Re: Sufjan Stevens

So which of his songs have you heard and why do you dislike them, Martbowski?

Brand New Hero, I only have Illinois but it's unbelievably good, album of the year without a doubt. Download John Wayne Gacy Jr and Come On! Feel The Illinoise! and that should give you an idea of the different sides of the album.

Re: Sufjan Stevens

I've first bought Illinois and since then bought Michigan, a sun came and seven swans.
They're alll very good, but personnally i think i like seven swans the most.
Illinois and Michigan have some of the greatest songs, but have some weak songs too.
But it's just me.

Re: Sufjan Stevens

seven swans has the track 'to be alone with you' which is my favourite sufjan stevens song.

Re: Sufjan Stevens

Illinois is my album of the year at the moment.

Seven Swans is great, Michigan also (although the latter is a tad too long)

Re: Sufjan Stevens

Illinois is a superb piece of work. Probably my favourite of the year.

Re: Sufjan Stevens

Sufjan is yesterday's music. If you don't have all his albums (including the little known 'a sun came' and 'enjoy yr rabbit' Yr not really indie

:P

P.s get seven swans first, it's ACE

Re: Sufjan Stevens

Re: Sufjan Stevens

Not the ones in his state's project - they have to be named after states, i don't think there is a state in the US called bollocks.

The other ones could have been called load of bollocks........but if that was describe the music therin that would be the wrong title.
