Sufjan, where the hell have you been?
Illinoise, his last serious studio record, will forever be one of my favorite albums of the past decade, but it seems and sounds like a lot has changed since then. For one, the 50 states project seemed to have been a pretty big joke, which really pissed me and many of his adoring fans off. I really wanted to hear a New Jersey record. He probably would have just took a crap, recorded it, and put it on a loop for an hour. All kidding aside though, what has not changed in the last five years is Sufjan's amazing ability to write music. There seems to be less orchestration and more electronic-based loops on "Too Much," or perhaps a combination of both at points, but it really doesn't matter that there is this change from his past work. The song is still just as good as anything he put out in the past 10 years.
