[Sufjan Stevens] All Delighted People EP

Thanks I'll check him out, need to mix up my genres. Been listening to a lot of rap lately

 

listened to the whole thing on fri... great album. opening track sounded very beatles-esque.

 

Its pseudo-Christian folk sub-pop.

 

Loved Illionois I thought he wanted to do something like that for a bunch of states, if not all of them.

 

Michigan is one I really like. I haven't listened to any of his stuff from the last four years, and I'll check out this EP.

Friends make fun of me for liking him. I guess he's way emo or something like that.

 

listening now on that website

but I gotta ask, how is it an EP if its an hour long? Thats longer than most LPs

 

I thought Michigan was a bit better than Illinois, I love them both though.

Enjoy Your Rabbit is fun if you like electronic, Seven Swans if you need a religious fix.

His xmas songs are ok, but I like Bright Eyes' more. (i know puke rite?)

I'll check this out. He's going on tour this fall.

 

I played a Bright Eyes away in the manger I think for my friend and it creeped her the hell out.

 

man i thought i classified music. but you bring it to whole other level. you might ought ta tone that down a little.

 

I'm not a Christian, but I thought Seven Swans was one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. The track Vito's Ordination Song on the album brings tears to my eyes.

I didn't like his electro XMAS or BQE material, but I enjoyed his other two albums.

I would rate:

1)Seven Swans
2)Michigan
3)Illnoise

I haven't listened to too much of this new EP, but it sounded good on first listen. He is my number one played artist on my Last.fm account though. And I have over 50K scrobbles.

 

Vito's Ordination Song, Casimir Pulaski Day.


Good stuff.

 

It's off Michigan, isn't it?

I love seven swans. the transfiguration is cool as hell and I don't even really like the banjo. The dress looks nice on you is also one of my fave all time songs of his.

My favorite sufjan song, however, is Flint.

 

Oh yea. You're right. That is from Michigan.

Plus he's just so dreamy, with that banjo.

Can't wait his "I'm an atheist now" album.

 

I can't tell you how many hipster christian girl-boners this video gave my friends and i a few yrs ago at baylor. oh, sufjan...

Is he the lead singer for System of a Down?

 

Yeah, he decided to go all soft though.

 

I liked Illinoise, but truthfully didn't have much desire to give it repeated listens.
