Yeah, Michigan is a great one too but I felt like Illinois expanded on all of the songwriting and stories told in Michigan to make an even bigger, bolder record. If it's a rainy day I'll always pick Michigan over Illinois, though.

I had a really big Age of Adz phase too but I've never really felt like going back to listen to it since. It's almost too overpowering of a record

Michigan seemed way more personal in a specific way. Sufjan grew up in Michigan so that makes sense. Illinois was more of a walk-through history. Still very personal and emotive, but not specific to him. -With the enormous exception of Casimir Polanski Day -one of my favorite songs ever.
