^ Omg that is so true.

Of course Adz is Sufjan's Pele, where he battles demons that haunted him when he was young - his fear of volcanos (Vesuvius) is an obvious reference to Pele.

His heart has been broken but that doesn't mean he will let it get him down when he can discover electricity and have a dance party. The Macbook is his harpsichord, and he revells in the blips, and weird sounds while searching for his own voice again. This means his voice travels through various filters and the use of autotune as a musical device represents his quest for his sense of self recovering after a mysterious illness. Where Tori ventured into the realm of Lucifer through the use of mind altering substances and a shaman in South America, Sufjan's mind travelled from his sickbed and he began to focus on himself instead of telling the stories of others.

The playing with the listener about what gender he loves in Impossible Soul is totally the new "are you gay, are you blue"? - "boy we can do much more together"... And just look at how he sings "I Want To Be Well" over and over - it's just like the theme of renewal and rebirth that we see in Pele from "Way Down" onwards. there's nowhere else to go but up.

He might not be sitting on a chair with a gun in his lap on the cover, but we all know Sufjan has guns. And who wouldn't sit in his lap?
