Can't wait to see how a song called "Shit Talk" makes me cryrEdit: Exceptionally devastating now that we know it?s dedicated to his partner who passed away earlier this year. rLove you Sufjan.

Stevens delivers a "summary record" conjuring different facets of his previous albums with gorgeous production and soul-crushing lyrics. The record slightly suffers from a middle lull, but it nevertheless is Stevens' grandest artistic proposition since C&L.

Kissing a 4.5 delicately on the bracelet and shoulder blades. Better than Carrie and Lowell as far as I am concerned, as sad as I am that that is the benchmark at all!!

Sufjan Stevens returns with a return to his personal side with ?Javelin? in which we get that lush and every glowing indie folk and singer/songwriter that he presented on ?Carrie and Lowell?. I will make it clear I was not and am still not much of a fan of ?Carrie and Lowell?. Everything felt too one-dimensional and slow resulting in a hard listen regardless of the lyrical content. ?Javelin? on the other hand incorporates a much stronger sense of atmosphere and presence making for a much better listening experience from front to back. Those somewhat spacey chamber instrumentals and synthesizer work he presented on ?Planetarium? return here but with a much smaller scale, which is nice because that album can be a challenge to sit through if you?re not ready for it. With that said this album still has some boring components in the middle half that could have been either extended or removed overall. Still, this is one of the most focused short albums from Sufjan in a long time so definitely give it a listen.
