    I still remember the morning I was disappointed by this album. I woke up and checked, my feed, absolutely HYPED for this new album. I listened and spat out my cereal. Sufjan, you dissapointed me greatly.
    -Sincerely, a fan.

    This is quite overrated and I find the musical presence behind this is quite lacking. Disappointing

    Not going to lie. I expected more from this. However there are some good parts - like when it ended. At least I gave it a go, I'll tell myself.

    Take The BQE on its own terms and there’s plenty to enjoy.

    The BQE is best listened to in complete ignorance of the track titles, packaging, or even professed subject matter. The music speaks best when it speaks for itself.

    The gear changes on this particular autobahn are swift and sometimes a little clunky.
