-
After all those years that people remarked and possibly, tried to shut him out, Stevens has returned with what just might be the best music he has ever crafted.
-
The Age of Adz complements rather than distracts from the heartrending melodies and ambitious orchestration underneath.
-
Each pass cements that Stevens has done the impossible yet again: He's released another album that's both genre-defining and genre-defying.
-
The Age of Adz is not an unqualified success; occasionally it does feel like a little too much, and until the dust has settled it is difficult to say where it will sit in his discography as a whole.
-
As an expression of a restless artist trying to stretch his own limits, The Age Of Adz is simultaneously admirable and exhausting.
-
It's a semiconcept record, using work by the artist Royal Robertson as a springboard for music that evokes a visionary psyche.
-
With The Age Of Adz, Stevens may simply be trying too hard.
