On Sufjan Stevens latest album The age of Adz he adds a little different style in the mix to what where all used to hearing from him. And that different style is the strong and heavy beats he incorporates with his original style. When you first listen to it you wouldn't think that it is Sufjan right away. but as you listen you will begin to hear all the horns and brass instruments that we are all familiar with his music. Never would i thought that Sufjan could come up with such an explosive album like he has here, because he has for so long produced relatively slow and beat-less music. All of his music prior to Age of Adz is wonderful but on this album he drastically changes up the tempo and goes for a whole new sound. Sufjan is always pushing the limits and never disappoints, he is an over achiever is the music industry and his name is legendary. To understand what i am talking about compare one of his older songs to one from the Age of Adz and you will see for yourself the innovated sound he comes up with on this album.
