First (slightly drunk) impressions of Sufjan's "The Age of Adz"

Image
The album begins softly and sweetly with "Futile Devices", it's strongly familiar and reminiscent of Sufjan's usual sound,  but it all turns hard the moment "Too Much" starts. At first I thought this was going to be one of those slightly experimental Sufjan songs that are almost unlistenable yet still amazing, but it turns out this song has quite a catchy chorus, and it's catchy in a weird way that leads nicely to "Age of Adz". This song is crazy, absolutely crazy and strangely cinematic, not my favorite, but it's certainly a statement about Sufjan's new sound and evolution as a singer. I guess I should miss his old style more but I honestly can't because this new era is just as interesting as the one that was marked by Illinoise.
