There is a consensus that these are the best tracks on the album, along with Easy on Me & To Be Loved.

The rest I'd classify as filler, sadly.


Still a higher killer to filler ratio than your posts w00t.gif

I liked Adele’s last album 25 but this one doesn’t interest me. Easy on me sounds like a lot of her other stuff and having heard clips from iTunes of the new album, it’s not really clicking with me at all so it will be the first album of hers which I’m not buying.

You're entitled to your opinion etc, but I'd suggest listening to some the songs in full as opposed to clips. Some of the songs are 5-6 minutes long and clips don't do them justice. Songs like "Hold On" and "Love Is A Game" have really nice build ups and "To Be Loved" is just stunning - in particular the ending.

He hates Adele, so I doubt he'd be open to the idea of giving the songs the time of day.

I'm not an Adele fan but I do make it a point to listen to her albums before passing my opinion. I do like her some of her songs though (most notably Hometown Glory, Turning Tables and Set fire to the rain) but don't own any albums.

I've heard 30 a few times: IMHO, it's an "Adele" album - it'll keep the Adele fans happy. So, all in all, the album will do well, sell bucketloads and keep the public and label happy. We could criticise that "Easy on me" is as samey as all her other songs, but to her defence, there isn't anything like that on radio now....so again, she's differentiated herself!

She's kind of like this period's Celine Dion (I'm not comparing them), in that, there isn't any competition for them (white chic w the powerhouse vocals).

I don’t hate Adele. I’ve actually got her first three albums and like some of her music but I do think she’s completely overhyped. There is just as good music if not better from a lot of other artists who don’t sell half as well. I also don’t like the sound of the style of the new album, it’s just not for me!

Adele’s US Billboard predictions have come out and they are 800-850k. Seeing as 25 opened with 3.5 million in first week sales, this is looking at around 1/4 of the number in the US.

In comparison, we know that Adele is likely to be on way over 200k here seeing as it’s already at 167k with some streaming info missing, 4 days of sales to go and some kind of boost from the ITV Special to take into account. So her sales here are actually fairing a less sharp decline than overseas. Looking like it will be a closer to a 1/3 of 25’s opening sales here.

ABBA had multiple formats though. I've voted 200,000 - 250,000

Won't be far off
