OrgVisual Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 Haven't got time to deep dive into this but it's such a stunning and gorgeous record. I don't know of a better word to describe it. Truly competing with Carrie & Lowell as Sufjan's best album
Kh-Loud Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) i finally got a chance to listen to the album from start to finish and all I have to say is just “WOOOW” - it’s such a beautiful piece of art. Everything from his song writing, to productions, to musicality, to his emotional delivery are impeccably stunning. There’s such a warm and tenderness to his breathy vocal delivery.

Chemist Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 Finally got to listen to the album. Truly incredible. We are so blessed to have an artist like him still releasing music
kandicha Posted October 7, 2023 Posted October 7, 2023 This album floored me - so lush, beautiful and emotional. I’m gonna have this on repeat just to feel everything.
lonnie Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 It's so good and sounds like a mixture of Age of Adz and Carrie and Lowell. He definitely didn't make the right lead single pick but one of his best works

Eeveelution Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 **** Talk is such a devastating song... already one of his best for me.
May Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 I got high w my bf yesterday to listen to this and my bf ended up collapsing after the 3rd song so I had to carry his ass to bed i listened to the rest on the train today and I LOVE IT. I don’t revisit The Ascension much but I can definitely see myself revisiting this. It’s a true return to form imo
Pendulum Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 This is in his top 3 alongside Carrie and Lowell, and The Age of Adz, both of which I revisited today. What a king!
James_Dean Posted October 8, 2023 Posted October 8, 2023 The RoughTrade bonus tracks are giving the Carrie & Lowell follow-up I needed so bad
gardendreams Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 Saw a tik tok about him and I'm in it now, wow!!
Achilles. Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 Hit a hundred first week plays for Will Anybody Ever Love Me. I’m thinking: Will Anybody Ever Love Me **** Talk So You Are Tired Goodbye Evergreen Genuflecting Ghost Everything That Rises A Running Start There’s A World My Red Little Fox Javelin But really only the top 2 and bottom 2 feel set so far. Wonderfully consistent quality makes it hard to rank.
Avenger Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 10/10 album once again! This is his second best to me after Carrie and Lowell already!
WildAmerican Posted October 13, 2023 Posted October 13, 2023 a week in and this thing is here to STAY top tracks: My Little Red Fox **** Talk Running Start There's a World
