A 2 star review said it was like Bob Dylan jamming out. That's the coolest thing ever. Sultans of swing was stuck in my head after listening

It's a very standard blues album. Joplin does an amazing job on vocals the writing is on par too and the instrumentation is decent AOTY rating: 83

David Brotha Bowie AOTY rating: 82

Just really not for me AOTY rating: 64

Is this the hippyslop that's apparently all over this list

Picture this, you're in a bar and he's playing live because this is so boring it would force people to converse. However I decently don't hate this

Boomers are gonna be mad that I don't give this 6/5

I didn't really like songs of Leonard Cohen. I understand that's hot, I understand the greatness and the poetry but I didn't really like it, probably will give a 2 here. My critiques were: Too poetic - takes away from stuff; not enough instrumental bonus - a major key that I felt was lacking and finally... I want it darker So when the darker, less poetic, more instrumental driven Cohen album comes up I really enjoy it

When my Grampa was talking about Zappa and he went: "his ability to just create instrumentation and write... He's just the greatest" I was thinking of this album. Sufjan is a musical God in man form and how he only gets one entry when he deserves at least 4 is criminal. He becomes a conductor making some of the greatest chamber pop on Come On! Feel The Illinoise (part 1) or They Are Zombies!!! They Are Neighbors!!! He then becomes an expert song writer on tear jerkers such as Casimir Polanski Day or John Wayne Gacy jr. He managed to do different styles on tracks like Jacksonville and it is all held down on a neat concept which we were robbed another 48 albums for Sufjan's voice deserves its own paragraph, it's really good. When I first discovered this album it had a cool cover and I was starting to listen through the AOTY top 100, I hated it, if this was the first time it'd be a 1 and I would be comfortable with that, if this was the second third or even fourth time, it'd be a 1, comfortably. The fifth time I began to appreciate the theatrics of it all and it pretty quickly became a 5 and then a perfect score
