Ok. What do you guys think/feel about this release? This is the first stuff I've heard by him and I'm not so sure where i stand. Part of me really likes and is drawn to this album, but part of me is not so sure due to the complexity Philip Glassesque at moments) and length.

seven swans all the way. it lacks the complexity and length you're not a fan of.

Listening to it now... again. Not saying I don't like it. It IS addictive.

Very nice album, I love the production, so precise and layered. But none of the songs have stuck/are sticking with me... no clever hooks, no great lines, nothing like that. Great while it's playing though.

I don't like it. It's all samey, and the background choir grates after a while because it's on almost every track. Nice melodies and songs etc though.

the first half is like really fun, and smart and great, then it starts to sound like christian music of some sort.
but it's great anyway. and michigan's great too.

that's probably because sufjan is a christian who makes christian music. though i'm not a christian myself, i've come to accept that beautiful music, literature and art can and has come from this particular religion. probably due to the works and prose of t. s. eliot and milton.

he's playing here tonight and i'm not going. i liked seven swans and the michigan album, but he's getting increasingly jesusy and his voice sounds like a pedophile's.

I've found that it has grown on me tremendously since I first heard it. I'm currently listening to it twice a day. Really can't pinpoint what it is that I like so much - I just feel an urge to hear it, and when I'm listening I just love it and have the best time. Good headphone album as well. It did seem a little samey to me at first, but the more I hear it the more distinctive the various tracks become.
