Every turn, a user takes one point from a track the user thinks is the worst and gives it to the track the user thinks is the best. Once one track is depleted of points, it goes to the bottom of a seperate best-to-worst list under the track listing. Once a track gets 10 points, the track is put to the top of that separate list. Let's have an example. Sunday Morning = 9 (+1) I'm Waiting for My Man = 5 Femme Fatale = 8 Venus in Furs = 6 Run Run Run = 4 All Tommorow's parties = 6 Heroin = 3 There She Goes Again = 4 I'll Be Your Mirror = 6 The Black Angel's Death Song = 4 European Son = 1 (-1) Notice the user has taken the final point from European Son and given it to Sunday Morning. The separate list will be under lines under the track listing. ------------- 1. Sunday Morning (top of the list) 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. European Son European Son is the worst decided on, and Sunday Morning is the best. The next track to gain 10 points will be put at the #2 slot, then 3, then 4 and so on. The next track to get their points deplete will be put at the second lowest slot, then third lowest, and so on. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Concerning the UFO Sighting Near Highland, Illinois = 5 The Black Hawk War, or, How to Demolish an Entire Civilization and Still Feel Good About Yourself in the Morning, or, We Apologize for the Inconvenience but You're Going to Have to Leave Now, or, 'I Have Fought the Big Knives and Will Continue to Fight Them Until They Are Off Our Lands! = 5 Come On!

Chicago only at 7 is not okay

I always wondered why Chicago was the big single from this album, it's one of my least favorites.

Also, has anyone else noticed the similarities between Chicago and The Transfiguration from Seven Swans? If you haven't, listen to the end of The Transfiguration when he sings "Lamb of God, We draw near" repeatedly. I swear the instruments are playing the same notes as "All things go, all things go" in Chicago. And in my opinion, The Transfiguration is the far superior song.

Yeah I agree with you, (And I think Sufjan confirmed that too in an interview?). Still, the second side of Seven Swans has some pretty fantastic stripped down moments, particularly that haunting title track.
