Adele does not care about Taylor Swift’s Metacritic scores, she’s too busy drinking wine and breaking records.

 

Thanks.

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.

Wow 92 is an amazing score, even beating out the 90 of Psychodrama which I certainly did not expect! Definitely surprised to see Ghetts so high as well lol but I'm happy to see him at #1. Personally I found the album to be pretty good but nothing really incredible.

The Metacritic score is based on seven reviews btw, that's definitely looking good, but hardly a sign it's one of the best reviewed albums or whatever, after the actual release, we'll get a clearer picture x
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.

 

The next single is an absolute sirge of a track :')

I wish I knew if this was a good or bad thing

To be fair, none of us have heard the studio version yet so we can't say that with 100% certainty.

 

I'm definitely hoping it's an improvement though.

Snap!

 

Same with the Ghetts album but I did enjoy it on the one or two spins I gave it.

Adele’s just sang a live version of to be loved on Instagram. Absolutely sublime, im getting someone like you feels all over again.

There's a video of her singing it on youtube, I'm assuming this is what you're on about?

 

Not sure what you mean, the first reviews appeared on Tue

 

Must be ABBA

NME, The Guardian etc I think mostly they publish their reviews on Thursday, 1 day before release.

Odd that they didn’t include the preorder number like they were doing for Abba.

It's not odd. It's Sony's strategy.

How does not including preorders in an article about album expectations form part of a strategy?
