To me, the best thing about this is I didnt remember MV&IS was some kind of Halloween album, and I'm loving that fact.
I want to say I dont want to listen this album, but that's false, I'm reeeeeaaaally expecting it. To hate it? To love it? Dont know. Just waiting to feel something.
Exactly.
I love his two last albums even more than his first two, that are also great. But the releases that made me a fan were his first EPs.
And these 4 tracks are good, as their non album singles always have been. But nothing else
The first time I listened All Delighted People EP, the Classic Rock version was my favorite one. But everything was so ecstatic that time, it's hard to pick the song that moved me more.
I was preparing to leave my home town, and I fell in love the night before I listened to it. That saturday afternoon I cried in joy with this EP, all the memories that came to me and everything I was expecting from the future. All Delighted People is that and more to me.
I was forgetting something: the last months in this sickening state of things, "I Want To Be Well" is one of the songs that brings me some kind of liberation. But the truth is I can go back to other songs of The Age of Adz and feel amazing, like flying above the shit.
I gotta say two things:
- I love The Age of Adz even more now and it's one of Sufjan's best albums. For some strange reason, I prefer this chaotic version of himself.
- All Delighted People is the most underrated Sufjan Stevens' release.
Nina Sky's "Move Ya Body" brings me a looot of memories, and obviously is a 10. But I love even more their song with Major Lazer.

Thanks to that Spin list, and the issue with Radiohead on the cover asking if they were the greatest rock band back then, I'm the music nerd I'm today. KId A was the album that introduced me into everything that is weird, that changes your perception of the Universe.
Robyn SLAYS the SG Lewis and Channel Tres collaboration. That song deserves a lot of more exposure. And this is really fun. So different from Jonsi! Everything she touches is gold.
That's why it says "some of SP's most influential work throughout the 90's", right?
At the moment I read Mellon Collie I clicked immediately. Everytime I listen to this SP album it gives me some of my best teenage flashes.
I just listened Epic thanks to this review, and "Don't Do It" is the song that blew my mind instantly. How it constructs an emotion, the delivery, the way everything seems to be in movement everytime. You can feel the edge and you don't know how close you are to the end.
SVE is some kind of new goddess in each album. And I still pray to the goddess behind "Jupiter 4" and "Seventeen".
It's my favourite track on Purple Rain. The scene when Prince plays it in the movie is simply one of the best things I've ever seen in cinema, and it's a song I used to sing when words like "I", "would", "die", "4" and "u". It got me some troubles, specially the word "die".
"High Energy" is one of those songs that give me a shot of LIFE at the second I listen to. It's easy, cheap, melodramatic, operatic, and everything I want in a friday night.
