Can we have a thread to talk about pic related?
Been hearing great and not-so-great things on the place it originally leaked so wanted to have a place to share thoughts.
6 or 7/10 for me, not as great as I'd hoped. Mars even kind of made me laugh at it a bit.

And let's all make sure we keep the anon who originally shared in our prayers tonight. Make sure to whisper "anon" before you fall asleep.
I like it lots

Amazing
>>72972936
not sure what this is but you guys got me excited
medicore, and I say that as a massive Sufjan fan
I like it so far
Its great so far but what the fuck is wrong with the mixing? The instrumentals are incredible but clouded by this shitty mixing/foggy feeling.
as someone who doesn't really know sufjan, it sounds cool to me
>>72974263
>clouded by this shitty mixing/foggy feeling.
I believe that may be to represent space itself.
>>72974293
Yea that was my guess but it sorta fucks up some otherwise very beautiful songs. I guess its at least dedicated to the idea.
I thought the first half of Mars was really embarrassing.
What genre would you guys label this under
>>72974759
AOTY-core
>>72974759
Not great with genres but I'd call it orchestral/electronica pop maybe?
>>72974869
I'm thinking Experimental or Alternative or Art Pop?
>>72973326
I-I- I think he's trying to communicate, guys...
Has anyone done the quiz yet?
listening to it rn
just got tickets to the brooklyn show in july. pretty hyped desu
>>72974919
YOU BETTA STOP THAT RACIS SHIT NIGGA
BEFO I GET CRANKED
Feels like age of adz 2.0
>>72972936
it's like a worse age of adz
>>72975201
>>72975401
They're really nothing alike outside of the electronic instrumentation and vocoder vocals.
This is more of a symphony while adz is more of an indie folktronica album.
Comparing the two is bizarre once you get past the electronic sufjan part.
see is the link in the OP good quality? because the leak coming out so early is making me skeptical desu
>>72972936
I heard Saturn, and it was shit. Is the rest of it better than that?
>>72975555
It's quite good. You could have downloaded it and listened to a song and determined for yourself in the time it will take for you to make that post and read mine. What a waste of fucking quads.
I really like Moon and Mercury.
>>72975635
>>72975684
Mercury is one of my favorite sufjan songs now
>>72972936
Listenable for more than one rotation
>>72975137
Fuck off pajeet
>>72975555
A press release version of the album came out recently. I can only assume the leak is from that.
Its fine.
I would recommend seeing it live, provided they're still gonna be doing it with an orchestra in that setting.
The album version is surprisingly meh.
>>72975770
ur mommas pussay is suprisingly meh
haha gotem
im sorry man that was uncalled for i already feel bad :(
>>72975801
No it's okay you're quite right in fact
>>72975858
oh. well carry on then
>>72973105
ur wrong
>>72972936
>>72974745
what's wrong with Mars?
soof is really the GOAT...
wow
Jupiter is 10/10
Wait, I still don't really get what this is.
Is it a Various Artists album that just features Sufjan? Or is it a full fledged Sufjan album that was planned for release this year but leaked before the announcement?
>>72976617
?
It's been long announced. It's been performed for about 6 years at this point now.

>>72976617
Its a collab album but its pretty much a Sufjan album.
If the other names weren't included, I wouldn't have had a clue.
>when the bass kicks in on saturn
>>72976650
>>72976773
>>72976810
I guess I'm an idiot that hasn't been paying attention :^)
My bad, boys
>>72972936
His second or third best imo. Will take a few more listens but its great. Way better than C&L
>Im such an idiot
>>72977297
I'm hesitant to compare this to Adz but Earth is definitely this album's version of Impossible Soul. That moment is great.
