Re: For those of you who have never heard Sufjan Stevens
I will now officially never listen to the bulk majority of people's music recommendations on this board ever again. This guy makes freakin John Wayne Gacy Jr. seem fascinating in a frightening yet ordinary fashion; I garuntee you most people could not do that. I'm sure the hundreds of critics raving over this guy as album of the year are utterly clueless. For awhile I thought OOT may be on track to knowing good music and then that was completely derailed. If anyone deserves a boost into the public eye as the next big thing its this guy [although I do in some way enjoy having his music as something of my own]. September 13th in Cleveland I will be there.

Your mistake was not giving them the far superior Casimir Pulaski Day. But, one of the best albums of the year IMO. [/ QUOTE ] There's about 10 songs on the album that run close to me with Casmir Pulaski up there. I just figured Chicago would be the most accessible.

Re: For those of you who have never heard Sufjan Stevens
I'm reminded of Billy Wilder's description of a great movie: "Three great scenes. No bad scenes."
It might as well be applied to albums as well. And this album has 7-10 great songs and no bad ones. Will

Re: For those of you who have never heard Sufjan Stevens
This is the best album that has come out this year...until the new Broken Social Scene is released. Don't listen to the haters. I went off in an earlier thread about this; nothing since listening to SDRE Diary for the first time, has had such an impact on me like this album.

Re: For those of you who have never heard Sufjan Stevens
Was't there a thread about this a little while ago, and basically everyone said it was awesome?
There must be some kinda snow-balling effect goin on in these threads
