Query: Tries way too hard

I wanted to like this album. I tried. But I have an idea that in 5 years, no one will remember this record. It reaks of Sufjan Stevens trying to be different. Like the guy at the coffee shop who wears the wool cap and army coat, when it is 100 degrees outside. Like his bio on his web site about being found in a milk crate. Like the horrible long titles of the songs. But most importantly, like the music that just does not grab you. You won't be humming any of these tunes at work.It is not horrible. Just not that great. Don't believe the hype surrounding this album. I would say sample some of the songs. They all sound pretty much alike.
