Lmk where you would rank these albums. Also, tell me who's discography I should rank next! So many great artists out there, I need help choosing!
have you heard the new album olympus
I feel insane when I talk to my friends about illinois. finally someone who gets it
Haha! Most of my friends listen to rap so this is my way of talking about the music I like to people who might actually care lol
@@KyleReidMu I love rap as much as Sufjan Stevens. Most peers can't open their ears to other stuff.
Age of adz is in my opinion the best album ever made. Impossible soul is definitely humanity’s peak.
Not even close, with all due love and respect
i dont get the hype for impossible song
I leave for one year and come back to this being my first time having the most liked comment under a video.
Revisiting this video because I’m in a sufjan phase, my favorite has always been Carrie and Lowell because it hits this emotional precipice just takes you further down his emotionally rockslide. Like goodness it’s gorgeous
An incredibly beautiful and heartbreaking album..
Lmaoooo. I died when John Cena showed up for John My Beloved.
Fun fact all your S tier albums came out 5 years apart of each other. Loved sufjan for a very long time now so always enjoy more people spreading the word about him and his music
and sufjans latest S tier came out a whole 8 years after his last, when javelin came out in 2023. insane.
I have been thinking the same thing....Illinois is the greatest!!! It's so diverse, yet fluid; it's full of amazing melodies, instrumentation, and songwriting.....it's such a grand, complete, complex, yet so accessible work. It's like the pinnacle of album structure, concept, and composition
What do you think of "A Beginner's Mind" with Angelo De Augustine. I thought it was beautiful, and easily an A or even an S tier Sufjan Record for me.
I actually haven't found the time to listen to it yet. I know, I know, I'm super late. I'm sure I'll love it thought because I'm a fan of both of them
@@KyleReidMu it’s incredible in my opinion, the melodies and songwriting is some of his best, and their voices compliment each other so perfectly to the degree where at points you can’t tell them apart. Very stripped back
I really appreciated that you didn't dismiss Age of Adz, it's an excellent album! Yes on I Want to be Well. But, kinda bummed you didn't mention Owl and the Tanager from All Delighted People, that's my favorite!
It is a beautiful track but not one I really go back to a whole lot unfortunately
I’ve been binging all your videos this morning and I really like the way you talk about music! Can’t wait for more! :’)
Thank you! I'm glad you like the videos. I'm actually working on another Sufjan video right now :)
Cant wait for the new album review bro
Illinois is possibly the greatest album ever made imo, not a single track that isn't next-level gorgeous
edit: also i love some of Age of Adz but sometimes it really hurts my head to listen to. a lot of the tracks are just way too long and end up devolving into repetitive noise (I Want to be Well mostly). i can listen to it sometimes but it can be a real chore to get through other times
Even its weakest track is an 8/10 (seer's tower)
I really like your editing style
Thanks! I appreciate that :)
i love sufjan and this is such a great video! also, you're very endearing :)
I just discovered you why are you so underrated 😭
I have over 150 plays from seven swans. I really like the folk feel the album has.
It does have a really nice folk feel. It's a great album!
Not sure if I can do it but here's an attempt at ranking
1. Carrie & Lowell
2. Michigan
3. Seven Swans
4. Illinois
5. All Delighted People
6. The Age of Adz
7. The Ascension
8. Planetarium
9. Aporia
10. A Sun Came
11. Enjoy Your Rabbit
Wow very interesting ranking! I didn't think anyone would rank Michigan above Age of Adz but you proved me wrong
I pretty much agree with you on this one except for michigan and all delighted people swapping
Based Michigan enjoyer
Dont do enjoy your rabbit like that 😩
Illinois denier spotted
The video I didnt know I wanted, but the one I needed
YES! Looking forward to watching this
I'm glad you're excited!
definitely age of adz
It's such a good album!
Amazing content ❤️
Thank you so much!
Are you planning on reviewing Javelin? IMO it's S-tier, and I think that's the fan consensus too.
It's very high A for me
only Illinois and C&L are S for me
Adz is a high high high A tho
Christmas albums got left out? Dang. They're all over the place in terms of quality but Star of Wonder and Sister Winter are imo up there with Illinois and AoA
Javelin has become strong competition!
KYLE! KYLE! KYLE HAS ARRIVED!!
sadly I have not listened to any Sufjan Stevens before, what album would you recommend I start with?
I would suggest starting with Illinois! It's a pretty good introduction into his music
Since you are an AnCo fan can we get a tier list? Maybe after Time Skiffs drops. And plz include the E.P.s cause Water Curses, Fall Be Kind , and People are amazing
Ya definitely! I plan on doing a video on ANCO before the new album drops and then I'll probably do a tier list on them a little later in the year
ITS HERE!!!
Nice usage of jet grind radio ost
dude just gonna say my life be more fun with a friend like you got the vibe i'm lacking.
Love u reaction💛
I am follow now!
Thank you!
rock solid tier list
Im so happy to see other people obsessing over Sufjan. He’s such a talented musician.
Are you going to post takes on A Beginners Mind / Javelin? They got some bops.
Epic 💕🎶!!!
I love glazing our favorite artists
but i can confidently say Illinois is one of the greatest albums of all time
even by 2000s standard with In Rainbows, Madvillainy, TCDO, etc etc it's on top imo
Thanks baby, i just started listening to hims
He's soooo good
alright alright tier list time
S- Carrie and Lowell, Age of Adz, Illinois,
A- All Delighted People, A Beginner's Mind, Seven Swans
B- Michigan, The Ascension
C- A Sun Came, Enjoy Your Rabbit.
