Sufjan Stevens - Enjoy Your Rabbit
Review by Rodrigo Flández Santos
Enjoy Your Rabbit is the sixth studio album by American singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens. Released in 2001, it is a departure from his previous folk-oriented style, instead incorporating electronic and experimental elements.
The album is a concept album based on the Chinese zodiac, with each track named after a different animal. The tracks are instrumental, with the exception of "Year of the Ox," which features vocals by Stevens.
While some fans may have been initially taken aback by the departure from Stevens' traditional sound, Enjoy Your Rabbit has become a cult favorite among his discography. The album showcases Stevens' versatility as a musician and his willingness to take creative risks.
The tracks range from glitchy and frenetic ("Year of the Rat") to dreamy and atmospheric ("Year of the Horse"). The use of electronic instruments and production techniques creates a unique and otherworldly atmosphere throughout the album.

No. This is a bunch of self-indulgent noise that will test even the most patient listener's patience. While it suggests an interest in electronica that surfaced later in The Age of Adz, it isn't actually any good.

@farfanugenmaster if your going to go the crazy heavy metal route, you should look up some meshuggah or the album "obscura" by gorguts...lots of odd meters there.
2023-03-26
Woah almost sounds like The Mars Volta
2023-03-26
@bradenls0 does using unusual time signatures count as showing off? this is nothing to show off compared the shit crazy people like dream theater pull off
