I haven't technically listened to this album by itself. But I did see the movie yesterday, and HOLY **** besides the fact that it's one of the best movies I've ever seen, this ****ing soundtrack was consistently blowing my mind. It may or may not be a different experience without the visuals and emotional blows the the story delivers, but this music is undoubtedly great.

Yep, this album is honestly incredible. Even if you haven't seen it I would recommend it.

Sufjan Stevens - Seven Swans

Time to get into Sufjan Stevens more. Loving this.

Chrysalis · 11-23-2014, 06:52 PM

Probably one of the most flat-out fun albums that I've heard. I really need to check out more '90s hip hop if there's more stuff like this.

Also, "Quinton's on His Way" is by far my favorite skit on any album.

Model 500 - Deep Space

I seem to have taken a huge liking for minimal, repetitive electronic music lately, and this is ****ing beautiful.

Kayo Dot - Coffins on Io

Welp, I think that I've found something that might dethrone To Be Kind as my AOTY after a few more listens.

This is my favorite Sufjan album. Its stark, minimal acoustic whispering just sits with me better than his more outlandish psychedelic baroque pop. Also, I think his lyrics fit folk music so, so well. Wish he would do a sequel of sorts, or at least another folkier album.

I agree. Seven Swans and Michigan are my favorites of his.

I know people are wary of 'essential' albums, but I've always found them to be a pretty good introduction to well appreciated bands. And I need more funk in my life. Thank you, Louis CK, for featuring one of their songs in your depressing comedy show, digging it.

On a Bright Eyes binge the last couple of days. The more I work through the discography the better it gets.

Bright Eyes - Letting Off the Happiness

Bright Eyes - Fevers and Mirrors

If there's an album in the world that gives me more of the sheer joy that I get from this one then I've never heard it.

The Black Angels—Passover
I got this album several years ago, liked it a lot but for some reason never listened to it much. Lately I've kind of rediscovered it and can't stop listening. Sounds a little like the Velvet Underground playing psychedelic music, if you're unfamiliar. There's a certain doomy quality to it too.
