Honestly I haven't listened to this in ages, it's not one of those albums I'm deadset against like Transatlanticism or something. But like 90% of this hits me as unnecessary and really doesn't add anything to the record--- sometimes I'm like this is pleasant but it seems more like a wayward attempt at brilliance. Basically I get a really fake vibe from it if you know what I mean.

Alright, and I guess after having listened to a lot of indie, I feel as if their might be something unauthentic about the whole thing, though at the same time I like this different feeling. It's not an indie album I automatically think "indie" when I listen to it, but I like its uniqueness a lot. I remember when I bought this in 2007, but have since then lost my original copy uggg.

sufjan making an album with the national will rule without a doubt though

I've rejected the band edits a few times. I figured it was BS changes since the album title change didn't match the spelling on the album cover. Why is that?
