Show Notes

On this day 10 years ago, Sufjan Stevens released *The Age of Adz*, the widely anticipated follow-up to his seminal 2005 work, *Illinois*. Was such a radical gearshift the right move to make in the shadow of a masterpiece? How did this album reshape the way people think about Sufjan Stevens?

Dillon and Trevor set out to answer all these questions and more on the third episode of preTENtious.
