702 music review

What are 702 playing The Age of Adz, by Sufjan Stevens for?

I cannot fathom it, they have a listener group my moms age... and me to be fair. But I dont listen to it for music reviews.

The album is Experimental/mental and an extreme challenge to those who are listening to it, it is not I repeat, not for a one time listen on a geriatric radio station. That is what Joss Stone is for.

The host of the show said "... is a bit too ambitious and he is using too many instruments."

What.
the.
fuck.

He reminds me of that King who told Mozart there were too many notes in some opera. Sure that was a movie, but the sentiment is there.

so is the idiocy.

I love the album, I listened once. Went "hmmmm not so sure buddy"
listened again and the tracks just started to grip me and hold on tight. It is a dischord that has not hit so hard since some old Jazz favourites that my aunt and uncle play.

It is a work of genius.

I of course understand some people not liking it, that is not the problem. The problem is the forum for debate was 702.
