Is the new Sufjan Stevens album the best album so far this year?
Or am I just biased being a native Illinoisian?

Regardless, it's still pretty damn good.

1. No, that would be The Mars Volta's "Frances The Mute"
Next question.

Haha, a friend of mine loves Sufjan Stevens. I haven't listened to him much though. Might have to check it out.

2. I've only heard two tracks off Frances
I really dug one of them and wasn't too keen on the other.

I'll have to explore further.

I liked Sufjan's older stuff fine, but this Illinois album is like a revelation. Check out "John Wayne Gacy, Jr." and "Chicago".

3. The thing about TMV is...
You have to listen to their albums as wholes. Their like movies in a sense, all one big coherent composition.
