Glad they explained the pun behind “Illinoise” I was really lost there

Glad they mentioned it was a Sufjan Stevens record, glad they mentioned Chicago was an urban environment... we could keep being this cynical but it gets annoying

I think they actually missed the reasoning behind the title? I'm pretty sure the University of Illinois (the same one they're dressed as) uses "Come on Feel the Illinoise" as a huge part of their sport's chants. I don't think it really has anything to do with the song they brought up.

@@ElishaDavid i'm guessing that the song definitely inspired the chant but still the album cover is definitely in reference to the chant if what you said is the case

This album is a masterpiece.

jmacflair my favorite description of the album came from a Sufjan interview with MTV. He said he wanted the album to be a mix between brilliant and a sixth grade talent show, which I think fit perfectly.

Such a classic album. This album is so special to me. Casimir Pulaski Day brings me to tears man :c too many memories and lost loved ones

This is a very special album to me.

so many tracks to cover on that one

This may sound overly naiive but despite the name of the album, the names of the songs, and the lyrics, it never quite clicked for me that this music was explicitly tied to experiences and history unique to the state. Learning a little more context re-frames the entire album. Makes me want to actually read the lyrics instead of just enjoying the sound of the music.

This album is a masterpiece. In my opinion, one of the best albums of all time.

you guys should do Funeral by Arcade Fire! please!

How could you make an Illinois "exploration" without even mentioning Predatory Wasp, the best song in the entire album?

Love this album

This man. His music. His albums. They saved me plenty of times. Thank you, Sufjan Stevens. Keep on making music, please

This is by far my favourite album

Decided to revisit this album today and this video randomly appears. A nice compliment.

My favourite Sufjan album. Good choice Pitchfork.

I've never listened to any other album as much as I have this one by a long shot. It's the musical equivalent of damn good crack, but far more addictive and infinitely more worthwhile. There's an intrinsic reason to why he wears angel wings; this is pure and profound elevation.

One of my favorite Albums

Brings me back to my senior year of high school. I had the biggest crush on him, what with all that talent and those obscenely good looks... sigh.. p4k making me feel like a schoolgirl, again 🤤... Seriously, though, it’s definitely not my favorite of his album’s anymore, but it was the album that converted me to a fan, and started this 13 year love affair I’ve had with his music. Sweet love for Sufjan Stevens! 🙏🏼🙌🏼🙇🏼‍♂️

still waiting for that mysterious documentary Sufjan!! ;-)

Thanks Pitchfork.
