Not Sufjan's best, but better than Mass Craptastic.

Also, do great albums 20+ years old by Robyn Hitchcock, Cheap Trick, Big Star, The Beach Boys, XTC, The Buzzcocks sound dated?

All of which I'd name check when referring to Mass Romantic. Great pop stew if you will.

Really not sure what the New Porn haters aren't hearing here.

My mother saw it from far.
She took her purse to the bed.
I saw a sign in the sky:
Seven horns, seven horns, seven horns.
I heard a voice in my mind:
I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord.
He said: I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord.
He said: I am Lord, I am Lord, I am Lord.

He will take you. If you run,
He will chase you.
He will take you. If you run,
He will chase you
'cause He is the Lord.

'Cause He is the Lord...
Seven swans, seven swans, seven swans,
seven swans, seven swans...

(He's Episcopalian...)

I've no problem with New Porns... just that they are a little fluffy compared to the folk-rooted narratives that are foundationsl to SS. I like Talking Heads more than Cheap Trick, what can I say...
