DAngerer09 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I hope his next album shys away from this sound. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalzunfield Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 It's odd and my reaction was "ouch." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
So Long Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 that made me cringe a little bit. And I was just thinking last night "wow, I haven't listened to Sufjan in a while." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I hate Sufjan Stevens. I like this song, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 it's a total mess with no discernable/memorable melody as for it being out there, it's not really that far off his really early stuff at times Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mystik Spiral Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 i have to admit i kinda like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
virtualreason Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 It has a certain loveable quirkiness to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Rufer Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 He definitely has previously done nothing for me either. But this one I like a good deal. Sounds a bit like something that could have been on the first Wellwater Conspiracy record. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheMaker Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Ouch! Sort of fun in a reckless way, but goddamn, talk about tuneless. You'd never know one of the more literate and accomplished tunesmiths in modern pop was responsible for this thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TCP Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 I like it... I like it a lot!!! Do you guys think this is what he meant in that P4K interview last year where he said that, he's going to be doing some Sonic Youth inspired stuff? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 as for it being out there, it's not really that far off his really early stuff at times Very true. That's what I thought when I first heard it. Sounding like his early stuff, though, would seem like big a step back for him. Sounds like he was just messing around and having fun, though.

LouieB Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Sufjan is still the most syncopation deficient artist I know. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deepseacatfish Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Sufjan is still the most syncopation deficient artist I know. LouieB Hilarious, but oh-so-true. He's very "white." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 god damnit. just when I thought I couldn't hate him any more... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
H to the ickle Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 At least it's kind of different sounding than his last two records of soggy complacent sleep-inducing pap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LouieB Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Hilarious, but oh-so-true. He's very "white."At least someone here knows what the hell I am talking about. Illinoise is maddeningly devoid of any musical tension produced by the music being slightly off the beat. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 this just goes to show that sufjan can take a shit on a peice of plastic and people will still eat it up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 this just goes to show that sufjan can take a shit on a peice of plastic and people will still eat it up. God damnit, just when you thought you couldn't hate him any more. 12 hours later you had to post the same thing? We get it, you don't like Sufjan Stevens. I don't think people are really eating it up, thus far. It seems the only people who like it are the people who didn't like much of his previous stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HighFives Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 sorry i didn't know my opinion was so offensive. EDIT: oh yeah I wasn't really talking about any one here just a few of my friends thought this was the greatest thing in the world. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
