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

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

@KyleReidMu 2 года назад

An incredibly beautiful and heartbreaking album..

@AugAug989 2 года назад

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

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 2 года назад

I actually haven't found the time to listen to it yet. I know, I know, I'm super late. I'm sure I'll love it thought because I'm a fan of both of them

@seth6691 2 года назад

@@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

@ethancundiff6422 Год назад

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

@miarose5156 Год назад

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

@axelmartinez3540 3 месяца назад

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

@WahooNikki 2 года назад

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!

@timob1681 Год назад

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

@blinddig7525 4 месяца назад

Even its weakest track is an 8/10 (seer's tower)

@yorick22 2 года назад

Good list! Cool to see Planetarium in S tier even though it's an unpopular opinion. You gotta listen to the other albums! They're so good!!

@hannahr2824 Год назад

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

@Nirvanafanboy1991 2 года назад

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.

@KyleReidMu 2 года назад

@KyleReidMu 2 года назад

Interesting list! What are your thoughts on Carrie and Lowell?

@MrSeanmacisaac 2 года назад

@@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!
