Free Music Notes for Seven Swans
Free Music Review: Lovely
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is so beautiful and spiritual - I love how he carefully crafts songs that incorporate his beliefs into his everyday encounters. His music is so understated with complex, full melodies. The whole experience of Sufjan is inspiring and very, very meaningful.
I have never been so comforted by a banjo.
Free Music Review: WONDERFUL MUSIC THAT MEANS SOMETHING...
Hit: 4 Stars
I caught Sufjan and the noisemakers on Austin City Limits the other night (morning really). I was pleasantly surprised that one of the four songs feautured was "The Dress Looks Nice On You." it is one of the songs that I truly treasure from this disc.
Seven Swans is not Illinoise. Where Illinoise is all about grandeur, beauty and story-telling, Seven Swans is about reflection, mystery and transformation. I find this to be some of Mr. Stevens's most compelling music.
"All The Trees Of The Fields Will Clap Their Hands" is my favorite song here by far. And that is saying something. There is not a weak song on this disc.
This is wonderful music that means something. You can't put a price on that.
I recommend this CD.
Free Music Review: Classic at its best
Hit: 5 Stars
Just purchased this album yesturday and was very excited to find out how perfect it was. My wife is not yet a fan of Sufjan's, so I am going solo to his only appearance in LA in October to see him, but the wife actually says that she kinda digs this album. So its definetly Sufjan but its more acoustic and more banjo than his newer stuff which is great. Check it out if you can find it until its re-released...Free Music Review: Like Iron and Wine, but more spiritual
Hit: 5 Stars
From the banjo on the first song to the lyrics "Son of Man! Son of God!", Sufjan pulls together an album worth remembering. Highlights include: All The Trees..., To Be Alone With You, Abraham, We Won't Need Legs to Stand, and Seven Swans. At times poetic, at times prophetic, and at times just lush and beautiful, Seven Swans will grow on you more and more with every listen. With its gorgeous overt Christian lyrics and folksy songs, Sufjan has proven that he is an upcoming singer/songwriter that means business. In an industry flooded with such perverse imagery, Sufjan gives us the word of God and the observations of an imperfect man who recognizes God's perfect power. Whatever the subject, Sufjan can tackle it head on without compromising who he is. For fans of Iron and Wine, this CD is a must have.Free Music Review: Excellent
Hit: 4 Stars
This was my intro to Sufjan Stevens, and it was a wonderful place to start. I was at first a little turned off by the Christianity themes, references, etc., but I couldn't deny that I loved the music (and oddly enough, The Transfiguration, perhaps the most blantantly Christian and certainly most Biblical, is my favorite song). Perhaps not as... impressive as Illiniose, but if you enjoyed any of his other albums, you should certainly get this one, too, or if you're just checking it out, at least listen to the samples so you know what you're getting into, or rather, just get it. You'll be pleased with this purchase.
