    what a waste of wood

    I feel this. I can't believe I went so long without hearing "Heirloom"

    Gonna listen to Adz on my way home from work today. Maybe something will finally click.

    happy you got into it

    Arnika is probably my favorite Sufjan song

    It's so good. It almost feels like the music was improvised at times. It just has a really beautifully unpolished sound to it.

    Also, Adz is my least favorite Sufjan album from Michigan onward, but I've recently come to hold "I Want to Be Well" in really high regard. It's probably a top 5 Sufjan song for me. It's really resonated with me during my recent struggles with depression/chronic exhaustion.

    yeah, the guitar parts are p unique in Sufjan's context I think - disjointed

    I love ADZ from top to bottom, but the two songs (if you can call them that, pieces feels more appropriate for some reason) that send it to a whole other level are the more understated ones: Now That I'm Older and All for Myself

    Sufjan is a perfect companion for times of hardship/struggle/sadness

    hang in there, everything is going to be amazing

    So true. His music has meant so much to me especially in times of trials. Thanks man!

    Same for me. I've been struggling with a chronic health problem for the past 6 months to the point that it's really affecting me mentally and physically. This song very accurately represents what that feels like.

    The climax of Get Real Get Right is the greatest moment in music

    Genuinely resonated with me like no other review ever has. I was like, "fuck, I gotta listen to this album right now"; therefore your words pushed me to check out one of the most beautiful albums I've ever heard!

    So for Christmas I got Age of Adz (first thing I've ever even heard by Sufjan) and I am completely blown away. This album is a straight up masterpiece. Where to go from here?

    Fwiw, nothing else I've heard by him reaches the brilliant insanity of this record. But everything else is wonderful in a different way.

    Carrie and Lowell is one of my favorite albums ever. Very different, though

    Go to.... hmm, Illinoise or All Delighted People next. And then uhhh, Carrie and Lowell I guess? Haha, he's had a ridiculously diverse career

    It must be crazy to hear Adz first.

    Hi. I just made a playlist on Spotify with songs similar to Sufjan. Not the automatic generated similiar, but SIMILAR, similar.

    I've been listening to Carrie & Lowell a lot this week. It's still a devastatingly fantastic album.
