This album is a masterpiece. Could it be better? Yes, it could be Carrie & Lowell. But why would we want 2 Carrie & Lowells if we can have this? Yes, this is one of the most creative albums in modern music history, and as every creative album it has some tracks that don't fit in well, but it really doesn't matter when more than 5 songs are 11/10. Album mark: 9.7/10
At its best Illinois is an immensely sincere album with gentle strings and soft vocals but it has far too much filler for its own good.
Original, strange yes but very good too!
Very good but a little too much filler.
Kinda strange at first but it really took some time for me to appreciate it. I always liked Chicago but other tracks like Come On Feel The Illinoise and Casimir Pulaski Day were just a good.
92/100
Fav tracks: Casimir Pulaski day, The Predatory Wasp Of The Palisades Is Out To Get Us!, Come On! Feel The Illinoise!
Very nice album. Unfortunately, I didn't like Carrie & Lowell nearly as much.
The songs that are good are stirring, beautiful, and emotional. There are a lot of these good songs, proving that Stevens is a very talented individual. However, as everyone else here is saying, there is far too much filler. An album with this much filler cannot and should not be objectively great based on half an album of amazing songs. Stevens overcomes the filler problem on Carrie and Lowell down the road, but for now this album evens out to a 7.5/10.
Best Tracks: Come On, Man of Metropolis, Chicago

The songs more than make up for the dozen or so filler tracks
