I can’t even believe a song like Shit Talk exists. Might be the best Sufjan song of all time.

[@dimetrodonz]

I'm a huge sufjan fanboy and this has easily become one of my all time favorite Suf records. I hope he's doing okay 😭😭

[@takashiz-1731]

Honesty same here and also I feel like everyone’s reaction to sufjans music is just “is he okay?😭”

[@agamer4641]

Why tf did I read fanboy as femeboy

[@sundanceekid8]

i think the album really hits differently when you've read the 10 essays he wrote about love, which i like to think correspond to each track 🥺💗

[@annasimmons3825]

Carrie and Lowell I believe was almost 3 years after his mom passed, this album hurts me in a different way as the pain is still so fresh

[@georgeweatherford1027]

I am kind of in love with the way "I don't want to fight at all" starts to sound like "I don't want to fight it all."

[@mmbaszak5028]

Shit talk is just absolute masterpiece. I love this album so much.

[@Deniiiis]

My Red Little Fox was my favorite at first listen. I was suprised by your reactions lol. Idk which one is my favorite now. I think this is probably his best album so far.

[@benmarshall3941]

Agreed!! On first listen, and now with several listens of this project, this song remains my stand-out track. The quietness and the beautifully heartbreaking lyricism on this track reminds me of the best of Carrie & Lowell, while the choral grandness that harmonizes his vocals reminds of the best of All Delighted People EP/The Age of Adz... Absolutely incredible song.

[@RustinChole]

Umph. The piano arrangement on “so you are tired” is so crazy good. Sufjan is such a masterful arranger. No one puts a song together quite like him. Favorite record of 2023, (pretty sure).

[@laurielv]

aches me that he’s been through so much, I love his music so much, he always turns his devastating moments into beauty, I hope he’s going to be okay. This album is fantastic, definitely my favourite.🙏🏼

[@floppy_hands1770]

Felt more folk/folktronica than country

[@SenorMango]

Def not country

[@MrMasterskywalker]

Easily Sufjan’s best album. Every track is amazing in its own way

[@AlbinoBanana2]

Carrie and Lowell holds this spot for me, but this album is a masterpiece. He's absolutely perfected his sound

[@chicagojon1972]

I think My Red Little Fox is the best song on the album, from my first listen on a vinyl preview last week Tuesday through today...and I've listened to the album so many times. I still love practically every song though. Such a heartbreaking masterpiece from Sufjan.

[@michaelbrockman5742]

Everything That Rises (Must Converge) is his salute to the same work by Southern writer Flannery O’Conner.

[@scs998]

My Red Little Fox was one of my stand outs on my listen. Thgouh my favs are Everything Rises, Fox and Shit talk of course

[@supertavio2]

YES YES YES YES

[@tigerbalmks]

nice job boys

[@originalboxelder]

This album is destined to become a cult classic.

[@JoshHinrichs-vv2ft]

Please react to Where the Heart Is by Sweet Pill! Such a cool mathy record!! Sick vocals and guitar/drum parts.

[@georgeweatherford1027]

So many think My Red Little Fox is the best on the album

[@wapuwu]

yoo guys!! I think you should react to the album 'The Last Remaining Light' by Far Caspian, his second and latest album. iT IS AWESOME!! I'm a big fan of his music and you'll probably like it!! :]

[@wapuwu]

+ the bonus tracks Heirloom Pt. 1 and Heirloom Pt. 2 which are INCREDIBLE

[@infiniteversez]
