50 albums?? it would need a lot of talent and persistence, I think this album is just a process Definitively, needs improvement.

John Wayne Gacy Jr is an awesome song but I wish it had insight lyrically instead of just being narrative and the middle paragraphs are pretty half assed. This album is solid but full of filler and he always gives me the impression he thinks he is better than he is.

Giving insight on JWGJr would be telling you what to think and feel when you listen to it. I much prefer the conflicted feeling I get when I listen to it.

You need to change the part about Marvel Comics to DC Comics. Superman is a DC character, silly.

wow I've had this for like a month plus now but have just barely started listening to it. I was sitting on a gold mine, this is awesome.



I find myself playing Jacksonville and Chicago nonstop

What's with the filler hatin'? It's not that long of an album really and most of the "filler tracks" are really just the ends of songs and barely constitute separate tracks. This album rules hard.

Really like the review dude. Clever move to include a bit of background on Sufjan's concept before diving into the album itself.



Definitely one of my all time favorite albums.

yeah i know but


it would be fun to see him try past, you know, two


besides his best albums are the two that came out of it, the history and culture of a state is such an interesting source of material


whatevs

edit: also sad that anyone who would want to pick this up or whatever would be accused of ripping his idea, idk
