Not nearly as long as:
"The Black Hawk War, Or, How To Demolish An Entire Civilization And Still Feel Good About Yourself In The Morning, Or, We Apologize For The Inconvenience But Youre Gonna Have To Leave Now, Or, I Have Fought The Big Knives And Will Continue To Fight..." |

Awesome title, wonderful song. Gave it a 9.
Especially the polyphonic part where the backing singers spell Illinois and Sufjan first sings Caledonia, later wails something, and then dubs the chorus. Just like we're used to hear in Sufjan's songs, the composition is sheer flawless.

More intriguing music from this guy. Another original sound.
I just don't want to listen to him or his rambles.

Every song I hear from this guy is amazing! I went to see him at the Metro in Chicago and he was sold out, so the concert crowd was quite unpleasant and I was sorry to leave early, but I couldn't take being a sardine anymore. But what I did see was fantastic!
Only someone who knows Illinois could appreciate a song about Casimir Pulaski Day! haha

Sounds better than most of the other stuff I've heard from Sufjan. Especially that damn Jacksonville thing or whatever it's called :puke:
And what's with the song title:
"They Are Night Zombies!! They Are Neighbors!! They Have Come Back From The Dead!! Ahhhh!"
That's one helluva song title. Very long.

No kidding. At least Sufjan's voice doesn't do anything to alarm you... |

YES!!! Freakin' awesome song...but it'd be fantastic if it also included "Lets Hear That String Part Again, Because I Dont Think They Heard It All The Way Out In Bushnell" that's immediately after it.
This is almost like folk-funk, or something.
