The Age of Adz (pronounced "The Age of Odds") is the sixth studio LP by American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Sufjan Stevens.Released on October 12, 2010, Adz was Stevens' first official studio album after 2005's Illinois launched him into the indie spotlight (though in the interim he had put out an album’s worth of Cut Songs from Illinois, five discs of Christmas music, an orchestral suite, a string quartet reimagining of an earlier LP, an hour-long EP, and various covers, so it's safe to say he wasn’t resting on his laurels).While many fans hoped Stevens' new album would be another installment in the so-called "Fifty States Project", following up both Illinois and 2003's Michigan, Adz came with no geographical concept and instead focused on, in Stevens' words, "my physical body, my feelings, touch, the nerves, anxiety, the chemistry of the brain and the spinal fluid" in the wake of a severe and unexplained illness which had caused him to cancel a tour the previous year.Even more surprisingly, Adz was a New Sound Album which replaced Stevens' signature banjo-led indie folk and Baroque Pop with dense, manic, and occasionally autotune-inflected electronica. While Stevens had experimented with synth-led music in the past—his second LP, Enjoy Your Rabbit, was an instrumental glitch album—he'd become best known and loved for what he once referred to as "strummy-strum acoustic guitar songs". The unexpected sonic shift startled fans and critics alike, and to this day, Adz remains one of his most divisive albums.In keeping with the album's more-personal-than-usual tone, Stevens' lyrics on Adz are also more confessional and less story-driven than his earlier work tended to be. Notably, the album includes Stevens' longest song to date, the 25-minute-plus "Impossible Soul", as well as his first-ever lyrical use of profanity—many times—in "I Want to Be Well".While writing the album, Stevens was deeply influenced by Louisiana-based outsider artist "Prophet" Royal Robertson, whose apocalyptic paintings fuse imagery from the Bible, sci-fi films, and Robertson's own schizophrenic visions. One of Robertson's pieces was adapted into the cover art for Adz, and the song "Get Real Get Right" is based on the artist's life and work.Tracklist: "Futile Devices" (2:11) "Too Much" (6:44) "Age of Adz" (8:00) "I Walked" (5:01) "Now That I'm Older" (4:56) "Get Real Get Right" (5:10) "Bad Communication" (2:24) "Vesuvius" (5:26) "All for Myself" (2:55) "I Want to Be Well" (6:27) "Impossible Soul" (25:35) note On the vinyl version, the last three-minute section of "Impossible Soul" is placed just after "I Want to Be Well" on side C, while the rest of the song makes up the entirety of side D. | |

Darker and Edgier: Even by Sufjan's usual standards, the lyrics on The Age of Adz deal a lot with difficult emotions and personal themes including death, disease, illness, anxiety, and suicide. This is also the first Sufjan release to feature profanity (and a lot of it, too, though it's confined to one track), and many listeners find the style much less pleasant and accessible than his other releases. | |

Cluster F-Bomb: "I Want to Be Well" ends with the refrain "I'm not fucking around" repeated over a dozen times. Doubles as a sort of Precision F-Strike, as this song is the only one on the album (and the first in his catalog up to that point) to make use of the F word. | |

| The Age of Adz (Music) / int_74149c93 | comment |
Epic Rocking: At 25:35, "Impossible Soul" is Sufjan's longest track to date, beating out "Djohariah" by a good 8+ minutes. It's so long, in fact, that the vinyl version has to break the song apart (with the last section moved to the beginning, on a separate side of the disc) in order for everything to fit. Most of the songs qualify to some extent. There are only three tracks on the album under 4:30, and "Age of Adz" is 8:00 on the dot. | |

| The Age of Adz (Music) / int_b24ce4b2 | comment |
Rearrange the Song: The vinyl release moves the last section of "Impossible Soul" to the beginning. Though done in the interest of space, this also gives the song a slightly more ambiguous and unsettling ending. "Futile Devices" was remixed by Sufjan's sometimes-producer Doveman (aka Thomas Bartlett) for use on the Call Me by Your Name soundtrack, where it appears alongside two film-exclusive Sufjan tracks. | |

Ambiguously Bi: An even more prevalent theme here than on most Sufjan releases. Some songs address men romantically ("Futile Devices", "All for Myself"), some address women ("Now That I'm Older", "Impossible Soul"), and some could go both ways ("I Walked", "Bad Communication", "Impossible Soul").

Lyrical Dissonance | |
| The Age of Adz (Music) / int_dbfd6b8 | comment |
Lyrical Dissonance: The Title Track culminates in a soaring, triumphant crescendo of horns and electronics, with the lyrics "I've lost the will to fight / I was not made for life." "I Want to Be Well" is an upbeat, uptempo song whose narrator suffers from an unspecified—and possibly deadly—illness. | |

Broken Record | |
| The Age of Adz (Music) / int_e085feeb | comment |
Broken Record: The ending section of "Too Much" ("There's too much riding on that") The end of "I Want to Be Well" (with repetitions of "I want to be well" and "I'm not fucking around" interspersed with one another) Parts of "Impossible Soul" ("Don't be distracted", "Boy, we can do much more together", etc.) | |

Dark Reprise | |
| The Age of Adz (Music) / int_f3fd818b | comment |
Dark Reprise: At the end of "Impossible Soul", the optimistic "Boy, we can do much more together!" is transformed into a defeated "Boy, we made such a mess together". | |
