Sufjan Stevens - Javelin (October 6th, 2023) • Page 4

Impossible Soul is the best and most ridiculous song ever. And yet I listen to it over and over.

 

What a beautiful track. Javelin will be perfect for some melancholy autumn drives through the mountains.

 

You’re all overthinking it, Illinois is still his masterpiece

 

It is, but so is Adz

 

This is his magnum opus:

 

hahahaha, oh jeeze

 

Illinois and Carrie & Lowell are two sides of the same genius. Absolutely perfect records.

My thing with Adz is it's a mixture of the most genius stuff he's ever created and a couple rare songs I could take or leave.

 

I’ve always been much more drawn to his singer-songwriter stuff. Adz is cool but I lost interest in The Ascension pretty quickly. I plan on revisiting before the new album drops, though.

 

The thing about Adz is that it has Futile Devices, which is a top 5 Sufjan singer songwriter song.

 

is it bad i prefer the Doveman Remix from CMBYN?

 

It's not bad but it's definitely wrong

 

Every time I listen to A Sun Came, I remember it's not very good

 

I think we can all agree that, overall, Sufjan is good

 

yes

 

My first time hearing about this and my favorite takeaway is that Marc fucking Rebillet was the one who found it.

 

did we ever get confirmation if this was a hoax or not? i think the consensus was that it leaned that way, but AKR never outright said it was.

 

My vote is hoax

 

I sometimes think I have unpopular Sufjan Stevens opinions - I prefer Illinois to Michigan and The Ascension to Age of Adz.

Carrie & Lowell is a masterpiece though and my favourite of his albums.

He has been so prolific recently. Can’t believe how many releases there have been. I eagerly anticipate this one!

 

Justice for the All Delighted People EP

 

Speaking of unpopular SS opinions, here’s mine: C&L tracks are only listenable in their live versions

 

shut this thread down.

 

What an insane take, I almost admire it

 

Many are way better live, WAY better. Would kill for a studio version of those versions. Never cared for C&L but that tour was fucking wild

 

That 20 minute Blue Bucket of Gold? Just fuck me right up

 

Adz and All Delighted was his best era. hope we're getting some of that energy back with the cover art comparisons, Ascension was a fucking slog
