Since I live in Illinoise, I always make it a point to listen to this amazing record in the car when I am driving far distances. It puts you in such a euphoria. Sufjan is not just an incredible story teller hes an incredible musician. Regardless of how you’re feeling, you’ll feel like a weight has been lifted off you’re shoulders after one song. Its hard to describe.

It might sound cliché to actually write that a cd has changed a life, but it has. Sufjan Stevens Illinois is one of the albums that when you listen to it. You reflect on life in general. I despise music where you do not think about the lyrics. Listen and Learn

My son and I saw him at the Majestic Theater in Detroit. What a fun show – and a surprise. Like finding a hidden treasure? I think I first heard of him (them) reading Rolling Stone.

This album is worth listening to because there’s a song called “They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From The Dead!! Ahhhh!” That should be reason enough!

This sufjan guy is onto something. He’s got his own sound – post-modern folk? – and really knows how to write a song.

it’s EXTREMELY rare that i will hear a song on the radio that is so good that i actually have to call the radio station to find out information about it…

“chicago” by sufjan stevens is SO PRETTY! i adore this song (it’s stunning), and am eagerly awaiting to listen to the rest of the album…
