I love how all his songs are so soothing and melodic, and yet some of the lyrics are downright disturbing. for example, one of his songs (can't remember which one at the moment) is all about an actual serial killer, and it's set to nice, soothing, happy music.

. It's been said, however I have to add, Sufjan is fantastic. He does sound like Imogen Heap/Frou Frou I agree, but in his innocenent music he portrays such brilliance. I like track 4 (John Wayne Gacy.Jr) such a beautiful yet disturbing song. `And in my best behaviour
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floorboards
For the secrets I have hid `
As said by Jibber, soothing music.

Showing that we're all just the same in the end ... such a funky message eh.
Those who liked Sufjan should check out Andrew Bird.

For serious, the guy won't stop making bad music. Shut the fuck up Stevens.

I won't delete this one because you seem adament and this one was almost a complete sentence.

I think Chicago is a pretty good song, why don't you like him. Ad I find it humerous that someone with Pentagram in their name is supporting a christian songwriter.
