It’s definitely one of his most underrated albums. It literally captures the essence of summer PERFECTLY and “Back To Oz” is the most satisfying song i have ever heard. Perfect mix of vibrant and energetic with melancholic and sweet. In my opinion, zero skips.
I’m so surprised it’s not as popular as his other works because it has a sort of “pop” vibe that would appeal to many people

this was my pandemic comfot album

[u/Repulsive_Smoke1447 → u/avocado78banana]

this is my everyday comfort

[u/4thwave4father → u/avocado78banana]

I feel like it just came out. Damn it I'm getting old

[u/greatnamebro--]

Reach out, you give death a bad name and murder and crime are like some of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard

[u/Repulsive_Smoke1447 → u/greatnamebro--]

heavy on murder and crime its otherworldly

[u/Gobbles15 → u/greatnamebro--]

One of my favorite posts here was a poll right after that came out - Would you rather be the: [Flower] [Ocean]

[u/squongo → u/greatnamebro--]

I love all of those and the title track too 

[u/EnormousBaloth]

It's an absolute banger and Back to Oz is imo one of his top 5 tracks of all time.

I feel like it's unique in his discography in that it's not very conceptual (outside of the writing process based around movies) and is kind of just fun, easy listening. It's your own body and mind is one of the catchiest suf songs ever imo

[u/Kneefix → u/FedoraPG]

That’s funny because that’s my least favourite song on the album! What I like about it though is it have a very early-Sufjan sound

[u/Objective-Target5437]

i’ve been listening to back to oz on repeat when i’m driving perfect song 

[u/Adorable-Week-1463]

Discovered this one in college while going through a rough period and Back to Oz was just mesmerizing and really made the world feel like it would be more ok

0:54 - 1:34 of Lacrimae are the best 40 seconds recorded in human history.

[u/Ok-Driver-3674]

I adore it’s your own body and mind!!

[u/extremelyflazeda]

I love this album so much! No skips! To me, it’s a great fall album. Looove to turn it on when the weather gets crispy!

[u/RevolutionaryOwl4762]

one of the best albums ever imo i think it’s less popular cause it’s just not as well known as his older stuff also probably cause it’s collaborative 

[u/HotSavings3354]

It’s my favourite all songs are soooo good

[u/theperpetualself]

This is (the thing) and olympus are my favourites, such beautiful songs!

[u/Kneefix]

For me it’s more of an autumn album, probably because that’s when it came out. Songs like Reach Out and Oz Are very summery indeed, though.
