Sufan Stevens Is One Of The Great Artists Of Our Time| Posted August 08, 2007
First there was Elvis, then The Beatles, then The Bee Gees, then R.E.M., then The Backstreet Boys, now, it's Sufan Stevens. The proceeding was a list of influential and great artists of their time, who did, are, and will leave an impact. To sum this album up, you'll either love it or hate it. To find out, I recommend hearing "Chicago", "Jacksonville", "Come On! Feel The Illinoise!". These are the highlights of the this unique great, classic album.
The only track I hated? "John Wayne Gacy Jr.". That's right, a song about a serial killer. Strange? Listen to it. It's the most creepy song in the world. That said, how many people can make a song the elicits such emotions, to that degree? Sufan can.
I personally love the album. You might hate it, or you might see the art, or the light in this case. Underrated? Sure. Different? Oh yeah. Art? Grammy worthy. Try it, buy it, love it, hate it, frame it, play it.
One of the best albums ever| Posted February 05, 2008
Sufjan Stevens has created a masterpiece! Each song conveys a unique feeling which is amazingly powerful. I have to say this album has weight, that's the best way I can describe it. Illinois is awesome, and Illinoise is equally great.

Sufjan is amazing. A lot of people don\'t enjoy his music, but I think everyone should have a listen at least once. \"The Man Of Metropolis Steals Our Hearts\" basically STOLE MY HEART...haha...after hearing that song I was hooked!!
