She looks like a floating head in the album cover That is the exact issue I have. It's a great shot and she looks beautiful but she is a floating head. She looks exactly like those things you see at sporting events where they put their favorite players head on a stick and hold it in the stands.

If this was the cover for any other artist....people would be bitching! LOL If you see the album covers consecutively, she finally opened her eyes after all of the bullsh!t. I'm perched for the special. The David Letterman special gave me chills but this one is going to give me hypothermia. With the lack of Rick Rubin and the addition of so many hit makers like Sam Dixon, Max Martin, and The Smeezingtons I can't wait for it. Her rested vocals chords are a gift to the music scene right now. Elle Henderson gave us just a hint with Ryan Tedder and "Ghost". Her banter during the interview is unparalleled amongst regular artists. That cockney accent and unapologetic attitude is such a breath of fresh air. Who else would say, "A mommy album was boring so I had to scrap it and start anew."

If this was the cover for any other artist....people would be bitching! LOL It's true, but most other artists use their face on the cover for no other reason other than...to have their face on the cover. Personally, I tend to hate album covers that always have just the artists' face. Where's the creativity? It's just a glamour shot. An ego boost. An image that tells music buyers "this is an album by me, in case you couldn't read my name that's also here." At least with Adele, it goes with the theme that has covered her other two albums. It fits in line with what we may as well call the Adele trilogy and there's a story to be told, hopefully in the songs as well as with the imagery. Plus, Adele's thing has always been straight forward and to the point. With her cover, as simple and basic as it is, at least it has a point.

So far, I'm underwhelmed with the new single, at least the credits look promising: 1. β Helloβ β Adele Adkins & Greg Kurstin 2. β Send My Love (To Your New Lover)β β Adele Adkins, Max Martin & Karl Johan Schuster (Shellback) 3. β I Miss Youβ β Adele Adkins & Paul Epworth 4. β When We Were Youngβ β Adele Adkins & Tobias Jesso Jr. 5. β Remedyβ β Adele Adkins & Ryan Tedder 6. β Water Under the Bridgeβ β Adele Adkins & Greg Kurstin 7. β River Leaβ β Adele Adkins & Brian Burton (Danger Mouse) 8. β Love in the Darkβ β Adele Adkins & Samuel Dixon 9. β Million Years Agoβ β Adele Adkins & Greg Kurstin 10. β All I Askβ β Adele Adkins, Bruno Mars, Philip Lawrence & Christopher βBrodyβ Brown (The Smeezingtons) 11. β Sweetest Devotionβ β Adele Adkins & Paul Epworth Read more: xIf I had to guess off that, I'd say Send My Love (To Your New Lover) will be a hot uptempo and the 2nd single, and Sweetest Devotion will be the SLY of the album and probably the third single.

The song has really begun to resonate strongly with me and I finally saw the video. My only question is: who did Tristan Wilds, coming off a hiatus from...a 90210 re-boot...have to fuck to get such a plum acting gig??

My only question is: who did Tristan Wilds, coming off a hiatus from...a 90210 re-boot...have to f**k to get such a plum acting gig? Director says he was familiar with him, discussed the role over Skype, and then pitched him to a receptive Adele. Let's not forget he's also a Grammy-nominated musician. He also has the right combination of "recognizable but not too famous" that you'd want for this sort of video.

I mean she is going to debut with the sales of their cumulative total I'm not here for the Carly shade though because that's a grade A quality album.

Terrible lyrics, and it sounds like a "Someone Like You" knock-off. I knew it. This album will receive MUCH worse reviews than 21, mark my words. I knew it from how long they were taking, to the never-ending list of super-producers. I knew it when "Alive", which features the most generic and uninspiring melody/lyrics ever, was released and Adele had a co-write on it. She was shook from 21 and lost her spark, and has desperately tried to recreate 21. Mark my words, this is going to do a lot worse than most are expecting. Her Born This Way is coming. What did I tell y'all? Terrible lyrics? Check. Will clearly receive worse reviews than Rolling int he Deep and Someone Like You? Check. Overblown and sounds like they're desperately trying to recreate the last album? Check. This is her "I Just Can't Stop Loving You". I respect your opinion but couldn't disagree more. The song is a hit and I've seen so many more positive than negative reviews. She's matured since her last album so let's give it a chance!

Yeah, I really don't like the album cover. Not only the photo, but I wish her name and 25 were on it.
