    Disgusting. Absolutely atrocious and I believe that this has tainted the name of Sufjan Stevens. I repeat: disgusting.

    He shares [Elliott] Smith's gift for sketching in complex emotional states with telling details. [19 Mar 2004, p.66]

    A consistently moving, subtly beautiful experience.
