Sufjan Steven's new album "The Age of Adz" is incredible. I am not a fan of Steven's previous albums, including the celebrated "Come On Feel the Illinoise!" Too folksy and too much over-the-top orchestration.
However, "Age of Adz" is a completely different direction and sound for Stevens. While still encompassing his folk-like demeanor, the sound is very electronic. I mentioned to someone earlier today that "Age of Adz" sounds like a combination of "Fleet Foxes" and "Kid A." The combination is classic and has given me a whole new perspective on Sufjan Stevens. If this is his new approach to his music, I foresee myself buying a lot more of his albums in the future.
Well done, Sufjan, well done.
