I gave this record a listen, and hundreds of hipster-reviewers wasn't wrong. Illionois is one of the best albums of 2005 for sure. Have any of you listened to Michigan? What about his earlier releases?

i was quite into illinois for a while, but i've grown a bit tired of it... it's not that good, really. 4-5 great tracks. seven swans is far better! it blabbers more about jesus, but it's a source of inspiration for him and it doesn't affect the music in a negative way. really nice and minimal folky album with one especially brilliant tune called 'a good man is hard to find'. check it out!
enjoy the rabbit is alright electronic stuff, but i'm not really into it at all. a bit mediocre.
michigan is illinois jr. (or illinois is actually michigan sr., but whatever), so it's the same thing only with less... everything, soundscape wise. it's just as good as illinois, though.

i agree, 4-5 great tracks and a bunch of ho-hum. could have been a much better album if it were trimmed down by 3 or 4 tracks.
i still quite enjoy it though.

Michigan is good, but not nearly as great as Illinois

the avalanche has a couple of tracks that make it worth it.
dear mr. supercomputer for example.
and illinois is great. more than 4 or 5 great tracks imo. tho one does get tired of the similar sounding arrangements in every track.

Just this album? Or you don't like his music in general?

He is I have to say, my all time favorite musician. All my inspiration come from him, and birds.

if swears can't dance and imagine picking up hot chicks at discoteques to it, it's not good.
