"Water Under the Bridge" makes me feel like Patti in the "On My Own" video. I feel like strutting around in a full length sable coat on the Brooklyn Bridge crying about my insecurities in my relationship.

"I Miss You" is her most interesting song to date, great and detailed production work. Instant add on my playlist. The rest of the album ranges from cute to boring to me, with the vocals being the saving grace for some of the tracks. Much like 21. I Miss You gives me Forence + The Machine teas and I LOVE IT.

The adele domination has just started.....
US iTunes
#1. Hello #4. When We Were Young #7. Remedy #10. Water Under The Bridge #12. Send My Love (To Your New Lover) #15. All I Ask #16. Love In The Dark #21. Sweetest Devotion #23. I Miss You #29. Million Years Ago #38. River Lea
All the album tracks top 40, with 4 in the iTunes top 10. With her upcoming promo, I can see all the album tracks going top 20 and Adele having at least 5 songs in the top 10. Just madness, never seen anything like it!

I can see "When We Were Young" surpassing "Hello" if she performs in on SNL this weekend.
Edit: "Why Do You Love Me" reminds me of Ariel's material on HAIM's debut album and I'm loving it!

This is opening so big WW. I went to a store and bought it and there was her giant face at the entrance and a queue to get it. I cannot believe this
4M WW at least

So I bought the album from Target with the 3 bonus tracks. Just finished lunch listening to this masterpiece. Slayed by Mama Adele taking me to school, church and prepping me for my funeral because I'm slain by this album.
A Hello (the competition) your'e nothing she's everything (Adele) A Send my love. Errrrrrm, I like it. It reminds me of like 3 songs but i can't pinpointing. It can grow to an A+ for me. This screams single but some of the words are hard to understand. A+ I miss you this gives me phil collins meets pharrell meets something else. All great. WHEEEEEEEEEW. Serving botticelli sex symbol teas. She better serve sex and class at the same time. A+ when we were young amazing. A+ remedy WHEEEEEEEEW...Dis btch reading my mind. I can't deal. She betta TELL the truth. A water under the bridge she betta give us mid tempo teas. YASSS. This is SOME REAL TALK. I love how relatable this song is. B river lea. I'm not really here for this. I also don't like the blaming part either. Lowkey Childish. B+ love in the dark SHE PUNCHED hard with that first line. TELLLLLL HIMMMMM. This can be an A once the rest of the song grows on me. It feels redundant at first listen A+ million years ago Serving lyrics, you know what you can't listen to an adele song without emotional preparing to get a little verklempt. What is she doing to my spirit? LOW KEY why is this serving GILLIGAN's ISLAND theme song teas. She shouldn't have this kind of ease at my spirit. Be gentle with me Adele. A all i ask She betta reflect on some real stuff. A+ sweetest devotion giving me throwback teas. This is amazing. A+ can't let go SHE BETTA GO AWF...YASS MAMA Adele. B+ Lay me down BTCH I'm ready to repent for all my sins. She betta sang that gospel to the church. Gives me a another version of I'll be waiting (which is my favorite song from 21) A Why do you love me this gives me throwback. I'm digging it.
Overall: A to A+ I'll give it the rest of the year before I rank her 3 masterpieces against one another
Single selections: Hello Fall 2015 When we were young Winter 2016 I miss you/Sweetest devotion/send my love Spring 2016 Send my love/i miss you/sweetest devotion Summer 2016 Remedy Fall 2016 Any song except River lea but I'm pulling for Sweetest devotion (It's not the tea, I don't see it for ha) Winter 2017

More of a casual fan hereβ¦I gave the album a listen anyway as it is definitely an event album so I couldnβt just ignore it.
My favorites on the album are:
1. Send My Love (To Your New Lover) 2. I Miss You 3. Water Under The Bridge
Not really here for the other tracks. I was hoping for more than mainly ballads from her on this album. I wish I liked her ballads more than I do as I feel Iβd love this album for sure if I did. She certainly knows her fan base and what they want though. Her voice is amazing on this album, thatβs for sure.
I will most likely just buy the three songs I listed above and skip the rest for now...

Finished the album. Some thoughts...
As I started the first couple of tracks, I wanted to yell at everyone for saying it was "safe" and "totally AC" but as the album moved on, I started to agree. Not that it is bad by any means, but I too wanted some exploring done.
However, the vocals are all flawless. Epic. A+. The production is top notch. It is very well put together. Also, the least favorite on iTunes and by many here, "River Lea" is NOT my least favorite at all. I actually thought it was one of the best. lol
Send My Love is going to be MASSIVE. I would have loved to hear another Max Martin track for sure.
I think it was smart to play this album a bit safe. She is coming off one of the biggest albums of all time, why rock the boat? Hopefully her next album will be out in much sooner time frame and that will be the time to start the experimenting. There were still some really good upbeat stuff though. It's very fantastic.

The chorus of the second song reminds me of 2005 era Tori Amos.

Got my Target copy this morning! I've only listened through once so far. It's a great album, I just wish it wasn't so slow. I want more Rolling In The Deep, less Someone Like You (though she obviously does it so well). "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)", "Remedy", and "Sweetest Devotion" are my early favorites.

Ones I like:
I Miss You River Lea Hello Water Under the Bridge Love in the Dark Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
The others I'm meh on. When We Were Young just has such a jarring melody in the chorus.

Totally obsessed with Send My Love, Water under the bridge, WWWY and Love in the Dark.
Seems like Hello is not the best song on the album at all

I can't at iTunes shading "I Miss You" like that. Maybe it's too sexualized for casual fans? lol

1. Hello 3. When We Were Young 5. Remedy 6. Water Under the Bridge 7. Send My Love (To Your New Lover) 10. All I Ask 12. Love in the Dark 19 Sweetest Devotion 20. I Miss You 22. Million Years Ago 29. River Lea SCREAMING 6 tracks in the Top 10 of iTunes Soon to be 7, "Love In The Dark" #11 now. :'( Will she make it 8? I think she could with "Sweetest Devotion still climbing at a good pace and upcoming promotion. All the tracks from the album will be top 20 on iTunes soon, which is amazing. I hope 21 and 19 manage to go back to the top 10 as well.

"Love In The Dark" #10 on US iTunes now, making it 7 songs in the top 10.
"Sweetest Devotion" #18 and should go top 10 with there not being much between #18 and #10 with 3-4 songs falling down ahead of her.
