Title: A Staggering Work
Review: I had never heard of Sufjan Stevens. I did know that I am from Illinois, I have an odd fascination of UFO's, and this album jumped out at me solely based on the title of the album and first track.My my how lucky I was. It took me months of listening to even find my favorite moments (The baseline of "Zombies", seeing the predatory wasp for the first time, Carl Sandberg's query, the great emancipator... I could keep going).Very few people are able to write songs with such instrumental, thematic, and lyrical complexity and still end up with songs that are melodic and listenable. This work is extremely impressive across the board.I highly doubt he can re-create this effect for more than one or two more states, but if they are New York and California I would be thrilled.
Is the review positive or negative?
