The chances of 25 not winning are slimming in my opinion, even next to Lemonade. I also think it should win.

Should: 25.
Will: Lemonade. The Beyoncé hype is just too big and Adele has won this already while Beyoncé was snubbed for her much more deserving self-titled album.

Should: I'd be ok with either Lemonade or 25. Both are overrated and nowhere near as good their previous albums, but I'd them anyday over the dull and lifeless Views and Purpose. Haven't listened to Sturgill's album yet.
Will: I think Lemonade will win.

Should: 25 is my personal favorite, so that one.
Will: Honestly? I can see it going to either 25, Lemonade, or Sturgill. I went with Lemonade.

I think Adele will be overshadowed this Grammys.
Yonce for the win, it had bigger impact overall.

More critically acclaimed, but Adele's sales, hype and ongoing longevity sales-wise and singles-wise tip the scale massively in terms of overall impact. I want Adele to win and think she will. But can see Sturgill pulling a Beck. |

Adele is going to sweep once again especially when you consider how they fucked her over this year for the AIA fiasco.

Should? Lemonade not so much for the fact that it really was a great body of work, but for the fact that she's yet to win this award before, despite several previous nominations. Having said that...
Will: 25. I think they'll honor Beyonce in the Big 4 with Record of the Year for "Formation." I'd love to see Bey walk away with AOTY, but I think she deserved it more for BEYONCÉ than Lemonade. The fact that Adele followed up the gargantuan 21 with another album that went Diamond within a year, spawned more hits, and broke what felt like every conceivable record in the history books will culminate in a win for her here, I feel. And it'll be one hell of a deserving one.
I can see it going either way. If the Grammys choose this year of all years to make a "statement" (a la Beck or Herbie Hancock winning Album of the Year), it'll be unforgivable. The other 3 do not deserve the win, and shouldn't take it, either.

If Adele wins, how are the Grammy's any different from the BBMA or the AMAs?

Sturgill should win but I'll just be happy if anybody other than Beyonce wins. I can't stand her music these days, I find it to be extremely boring.

I said it was more critically acclaimed, re-read my post. Was it, though? Lemonade was far more critically acclaimed than 25. 92 on Metacritic compared to 75 for 25. Lemonade should get it in my opinion. AOTY for 21 was absolutely deserved, but not for 25. |

Should: Beyonce made a modern day masterpiece. It's equal parts bold, in your face, vulgar, intimate, angry, humorous and heart breaking. It's a pro-black, female manifesto dealing with infidelity in one of the most fascinating power couples of our time. And it's her most musically expansive work to date, with a bit of every genre thrown in.
Which of course means...
Will: Adele, because she recorded another album of pretty ballads.

Now that I've heard all the albums, here are my rankings:
1) A Sailor's Guide to Earth
2) Lemonade
3) 25
4) Views
5) Purpose
My opinion on who should and win remains the same (see my previous post). I'll also be happy if Lemonade won.

Should win: Lemonade
Will win: A Sailor's Guide To Earth
I'm sure Adele will get plenty of love in other categories, but I feel like Beyoncé and Sturgill's albums are deeper, more sonically interesting records. Lemonade is the most compelling, culturally relevant nominee. But I could totally see the old white men of NARAS choose Sailor's Guide instead.
