Carrie & Lowell is a bit too dull for me, never been my style for a whole album, can recognise the talent but it's just so sleepy and bores me. Can't give it more than a 2.

I like it better than the album included in the book but Sufjan still doesn't really do a whole lot for me.

Indie folk, lo-fi. Muy rollo. Un 2.

Stevens may be the most overrated musician of the last 30 years. His breathy delivery smears every track with a "I'm 13 and this is deep" vibes and every song is the same. He defo peaked with the song Chicago which, while great, is very repetitive lyric wise. But that track is on Illinois. Here, one his SEVENTH album, he just muddles along making the same song over and over. Its the feeling of the snooze alarm going off on a Monday over and over.

He sounds like he's singing with his eyes closed. How could anyone fail to be moved by this sentimental, softly-sung tosh?
