Sufjan Stevens - The Age of Adz

I don't care what backlash may be involved in the following statement: I Like Sufjan Stevens. I can totally understand, and sympathize, with the feeling that he's more than a bit dramatic at times and has had way too much stock put into his career as being The Savior of Songwriting or The Next Big Hope for whatever bizarre reason... But he has consistently written interesting songs to my ears. I like that he's tackled some electronic base to this album and that he continues to embrace an epic platform from time to time (the album has a 25 minute song - it's not always great but it's 25 minutes.. so it certainly has some moments). Long story short, he's not my favorite artist of all time ever by any means but I don't see any reason not to let your Sufjan Love show through; he's making music worth listening to. [www.sufjan.com]
