Checking out this new Sufjan album since it seems to be a pretty major sonic shift and the last few albums honestly just bored me.

1 minute in and this sounds like that BOOTS album everyone hated.

I liked that BOOTS album a bit, but I'm not sure I fuck with this, which is funny because this is similar to stuff I make in ways.

Wow, I absolutely hated that intro track. It's trying so many things at once and failing at all of them. It's like when I stumble into Radiohead fan groups and people say they made songs similar to Thom Yorke's solo work, but it's just this hollow mess.

Two songs in and I like the second song better, but jesus christ does dude need a better vocal chain. These vocals on both tracks so far are way too clean and way too clear. It absolutely ruins the style he's going for and ruins the lyrics.

Video Game sounds like a Weird Al parody of a Beck song. These lyrics are ass.

This shit gonna get a 9.2 and BNM from Pitchfork. Guaranteed. That's how ass it is.

Lamentations' beat makes me wanna punch things with that annoying ass chopping. Sounds like a random chopped vocal sample of a baby vomiting.

Oh god, there's like 11 more tracks?

I want all of these instrumentals so I can fix this shit. There's so many great moments and sound design on these tracks but overall it comes together like a cross breed animal that's a sin against nature.

Tell Me You Love Me doesn't resonate on any level since I hate songs about romance and romantic relationships.

This album was also very clearly made on psychedelics

Die Happy is the first actually interesting track here.

Ativan is also hella interesting. I guess this album just actually starts at Die Happy

Ok I fuck with Ursa Major too. This is very much an entire trip album.

Ok Landslide is corny af again =/

Landslide has the most limp dick synths I've ever heard.

Gilgamesh was ok I guess. Sonically I expected way more from it.

Death Star is just... bad. I've reached the point where my brain is zoning this entire album out again.

Goodbye To All That is kinda interesting again, but still just worn out by this album and its sameyness by this point.

Sugar makes me want an instrumental version of this entire album so bad. I can just vibe and let my brain take me places for that 3 minute intro instead of listening to these absolutely horrendous lyrics about relationships I could not care less about.

This song fucking blows. The goddamned pleading over and over, "Don't make me wait, don't make me wait to long, don't make me sing a sad song, come on baby give me some sugar," is just... woof. I'm picturing Beta ass Sufjan Stevens crooning this to an ugly one night stand in bed.

The Ascension sounds like if Owl City made a hyperpop ballad in all the worst ways.

This album is just kinda reinforcing that I hate Sufjan's voice.
