Sufjan did a good job of making an 11/8 time signature sound good.

@alwaysriteneverwrong Nicee :) I have no idea what 11/8 is, but I guess it's a pretty tough time signature?

@candlewick163 Hey, thanks for watching! Feel free to pass it forward too. I need more music lovers to experience the genius that is Sufjan.

11/8 time signature isn't even a complex idea that guys just a dick who wants to show off his musical knowledge.

[RadioActiveCat17]

Go Rabbits!

[farfanugenmaster]

@bradenls0 does using unusual time signatures count as showing off? this is nothing to show off compared the shit crazy people like dream theater pull off

[hosway1992]

Woah almost sounds like The Mars Volta

[knaepsimon]

[alwaysriteneverwrong]
