Dec 9, 2015It's an ambitious project-even for Sufjan. Fortunately, it works much more often than it doesn't. The long plays and sometime overly long screeching notes are balanced out by the more soft passionate instrumentals and cleverly crafted lyrics.
CHECK OUT?- Absolutely!!
BEST SONG- All Delighted People (Classic Rock Version)
WORST SONG- All Delighted People (Original Version) -
Sep 18, 2010This is a triumphant return for Sufjan Stevens. At first blush, I was a little uncertain, but multiple listenings yield great rewards. "All Delighted People" (both versions) and "Djohariah" deserve especial praise. Don't know why reviewers choose to ignore this EP/album. An essential addition to the Sufjan canon.

Sep 8, 2010Great "EP" to back from since "The BQE". Sufjan's songs are very new and original sounding that I think any Sufjan fan, such as myself would love. He writes about his sister in the last song and the "homage to the apocalypse" throughout the album. I can't wait to see what he does for the next album.

Under The RadarOct 25, 2010The EP is a quiet but forceful return. [Fall 2010, p.63]

As per usual, the record is immaculately crafted, but a bit "proggy," which could serve to disappoint listeners who have been waiting patiently for the artist to return to the engaging, patchwork pop/rock of 2005's Illinoise. Fans of the quirky, less immediate moments from that album will find a great deal to love on this precursor to October's full length Age of Adz.

I think All Delighted People is more fun to talk about than listen to even though I have trouble discerning what it is I'm trying to say.
