    The combination is ethereal and transcendent.

    Stevens ventures widely on this 85-minute disc to find the best way to express what turn out to be basic home truths.

    Where he used be be so proficient at letting us hear the sound of his sad, sad heart, the directionless elliptical clutter that defines The Age of Adz just sounds to me like he's manufacturing an idea of what a sad heart might sound like. What's worse, it sounds self-indulgent.
