@@KyleReidMu I love rap as much as Sufjan Stevens. Most peers can't open their ears to other stuff.

Age of adz is in my opinion the best album ever made. Impossible soul is definitely humanity’s peak.

I leave for one year and come back to this being my first time having the most liked comment under a video.

Revisiting this video because I’m in a sufjan phase, my favorite has always been Carrie and Lowell because it hits this emotional precipice just takes you further down his emotionally rockslide. Like goodness it’s gorgeous

An incredibly beautiful and heartbreaking album..

Fun fact all your S tier albums came out 5 years apart of each other. Loved sufjan for a very long time now so always enjoy more people spreading the word about him and his music

and sufjans latest S tier came out a whole 8 years after his last, when javelin came out in 2023. insane.

What do you think of "A Beginner's Mind" with Angelo De Augustine. I thought it was beautiful, and easily an A or even an S tier Sufjan Record for me.

@@KyleReidMu it’s incredible in my opinion, the melodies and songwriting is some of his best, and their voices compliment each other so perfectly to the degree where at points you can’t tell them apart. Very stripped back

I really appreciated that you didn't dismiss Age of Adz, it's an excellent album! Yes on I Want to be Well. But, kinda bummed you didn't mention Owl and the Tanager from All Delighted People, that's my favorite!

It is a beautiful track but not one I really go back to a whole lot unfortunately

I have been thinking the same thing....Illinois is the greatest!!! It's so diverse, yet fluid; it's full of amazing melodies, instrumentation, and songwriting.....it's such a grand, complete, complex, yet so accessible work. It's like the pinnacle of album structure, concept, and composition

Illinois is possibly the greatest album ever made imo, not a single track that isn't next-level gorgeous edit: also i love some of Age of Adz but sometimes it really hurts my head to listen to. a lot of the tracks are just way too long and end up devolving into repetitive noise (I Want to be Well mostly). i can listen to it sometimes but it can be a real chore to get through other times

Hi Ingrid, thank you :)

1. Age of Adz. 2.Carrie and Lowell. 3.Seven Swans. 4.The Ascension. 5.Illinois. 6.Michigan. Best songs 1.To be alone with you. 2.The Predatory wasps of the Palisades are out to get us. 3.Fourth of July. 4.Mystery of Love. 5. Visons of Gideon. 6. Detroit. Great Video and great channel. Sufjan Stevens is obviously Bisexual which is what songs 1 and 2 are about. A beginner's mind is awesome especially back to Oz but its a 50/50 collaboration so i was not comfortable placing it with the other ones. Portland is a great city.

1. Illinois 2. Michigan 3. Age of Adz 4. Seven Swans 5. Carrie and Lowell 6. Planetarium 7. The Ascension 8. A Sun Came Haven't got through the rest but this is my tier so far

Particle Physics from Silver and Gold goes into an SSS tier above every other song in his discography.

my tier list except i havent listened to half of them and i literally cannot listen to carrie and lowell bc it makes me too sad (also im including my rajneesh bc i love it) S - Planetarium (HUGE UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME I FUCKING LOVE THIS ALBUM jupiter is one of my favorite songs ever) My Rajneesh (is it an album?? no!! idc tho its one of my favorite songs rn) Age of Adz (this album slaps so hard i cannot explain it) A - Illinois (dont get me wrong i love it its just not my type of music as much) Silver and Gold (listen ik its a christmas album, i do not care, this is one of the most nostalgic albums ever for me) B - The Ascension (its very cool!! not the best tho) C - Aporia (the runaround is the only song that isnt boring....)

@@KyleReidMu I think Carrie and Lowell is one of the most beautiful, haunting, well arranged albums out there. But for me, I far prefer Sufjan's complexly orchestrated and experimental/non-lyrical (I forgot to mention, The BQE goes on A-Tier). Sufjan gets pinned as sadboy music so often, and I think it's because people are mostly familiar with C+L. But I think there's so much other joyful and expressive work out there in his discography that I think C+L overshadows. I feel like that album is so one note, and there are many other notes to Sufjan!
