Wish I could give it six stars
Jun 9 2004
Format:Audio CD
I've never written a review for Amazon.com before, and I am proud to make Sufjan Steven's "Greetings.." my first review.
Truly a gifted songwriter who has crafted a beautiful masterpiece about life in not just Michigan, but combining the depression of our failures, with the joy of the belief in God.
Sufjan never apoligizes for his Christianity stance, it's a part of who he is, I admire him for that, and I consider him to be one of the best songwriters today. I enjoyed "Seven Swans" his recent 2004 recent as well, but it is not comparable to this masterpiece.
Few cds I would give a 10 out of 10,
the only four I would would be
Flaming Lips - Soft Bulletin
Wilco - Yankee Hotel Foxtrot
Neutral Milk Hotel - Aeroplane Over the Sea
Pixies - Doolittle
I am thinking this cd might be near perfect, and time will evaluate it. For now i'll just go to bed listening to his soothing humble voice

Positively Beautiful
May 7 2004
Format:Audio CD
I didn't know what to expect of this album. It popped up as a recommendation every time I looked at other artists' pages. I decided to give it a try and I am so glad I did. The mixture of instruments, ranging from trumpets to the banjo are a beautiful accompaniment to his lush vocals. The track Romulus actually had tears welling in my eyes. You will not be disappointed with this album.

You will fall in love
May 6 2004
Format:Audio CD
This album gets better with each listen. There is a depth to it that isn't available from a top pop hit, yet it can be just as addictive. It's soft lovely melodies remind me of Elliot Smith crossed with Air. Go buy it already.

Use my hands to use my heart
Even though I usually stick to the coasts, I'll always have a place in my heart for Michigan -- I was born there, after all. Read more

Musically Great, Lyrically OK
Sufjan Stevens is certainly the most musically inventive songwriter to come around in a while, and the production and arrangments here are breathtaking. Read more

amazing
I know this isn't all that helpful, but I am rendered entirely speechless by this album. It's subtle, thoughtful, and sentimental (but not overly so). Read more

I don't hand out five stars on a whim. I tend to feel a bit guilty when I do because 99.9% of the albums out there aren't worth five stars. This one is different. Read more

Not so Hot
Michigan is a great title for this album. It sounds like Michigan -dreary, dull, and uneventful. In this respect Stevens does a great job, but why would anyone want music that... Read more

Say Yes! to M!ch!gan!
This brilliant recording is equal parts pop, folk, and storytelling. The pop hooks are inescapable: you'll be soaked with a variety of keyboard and xylophonic bubbles then dried... Read more
