4.3 million views of that video of the live performance of "When We Were Young" in like 12 hours. Jesus. She is not letting go. She wants weaves, wigs, hair and scalps. And follicles.

She's staying true to what she knows. Mid tempo, stadium anthems of heartache and longing. Nothing ground-breaking, nothing spectacular. For me, "When We Were Young" is a better song than "Hello", overall. Theme, execution and production.

That last line of the last chorus of "When We Were Young" feels like that epiphany almost all late 20 somethings feel that it is time to move on from our current situations. "I'm so mad, I'm getting old, I'm getting reckless." It's that mid-mid-life crisis that I've faced and so many of my friends. It made it us all realize that we are too old for the childish sh!t. Grow the f#ck up. My body isn't capable of the all-day bingers starting with wake and bake and brunch. The emotional support of a friend that has loved somebody for so long but we all realized from the jump it was sh!t, the epiphany that our greatest love will always remain just that. The reverse can also apply as well. I'm broken after listening to "When We Were Young" for the umpteenth time right now.

Somebody pick me up off the floor please. I'm a literal puddle right now.

LOL. Some people at work mistook me for a college intern. Listened to a couple of seconds from the clips. Loving the different texture in her voice. Can't wait for Friday.

I can only do it maybe 2 days out of the week because otherwise I feel like I've been run over by Mack Truck. The moral of the story is don't start young

Why are they calling it a sold out concert? Tickets were not for sale.
Sorry for nitpicking but the imprecision drives me crazy.

I think press got the album today - seen a couple people I follow Twitter talking about it. (Meanwhile, I convinced my brother, who works Friday morning at Target, to get me a copy even though I'd already preordered, because Target preorders aren't supposed to arrive until Tuesday at earliest and I'll be gone for Thanksgiving. lol)

All I found was the full "All I Ask." This album will ruin my soul.

Last night I listened to the 60 minute clip and sheesh once again goosebumps and instant emotional connection with lyrics and delivery. I haven't listened to anything else, but as someone who just turned 40 in August and made the decision to reflect on life at that point, I'm sure WWWY will have a bigger impact than Hello on me (and that one made me cry like a baby already). It seems this'll be huge. It's like we are witnessing that moment of consolidation of a diva ... Like the Whitney, Daydream or Let's Talk About Love albums. And on top of that, a pop phenomenon that is hard to replicate when critical and commercial success go hand in hand. More like MJ or Madonna or JJ

I'll just wait until Friday morning, spend my $12.99 at Target and spend the rest of the workday tuning the world TF out.

Send my love to your new lover is amazing. The whole album is great but that is the song I needed from her.

The album is amazing. I REALLY hope that "All I Ask", "River Lea", & "Water Under The Bridge" become future singles! "When We Were Young", "I Miss You", & "Sweetest Devotion" are also all so good!
I get the feeling that "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" may be the third single as Adele said in her Beats1 interview today that it was initially going to be the first single. Thank goodness for "Hello".

Most albums leak within a few days of the release (if they haven't before then), so there will be no rush-releasing going on here. Especially as to not mess with the first-week sales, as someone mentioned.

I usually wait before really judging an album, since some are instant and fade from my mind quickly and some seem poor but end up revealing a lot more depth over time. So it takes a bit of time to really size up an album. Especially one with this kind of hype.
That said, first listen done and I am not just scalped, I am decapitated.

It's so exciting that albums aren't leaking 1-3 weeks before anymore lol! The Friday release dates are really so helpful with leaks- most albums are only leaking 2 days before and sometimes just the day before release!

The album is great. I like every song on it. In general, the production is a lot more hard-hitting than I was expecting, which is a nice change of pace for her. She's also at her very best vocally.
I was going to list the songs that I think should be released as singles, but she's such an anomaly right now that radio would be willing to play any one of them.

I have the stream (doing a review for a website), it's very good, very polished, very her.
