Sufjan Stevens' Illinois gets a 9.2
Although the release date is now delayed, Pitchfork gave Illinois a 9.2 today. Sufjan Stevens is now in the lead with the highest Pitchfork score of the year.
If you look at the comments of my favorite 5 CDs of the year post, you'll see many agree with the greatness.
Chromewaves says "the album is marvelous and still worth the wait." He also has an MP3.
Order Illinois at Insound.

Delayed, my ass. I have an apparently ee-lee-gull copy that I went down and bought at my local independent record store. And I'm damn proud of it.

Was able to buy it on the iTMS before they changed the pic. It's still for sale there, sans supes.
