Sufjan Stevens - Javelin (October 6th, 2023) • Page 10

It makes me so happy that my favorite musicians are still dropping absolute bombs like this nearly 2 decades into their career

 

Really need to hear those CD bonus tracks.

 

This record is a mix of the best parts of C&L and his first 2 records. I'm feeling all the possible feels.

 

opener is instantly one of his best. sheesh

 

So good. Perfect distillation of his entire career.

 

shit talk lets GO

 

“I will always love you, but I cannot look at you”.

Goddamnit Sufjan.

 

Legitimately flabbergasted at how good this is. I know I shouldn't be, but like... I didn't expect a contender for his best album lmao. Wow.

 

Agreed with all of this. While I still love and occasionally revisit "The Ascension" I kinda started to feel like the true magic of Soof was gone.

I was wrong. This record is basically a 10. I've spent my entire morning at work texting my friends telling them they need to listen ASAP

 

He just came out. The album is dedicated to his partner Evans Richardson who sadly passed away earlier this year.

 

that’s so fucking sad

 

Yeah honestly a really sad way to come out. I hope he’s doing okay with everything.

 

i haven't listened yet, but this is gonna be on my mind when my copy shows up today. so sad.

 

what a motherfucker of a year this man had, jesus

 

jesus christ.

 

He’s been thru so much

 

that is so sad

 

Wow he’s had it really rough. Though I thought he was already openly gay? Wasn’t aware

 

Also didn’t listen to any of the singles and yeah just echoing all the love for this.

 

What a bittersweet day this must be for him. Kind of incredible that he seems in relatively good spirits considering everything he's been through this year.

Album is fantastic. Can't wait to spend more time with it.

 

Having gone through the album once BEFORE reading about the dedication was enough to bring me to tears but AFTER reading about his partner? I am so sad, and so weepy. WOW.

 

He’s been in the closet until now. There were a few sightings of the two of them together like at the Oscars the year Sufjan performed but he’s never said anything about his sexuality until today.

 

Incredible album that's brought me back in after checking out for a bit, should give his stuff since Carrie and Lowell a spin

 

what a beautiful album, jesus
