Sufjan Stevens

<< < (5/10) > >>

StrikeThePostman:
Oh, right.  durr.

TheLoweringTide:
Putting an evaluation of the music aside for a moment, I was rather disappointed to find that "To the Workers of the Rock River Valley Region..." did not, in fact, provide a solution to my predicament.

Spike:
Sufjan Stevens is pretty good, but I find myself cringing every now and then due to seemingly over sensitive/emotional lyrics..

Praeserpium Machinarum:
I like his lyrics, the sensitivity is what makes him stand out and most importantly it's quite subtle sensitivity, and he's so jolly that you can't help but smile. That said, I wish he had made Illinois shorter, it could have been a masterpiece if he had shown some restraint. But then again it wouldn't be the same album if he had done that. I supposed the excess is part of what makes him great..

The only part of Illinois that I would agree with this point is on "John Wayne Gacy, Jr.," because it comes off a little schmaltzy.

That being said, I love the album almost too much.
