Illinois
Sufjan Stevens

It's very easy to be intimidated by the long and zany titles, however, you'll have to push that aside in order to listen to this album. This was very fun to listen to because of the many references to my home state, Illinois. I came to this with high expectations and they were met. I found the most important thing about this album to be the lyrics, especially in the song Casimir Pulaski Day. They were very touching and well written. Overall, this was a good album.
