late (in completing the album, I started when it released but got sidetracked x) but I love this album, particularly the beginning and end of it is super strong

I haven't heard all of his albums but he hasn't captured my attention this much (started with that release of America, what a track) since I was first made aware of Illinois.

I'm finally listening to this now and it was worth it to hear 'Make Me An Offer I Cannot Refuse' even if I don't like any of the other album tracks. What a song. wub.gif

(I'll post again in about an hour when I've heard the rest xox)

My other highlights from this (alongside all of the singles) are 'Ativan', 'Run Away With Me' and 'Tell Me You Love Me' - the production is excellent on basically every song though <3 (and that transition from 'Death Star' to 'Goodbye To All That' was so smooth, almost didn't realise it was moving on to a different song! not me thinking this was an original observation and reading back through the thread to see Cremey already said that exact thing). Think this album narrowly edges out Fleet Foxes as the best release from last week for me.

'Make Me An Offer I Cannot Refuse' tho still. Instantly my fave song I have ever heard from him.

Absolutely adore this album, though I've only listened to the odd (mainly recent) Sufan single before this - and he has some quite eclectic sounds laugh.gif should I start from his first album?

If you want to see his journey then yes start at the beginning... just don't give up before Illinois!

I don't rate much the first couple albums, A Sun Came and that electronic one, the name escapes me now...

but Michigan and Seven Swans are both great, I love the sound of banjo, so anything with banjo is great imo... I still remember the first time I heard that song about the Widows and the Fatherless, that was his first songs that really made me a fan...
Seven Seas is his most folkish probably but lots of nice sweet songs...

this is one of his best youtube videos ever:

Those sales are so low.
Wasn’t surprised at it not charting last week but I thought it’d do much better this week with physicals included.

Strange how Carrie & Lowell did so much better, I would’ve thought this would be the one to do well, being his modest major release after Mystery of Love etc.

‘Tell Me You Love Me’ is the Sufjan power ballad I didn’t know I needed.


Same here - pleased that this has been given the single treatment as it's one of my favourites from the album.

This album is still growing on me, I'm starting to think it could be potentially his best? ohmy.gif Or at least second to Illinois
