My vinyl arrived today and it really is beautiful. The Jonsi vinyl also arrived and that’s pretty stunning too

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.
(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!
'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
 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. |

QUOTE(blacksquare @ Sep 28 2020, 08:31 PM)  ‘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?
 Or at least second to Illinois
