After hearing the backstory of this album, it hits even harder. It sort of combines all of Sufjan's strengths. Beautiful
I have nostalgic memories of listening to this on my dad’s mp3 player but coming back to it, it holds up incredibly well. The production sounds crisp and it does everything right that alot of 80s metal does wrong. The concept is pretty cool and the songs are well written. Essential Prog-metal album!
It'll take some time for me to gather my thoughts on this album, for now let’s just call it a masterpiece!
The album that got me into the Beatles. I actually like the more quirky songs on here quite a bit!
Separating the art from the artist can be difficult, but this album is a milestone in hip-hop! It doesn’t flow as well as I wish it would and the ending doesn’t work for me as much as the rest does, but overall this thing is incredible!
Incredible energy, and it has aged magnificently! Post-Hardcore Classic!
This is great! Part of me wishes that the middle section was a bit more out there and chaotic like the beginning, but then again the whole album is incredibly cohesive and flows beautifully!
