what the fuck does The Age of Adz even mean, i mean really



is it some sort of Communist manifesto against cappytalismé or what, and if so, is it pronounced "the age of odds" because it's trying2BdEEp



tough questions

Yeah my rating really hinges on this closer well I really get around to fully listening to it. I sort skimmed through it and yeah pretty much conrad summed up my thoughts. I mean at 25 of 75 minutes I don't think it's crazy for me to say it could make the album either a 3.5-5. 5 because I think this is just crazy and bombastic enough to warrant it. Need WAY more listens though.

Except he's not inconsistent. Seven Swans and Michigan are also great albums.

what other bands does this kris think have unendowed fanbases? i love sufjan but i will concede that "if i was crying in

a van with my friends" is quite a pussytastic line

Wow, I can't believe there's a review for this already. I'm gonna let this sink in for a bit before I rate it.

Great Review..I have no idea how you made your mind up about this album so quickly though. I've been listening to this for three days now, and it's either the greatest thing I've ever heard, or positively the worst. I really have never encountered that with any other album before.



Got to give it to Suffy though..this is definitely a game changer.

I've never listened to Sufjan before, but this is great. Such a massive album. 4 right now, could go to 4.5 with more listens.

I really don't like autotune, esp. when people who can actually sing (like Bon Iver) use it. It would've been better if he had not used it on Impossible Soul, but it's not a dealbreaker for me.

I'm convincing myself to 5 this, I think. I have a really convoluted reason that will be my review and it's based around modernism.

haha I'm not entirely sure yet. And it would be a really weird 5 because it's one of those conceptual fives. But seriously this is great I don't get everyones hate this has great songwriting.

album's good but i think there are spots where the orchestration clashes a bit. other than that it's remarkably solid

the orchestration is my favourite thing about this, adam thomas. aside from everything in impossible soul.
