    For some reason, The Age of Adz is THE album I listen to when I fly. I don't listen to any other Sufjan music. I found the album randomly in 2010 and to this day its THE album I put on when I sit down on a plane, ready to calm down and fall asleep. I've always meant to listen to more of his catalogue and just... never have done that. But Age of Adz... I've listened to this album dozens, if not hundreds, of times. It's terrific. The opening/closing tracks are especially beautiful.
