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.
