I disagree with the multitudes of blogs saying that this is an amazing song and hoping Sufjan goes in this direction. I have endless respect for Sufjan, but this made me lose a tiny tiny bit of it, which was restored after hearing another new song of his, "There's Too Much Love". That song sounds actually like Sufjan, it's different than the old stuff, but still unique and quirky. I just can't believe the same guy that had jaunty 5/4 rhythms with horns and trumpets, vulnerable and beautifully sung lyrics, turned to White Stripes cover band in one song. Even his voice doesn't sound remotely similar, I honestly thought this was a joke or something.
I really hope his new album goes in the direction of "There's Too Much Love", not this song.
