So if he actually finished all 50 states, which would be the most popular, which one would pitchfork give the highest/lowest score to, which one would contrarians love, which one would Fantano love etc.

Also come up with the style of each if you can

some shitty album jacking off how great portland is 10/10

New York most popular, Oklahoma best, Fantano gives a 10 to New Jersey for its similarity to TPAB, contractions love Alabama, "niggers get out" is call the best track

Oklahoma is primarily Native instrumentation, with Cherokee and Comanche singers used for chanting.

Texas would be the worst and Illinois would still be the best.

Carrie & Lowell was kind of his Oregon album

What would Maryland sound like?

this

New Jersey and New York would be a lot more maximalist and electronic, like Age of Adz, though they would each have bits of folkier tinges because of the farmlands and wilderness in each state.

>WORST
Florida , or the story of how Sufjan got his face ripped off by a guy rolling on krokodil

>BEST
Sufjan Stevens Presents: Alaska - Escape!

>Not California

There would be endless ideas for tracks and creativity. Oklahoma Texas Oregon, not so much

Beautiful, Hickish, and Ghetto

>implying suffy wouldn't just make a rap album about kendrick lamar and snoop dogg

Lots of chimes. Lots of horns too, really military sounding

It's all about where everyone is.
Most popular would be a state like California or New York, where all the people are.
Pitchfork would like Illinoise the most because it's one of the first and they're in Chicago.
Fantano would be inclined to like Connecticut because of sentimental value but if one really stood out to him more he'd choose that.
Contrarians would like Alaska.

I'd love to hear "Wyoming" be like a folk/drone album where Stevens sings about the desert with 15 minute long tracks

North Dakota would probably end up being the most patrician.

Maine would be nice

His harsh noise album, "Woe Is Me, Greetings From The Top Of The World: Alaska!" would be the most popular by far.

what would Ohio be?

>largest state in the US with hundreds of interesting locations, cities, and people and a somewhat interesting history
>writing about two black dudes from the same area in southern Californai

Suffy chanting about football while hitting 2 corn husks together

10/10

suffy likes the bbc

Literally the most striped back album yet, reminiscent of Mark Kozelek on Benji

>Texas
Not even from Texas but how could you possibly say that? There's enough material for every state to make an album anyway.

What would be the most boring state to base an album off of?

new mexico

Nah, aliens and shit. Montana.

Indiana or New Hampshire maybe, the South East would start off really interesting (Tennessee, Georgia, Louisiana) but it would get dull quick since the cultures around there are kinda blurred together, if it were to stay interesting Suffy would have to do some INTENSE research on each state

Nah, beautiful scenery to write about

Louisiana, because the perfect Louisiana album was already made.

*would be the worst, is what I meant.

>Most popular:
New York, New York! The (Big) Apple of My Eye -- and My Heart
(Orchestral pop like Illinois with a good bit of showtunes influence)
>p4k highest:
Polar Opposites [Alaska]
(Very lonesome and personal folk, much like Carrie and Lowell)
>p4k lowest:
Give a Hoot a Holler and a Half For the Lone Star in the Sky [Texas]
(A suprisingly bad attempt at country/western with way too much banjo, considered his creatively bankrupt album.)
>Contrarian pick
Pure Sin [Nevada]
(Very dark album, too dark for most fans. Much more serious material including references to the radiation tests of Yucca Flatts and of course Las Vegas' gambling culture.)
>Fantano pick
Same as pitchfork's highest lmao

lmfao

thanks for reminding me that delusional faggot actually thought he could make 50 albums about american states

What about Pennsylvania?
I have no clue about what my own home state would sound like.

He better stay the fuck off washington, thats mount eerie territory.

Arizona would be his "woke" album about social issues and shit. Folk Punk is big here and the politics are pretty extreme on both sides of the aisle (mostly conservative with some lefty anarcho types here and there). It'd probably be his angriest/fastest album, possibly with some traditional Mexican instrumentation.

Almost everyone would write 1000 thinkpieces about it and then forget it a week later, but it would have a large cult following and contrarians would say it's their favorite.

I really dig this honestly. Very Sufjan titles.

Hey, thanks my man

I live in New Hampshire and I saw a squirrel get run over by a truck and keep on crawling even though half of it was flat. If you think that's boring, then get out of my face.

STILLERS

I have a weird feeling that suf would experiment with blending his usual brand of lush maximalist pop with punk for NJ

Nebraska, fuck Nebraska

What would Iowa be like?

Anco

Pet Sounds 2.0
And by that I mean he'd incorporate cow mooing and other farm animal noises somehow while singing about farmer's struggles during the great depression and the Vilisca axe murders.
Oh and corn, can't forget the corn.

>Ian's Pizza
Fuck yeah my dude

Probably, seeing as that's the most popular genre around here. Perhaps a few freak folk tracks, I dunno.
I like to imagine it's a live album performed at the Iowa State Fair, with some random backing band he found at a farmers market.

Kek

It’s his most SJW leaning, but he accurately portrays the actual abuse of native americans and blacks in a sort of bob dylan-esque storytelling.

Similar style to Carrie and Lowell, but is a bit more upbeat, less personal, and has much more instrumentation.

Gets another 9.3 from p4k and they talk about Carrie and Lowell a lot in their review.

It’ll be one of the few albums in this project to be inducted into Sup Forumscore, but will always be shat of for being plebian and too accessible.

What happened to that archive we had where we had already made a fake tracklist set for all 50 states as well as some bonus places?

Yikes this is bad

Ignore the plebs I enjoyed reading through this
