Sorry, should have said for a newly released album and not for a re-recording of a nearly decade old album. My apologies lol.

 

What’s wrong with some of you? Some of you seem really bitter to say the least…

Album reviews don't seem to affect sales in anything like the same way as movies or games. I've never checked reviews of an album before buying, but always do for the others.

 

I'd say for Adele the main thing that will drive sales after the first few weeks are the singles that the general public hear. It's been a long long time since she's released something with the drive of Rolling in the Deep. Not to say her emotional ballads aren't very impressive, but a slight break from them wouldn't hurt her sales I think.

 

According to the reviews, there’s a song called OMG which is the RITD of 30.

 

I’ll probably compile a list of all the best things I’ve read from the reviews, because it really deserves some attention. One reviewer calling it AOTY and one of the best albums they’ve ever heard might just be a fluke, but when review after review is similarly positive, it seems Adele really might be onto something with 30.

 

It will almost definitely sell less than 21 and 25 due to the state of the market, but I’m sure what Adele wanted more than anything at this point in her career is to show evolution as an artist and it seems she’s done that. Really excited to hear the album now!

Lol you calling people bitter, your posts this week are the most bitter thing I've seen in ages online

by miles and miles and miles

 

I don't have much hope in Adele's album. For me, 21 is one of the best albums in history, cos songs came from the guts.

25 was a let down, I didn't love any single song, I liked them all but didn't love anything, no song was a 10/10 for me.. and so far 30 looks worst, heard 4 songs and I don't like any, zero connection, but of course have to hear the whole thing.

 

Have you seen some of the comments in here as a reaction to me merely mentioning the fact 30 got good reviews? Bitter bitter bitter.

21 is the album of hers I still revisit a lot. On 25 it's only Hello, When We Were Young and Love in the Dark. It's a 7.5/10 album overall, but nothing special so we'll see where 30 lands.

 

I voted 400k here, but it could be anything form 200 to 600k I think. Interesting times.

Also to everyone reading this thread and seeing some of those bitter comments, click on their profiles and look at their post history. They are unsurprisingly all Taylor Swift fans.

 

Now, I don’t know about you but it definitely seems Adele has made Swift fans terribly upset for some reason. Very strange and erratic behaviour to say the least.

The Taylor obsession continues - very strange behavior to say the least.

 

See how they deflect, people? Erratic and not to be trusted. Take everything they say with a pinch of salt. It seems this forum has been infested by Taylor fans who have an irrational hatred towards Adele. Be aware.

As I said before I’m not a Taylor fan (I’m sure you’ve checked out the Taylor forum multiple times on here - no posts from me, or on any Taylor discussions tbh).

 

I just find it scary that you are on such a one poster mission to believe that everyone is a Taylor fan on here that dares to celebrate her success, you continually try to pull her down and anything she is achieving, and want to try and show that anyone that may like Taylor is a hater of anything and everything - obsessive/weird behavior.

 

We get it, for some reason you hate her - move on and concentrate on your faves.

I don’t have any “faves”, but I’m not buying that you’re not a Taylor fan at all. Otherwise, you’d also be calling out the people who had an irrational response to me merely posting that 30 has been getting amazing reviews. You don’t think that’s odd?

 

And yet, you seem to have an obsession with calling me the hater.

 

This site has changed a lot since I first joined. You used to be able to have a much more mature discussion about stuff in here than other forums. Not anymore!

Hold on a minute, you're having this EPIC meltdown because someone simply pointed out that Red has a higher score on Metacritic? :huh:

No. You need to read the thread properly.

Leaving this thread now. Don’t see the point in talking to people who obviously have an agenda and gang up on me whenever I post something.

 

As for Adele 30, the reviews continue to roll in and some are calling it one of the best albums of all time and two reviews have compared it to Tapestry. So we are ALL in for a treat. Because I can guarantee that you will ALL be listening to it. Have a good day.

I can honestly say in the 14 years I’ve been a member of this forum the most I’ve spoken about Taylor is now.

 

You can have mature conversations here if you make a mature post rather than wild accusations.

 

Anyway back to Adele....

I sincerely hope BlackNBlue is intentionally trolling because the lack of self awareness is disturbing otherwise xx

 

(PS I like Adele more than Taylor in general, before I am also implicated in this grand Taylor stan anti-Adele conspiracy)

Apparently there's voice pops of her bairn on it.

 

Why do artists feel the need to do this shit.

BTW Adele's album is (currently) the 8th highest score on Metacritic of 2021 so far. Out of the 7 ahead of it, 6 are not re-recordings of decade old albums. x

 

Not that that isn't still really good, but it's certainly not the best reviews any album has had for years or whatever. There are even 2 other UK #1 albums ahead of it (Dave and Wolf Alice).

What score did Dave get out of curiosity? WAAITT is easily my fav album of 2021 and could genuinely be my fav album of all time, it's absolutely incredible imo.

Dave has a 92 (5th for 2021, Wolf Alice have a 91 in 7th place). Both very well deserved by the way, they're both among my favourite albums of the year too.

 

#1 for the year is still Ghetts' album from February with a 95, looks like he is probably not being toppled. I'm not as sold on that one personally from what I have heard from it but it's cool to see a UK rap album at the top spot even if I'd rather it be Dave.
