning to end.

God damn it, I thought we already had the "musical taste is subjective" argument twice this year.
Your definitions of "immaculate", "glorious", "intricate" and "catchy" might differ from mine, or anyone else's.
I would use those terms to descibe The Olivia Tremor Control, never Sufjan Stevens. That doesn't mean I think I'm right and anyone who disagrees is wrong.

Right now, I am reduced to shaking my head in wonder. You are truly a remarkable person.

Sure, but taste and quality are two different things. We've already had this argument too.
