Records of 2010 - 22. Sufjan Stevens - All Delighted PeopleI ain't putting EP in brackets on the title like I'm supposed to. This is an album. It's just under an hour long. Wanted to get that bit out of the way. Let's move on. This is great. It's really nice. It came out of nowhere, sans hype on August 10th 2010. Nobody expected it. It just dropped. That's refreshing. There may be 2 versions of the title track but I don't mind, they're different flavours. As for the rest, I feel that it he's as progressive as ever and pretty folky. He's very pretty, unlike a lot of folk. "The Age of Adz," which came out a couple of months later, is electronic in texture and is a great departure from "All Delighted People," but at least here we have a lot of instruments, a lot of songs exceeding the 5 and 10 (!) minute mark and a nice box of tricks. What a shit description from me. I retire.
