This album is one of the most cohesive and ingenious things to come out post 2000. Even the tracks that are short serve a pupose, they are acurately titled. And the songs themselves are very beautiful and melodically fantastic. The album does become a little flouncy at times but it's not too over the top, i just see it as Sufjan showing a little more of his outgoing personality. "Chicago", the single from the album, is one of the best singles to hit the market since "Maps" by the Yeah, Yeah, Yeah's. I would say that anyone who respects music and enjoys hearing innovative new things should pick this one up.
A friend of mine recently introduced me to Sufjan's album, Illinois. After hearing just two or three tracks, I was really impressed by the quality of the music and promptly bought the cd. I have not been disappointed. There is not one song that I dislike (an uncommon occurrence). Sufjan Stevens' music is fresh and catchy--however, the lyrics have substance. This music is not fluff, but it is still fun. I am making a point of introducing other people to this album. The responses have thus far been very positive.
I had read other reviews for this CD that were quite positive. I am into checking out new artists and material that I haven't heard. This is not a rockin' effort, but a mellow performance. The references to places and characters in Illinois are interesting. After first listens I didn't get the hype, but this did grow on me with further spins.
22 mellow, melancholy, mysterious tunes from the amazingly prolific Sufjan. I like everything he's done but I believe Illinois is his finest project. Great artwork and backing by Danielson and the fam are an added plus. 4 Stars.
