>How is this not emotional?



the impression it gives me is that he tries to pull the "feels" out of you instead of making you feel something, kind of like a tearjerker movie or most twinkly post-rock bands.

I see what you're saying Valk, Kozelek released a similar album last year but delivered it straight bordering on deadpan and he still got emotion to break through.



I think it's more a genre complaint you got there, this is a tearjerker in a similar way to Hospice or Electro-shock Blues - these albums lay it on thick but for me they deliver it without too much off putting cheese. I believe there can be good tearjerkers and unforgivably hammy ones

I think that's the dumbest comment I've seen on this thread yet @Mall

I get the "oh the songs sound way too alike" argument

But not emotional? Are you dead inside?

it really isn't that emotional =/= it doesn't do anything for me emotionally



you can feel whatever the fuck you want to but this is a highly emotional and personal album for sufjan himself

Yeah but when you feel nothing for this record it doesn't really have anything else to give you.

@doofus



It makes sense that I am not too big on Hospice either then. I agree that C&L is fairly good at expressing this kind of mood, if anything I find it lulling, comforting but never emotional or hard-hitting

Valk, that's perfectly reasonable, just a question of taste.

I have a lot of 3 rated stuff that I can tell is good but will never become a favourite.
