iTunes Review
It was Hunter S. Thompson who wrote, “When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.” It couldn’t apply more to the work of Sufjan Stevens, who seems to have found a new way of communicating with his 2010 release, The Age of Adz (pronounced “oddz”). After a few gentle guitar notes on the opener, “Futile Devices,” Adz turns towards electronics that connect and splinter Stevens’ worldview and psychic well-being. The percussion turns brittle for “Too Much” and the spacey reverbs laced throughout give things a disjointed feel as the title track, “I Walked” and the choir-doom of “Now That I’m Older” spread out across the universe. “Get Real Get Right” sounds like a dance party where everyone freaks out and speaks in tongues. This child of Talking Heads loves his rhythms but he also loves his avant-garde textures. “Bad Communication” lives up to its title. “Vesuvius” and “All By Myself” find an inner calm amongst the chaos. “Impossible Soul” is an incredibly long closing track that further underscores Stevens’ grand ambitions.
Customer Reviews
Disappointed
While I love artists who take giant leaps in their styles and sounds, I've struggled to find the value in this album. Too far out there for me, and too experimental for me to relax and appreciate it. I suggest previewing the songs before buying. Albums like these are the reasons piracy exploded--why pay for ten tracks when there's only one good one?
(I'm still looking for the good one).

This is in no way easy listening... which makes it simply amazing.
Amazing
After Illinoise and Michigan I didn't think he could get much better. But here it is. If you love Sufjan, you'll love this.
