If the point of music is for us to take something from it - whether it be an emotional response or a change in mindset or any sort of inspiration - then The Age Of Adz is the most selfless album ever recorded, and Sufjan is the most giving composer.
The Age of Adz complements rather than distracts from the heartrending melodies and ambitious orchestration underneath.
Words such as “experimental,” “bloated” and “different” will be thrown around, but the truth is that despite the new angle The Age of Adz does nothing but solidify Stevens’ position as indie rock’s most beloved and foremost purveyor of orchestral chamber-pop.
