I don't like all of it either, Karen. Some of it sounds like Sufjan was just noodling around in a studio, which I suspect he was. I don't think there was a lot of effort or serious intent behind this. But I do particularly like "Conme Thou Fount of Every Blessing" and "O Come O Come Emanuel."
And I do think his last three "real" albums are as creative as any three albums released by anyone.
I found these last year just after christmas. they're great. let me know what you think.