Speaking of A Beginner's Mind, where would you put it on the list, (if you feel you've listened to it enough to have a definitive ranking)
Definitely a solid list! I actually haven't listened to A Beginner's Mind at all yet because I've been pretty busy since it came out.
@@KyleReidMu thank you very much. I will say it took me a few listens before i really got into it. Cant wait to hear your thoughts when you have the time to check it out!
Hey, have you gotten a chance to listen to Javelin yet?
I agree with you 100 percent
1. Age of Adz.
2.Carrie and Lowell.
3.Seven Swans.
4.The Ascension.
5.Illinois.
6.Michigan.
Best songs
1.To be alone with you.
2.The Predatory wasps of the Palisades are out to get us.
3.Fourth of July.
4.Mystery of Love.
5. Visons of Gideon.
6. Detroit.
Great Video and great channel.
Sufjan Stevens is obviously Bisexual which is what songs 1 and 2 are about.
A beginner's mind is awesome especially back to Oz but its a 50/50 collaboration so i was not comfortable placing it with the other ones. Portland is a great city.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I love Portland haha. Your list is interesting! What makes Seven Swans number three for you?
Hey Kyle u r great.
Hi Ingrid, thank you :)
Particle Physics from Silver and Gold goes into an SSS tier above every other song in his discography.
Kyle CAN U PLS REVIEW JAVELIN!!!
1. Illinois
2. Michigan
3. Age of Adz
4. Seven Swans
5. Carrie and Lowell
6. Planetarium
7. The Ascension
8. A Sun Came
Haven't got through the rest but this is my tier so far
You couldnt wait like a week to include his new album that was released today?
I could've... But I didn't feel like waiting lol. It'll definitely be included if I ever do a part two covering his other albums
I think Vito (of Vito’s ordination song) is pronounced like “veto”
my tier list except i havent listened to half of them and i literally cannot listen to carrie and lowell bc it makes me too sad (also im including my rajneesh bc i love it)
S - Planetarium (HUGE UNPOPULAR OPINION TIME I FUCKING LOVE THIS ALBUM jupiter is one of my favorite songs ever)
My Rajneesh (is it an album?? no!! idc tho its one of my favorite songs rn)
Age of Adz (this album slaps so hard i cannot explain it)
A - Illinois (dont get me wrong i love it its just not my type of music as much)
Silver and Gold (listen ik its a christmas album, i do not care, this is one of the most nostalgic albums ever for me)
B - The Ascension (its very cool!! not the best tho)
C - Aporia (the runaround is the only song that isnt boring....)
Good list! Cool to see Planetarium in S tier even though it's an unpopular opinion. You gotta listen to the other albums! They're so good!!
Enjoy Your Rabbit never gets enough credit imo, but good list!
agreed i think the album is great though the more electronic and experimental feel may not appeal to all
where would you put beginner's mind on this list?
I'd probably put it in the a-tier
S: The Ascension, The Age of Adz, Planetarium, Illinois
A: Aporia, Michigan, All Delighted People, (Run Rabbit Run)
B: Carrie and Lowell, Convocations
C: Enjoy Your Rabbit, A Sun Came
Interesting list! What are your thoughts on Carrie and Lowell?
@@KyleReidMu I think Carrie and Lowell is one of the most beautiful, haunting, well arranged albums out there. But for me, I far prefer Sufjan's complexly orchestrated and experimental/non-lyrical (I forgot to mention, The BQE goes on A-Tier). Sufjan gets pinned as sadboy music so often, and I think it's because people are mostly familiar with C+L. But I think there's so much other joyful and expressive work out there in his discography that I think C+L overshadows. I feel like that album is so one note, and there are many other notes to Sufjan!
@@MrSeanmacisaac This actually makes a lot of sense. I completely agree with what you say here! Thank you for taking the time to explain :)
What about the avalanche?
do death grips tierlist next
Not a bad idea...
Ok but My Rajneesh?? God Tier
I don't think I've heard that one in a while. Looks like I gotta go back to it!
planetarium got SNUBBED
i would have to say :
1. Carrie & Lowell
2. The Greatest Gift
3. Illinois
4. The Ascension
5. A beginners mind
6. Planetarium
7. Seven Swans
8. Michigan
the other albums just dont do it for me , although futile devices is in my top 10 sufjan songs , and the call me by your name songs are s tier material
Dang, I'm sad not seeing Age of Adz on your list. Although I do understand why some people might not vibe with it
@@KyleReidMu futile devices is beautiful but the rest of the album just doesent do it for me
@@KyleReidMu what did you think of the new album? id give it an A tier , 7,5/10
@@sim7477 I liked it! I'd probably throw it in A tier also
DUDE THIS IS THE LAST FUCKING TIME IM GOONG TO ASK YOU, WHERE THE FUCK IS THE MONKEY MAN ZANE, HE IS THE REASON I SUBSCRIBED
He's here. Waiting for the right time to return
Oh thanks 🙏
Where would a Begginers mind rank in this...?
1. Carrie and Lowell
2. Illinoise
3. A beginner’s mind
4. Age of Adz
All 4 S tier for me
Lol “carol and Lowell “
Age of Adz
Silver & Gold S teir - fight me
Kinda sad you didn’t mention The Avalanche, personally I like it more than Illinoise.
You really do look like a Kyle
Lmao. Thanks
Listening to Illinois then Carrie & Lowell generated my bi-polar disorder
How about the avalanvhe how about the avalanche how about the avalanche
age of adz is my kid a
my favorite Sonic is Shadow(:
Wat
Unpopular opinion maybe but The Avalanche is the best Sufjan record.
Hot take: Beginners Mind is better than Carrie and Lowell
VOCE ESTA ERRADO!!!
michigan is NOT everyone's favorite???! easily his best imo.
