Customer Review: Just bought it, now I'm throwing it away....
I am a big admirer, after first buying Seven Swans (still my favorite), then Illinoise and Avalanche. I wanted to fill up the collection so I got this along with Michigan and a Sun Came... This is such a waste of money if you're looking for his usual brilliant compositions, melodies, and voice. Simply NOT enjoyable.
Customer Review: Not what I expected from such a great artist
I purchased this album, having already owned his "Illinois" and "Michigan" albums. My expectations were not met in the slightest. While Sufjan Stevens is hit or miss within his good albums (he experiments, and I dont like some of those experiments), I felt like writing NFG on this CD after I listened to it. [NFG is an engineering term for No F###ing Good] It is an abstract piece of music, no melody, no harmony, no beauty, no meaningful lyrics. Nothing worth listening to, in my opinion. I was heartily disappointed in an artist I am usually praising. Know what you are getting into with this one.
