Was never really into it when it came out but has been on heavy rotation recently at home and fuuuuuuuuuuuuu
I know Iām in a tiny minority, but adz really doesnt do anything for me. Donāt even like impossible soul.
Michigan and seven swans are the ones i come back to the most these days.
C&l is incredible, but emotionally draining. Cant listen to it too often. Illinois is obviously incredible but i think ive overplayed it, if thats possible.
Incredible
Incredible
(Chill out general levy)
This was incredible at End of the Road, with everyone in the field chanting along.
Always so gutted I missed the Age of Adz shows, my gf went (we werenāt together at the time) and never lets me forget it.
Hate to rub it in, but the Age of Adz show at the Royal Festival Hall is the best gig Iāve ever been to and I canāt see anything topping it.
SO I HAVE HEARD
Been to the last 2 tours and age of adz (brighton) just beat Carrie and Lowell imo
Iāve seen him at the Barbican (Illinois) and at RFH (C&L). I loved the C&L show but it was spoiled slightly by the 15 minute drone-out at the end of Blue Bucket Of Gold, during which I became progressively more concerned about missing our train home!
The Barbican show featured a song called Majesty Snowbird that I donāt think he ever got round to releasing. Amazes me how he manages to write so many songs.
I was at that Barb gig. Front row, full on tears for the entire two hours. Didnāt manage to catch an inflatable Santa
Since then, two Adz shows (one at RFH? the other Primavera), both were justā¦ and C&L at RFH.
Big regrets over missing the Adz shows as Iām a long time fan, but it was logistically impossible for me at the time. Saw him at Dingwalls on the Seven Swans tour and again at Shepherdās Bush for Illinois, before that sublime C&L EOTR set. Heās just such an amazing performer.
Reckon Illinois is probably still my favourite of his albums. The highs (title track, Chicago, John Wayne Gacy, etcā¦) are so good, itās the one I go back to the most. But there is a case for saying that other albums are more consistent.
I just love him, really
Best show Iāve ever seen, that Brighton show.
Same, was delighted he opened with it on the Adz tour. Also a big fan of The Dress Looks Nice on You
Yeah I quite like Adz but itās far from my favourite. Before seeing it live I found it quite a frustrating record
Majesty Snowbird is his best song
I was thinking about this on the way to work, particularly with reference to Vitoās Ordination Song (from Michigan), which appears to be written from the perspective of God, talking to Sufjanās friend. Itās a beautiful and moving song; I was thinking āhow would I feel listening to this song if I was atheist / agnostic?ā - so Iām glad to hear your response.
I donāt think thereās a good case for āEnjoy Your Rabbitā!
Ah, I totally forgot about the two pre-Michigan albums! Iāve never listened to them properly
This is untrue. Itās probably the best thing Iāve ever seen live
