Album Rating: 3.5

I love the lush and playful sound textures here! First half kills, second half aint bad but makes the album feel somewhat bloated, mostly bc of the interludes. Not my typical fare but a very enjoyable listen nonetheless.



Will spin again to see if it grows on me even more

Album Rating: 4.7

^ i know this probably isn't a "perfect" album because of some 2nd half filler but the overall effect it has on me just makes me keep it at a 5

sweet soundoff bro

Album Rating: 4.0

Chicago is the most overrated Sufjan track

that's prob true, feels a bit rote or whatever for something so epic

Album Rating: 4.0

yeah that's a good way to put it, production is a little flat too. Come On Feel The Illinoise, John Wayne Gacy, Decatur and Wasp of the Palisades are the best on here

casimir pulaski day his best song

I've come to love Come On Feel The Illinoise so much! The relationship between the halves

Album Rating: 4.0

Casimir is also good, and the opener

Album Rating: 5.0

Isn’t this like Christian rock basically

Album Rating: 4.0

best Christian music since Bach

Haven't really been listening to the full album but [normie opinion alert] fuck Chicago is so damn good. That and The Only Reason (different album) live in my head rent fucking free, been a hot minute a song has wormed its way that deep into my brain

Album Rating: 5.0

As much as I love this album, I do think it hasn't aged the best



Certain songs are still classics tho, but the over the top songs I think throw new people into him off

This album wishes it were Ships (2006)! Just kidding they’re both great and he’s on both

Album Rating: 5.0

Ships?

I’m guessing you mean Ships by Danielson.

Yeah that album! I love it

Album Rating: 4.0

Why doesn’t this album open with Black Hawk? Never understood why UFO was shoved in before it. Really weak way to open the album.
