I don’t give a f@ck. This album feels like a cinematic experience where each song has a vivid sequence playing in my head as the music plays. The last 3 songs on the album are some of her best work to date and I’ve found myself in a loop over those 18-20 minutes. Her discography was really needing another good uptempo and “Oh My God” came in right on time. I however will say that Max Martin and Shellback deserve jail for “Can I Get It” because it did not serve your honor. Not at all and it actually feels like something Ryan Tedder would’ve cooked up while taking a power nap.

I’m still formulating my thoughts on the album as a whole. I haven’t had a ton of time to listen to it a lot yet between work and Christmas music and whatever. I haven’t heard the deluxe songs yet but of the regular album, Love is a Game I think is my favourite. I have a like/hate with Can I Get It. It’s catchy, yeah, but if it became a single, it would be a career killer. I can see it getting really obnoxious really fast. Plus what I mentioned before about how cheap the production sounds. I guess I can see why she might want to record something like it but she is so much better than that song. Keep it to the album pls.

Can I Get It isn't very good, but this is a great album otherwise. The first album of hers I've enjoyed as an album, vs a few highs. I'd say it's her best, certainly her most interesting.

I Drink Wine is still *that* song. Wow. Hit replay 4 times when I was making dinner tonight. Such a great song. On another note: HOW did Woman Like Me not get left on the cutting room floor? That is just….horrible. Beautiful voice, and I LOVE how she sings the word “complacency”, but I find myself laughing every time I listen because each line is gets worse than the last in the sense she Googled “words that rhyme with x” or had the lyrics produced by an AI.

"Woman Like Me" was one of the most trending tracks on Twitter the first week of the album release. It seems to be a favorite of fans who typically like R&B.

people were calling me crazy when I said Red (TV) would be stiff competition for Adele in the US... yesterday, "All Too Well" out streamed every single song on Adele's new album: honestly, I'm still expecting Adele to perform in the 850k-1.15m range. seeing as her streaming units will be capped at 200k at most, and digital sales are dead, I don't think there will be 1 million physical copies sold to push this over 1.2m. people just aren't buying albums like that anymore, and unlike 25, 30 was made available on streaming immediately upon release.I expect she will break the vinyl record, which should be impressive. she'll probably have that record for a long time. turns out, even I overestimated her. 30 fails to break RED (Taylor's Version) weekly vinyl sales record:

692k pure in 2021 might as well be the equivalent of 3.2m; it’s incredible. I’m quite shocked tho that she didn’t manage to get enough streams to pull at least 1m. And I can’t believe ADELE can’t even break 1m now, although she came close at 830k.

Incredible sales. People need to move on about the expectations for the first week sales. This will be selling quite well for the rest of the year and next. Good for her.

I'm sure it will be a long-term seller but I figured it wouldn't be so far behind the CD # (300k+) since I'd expect like most fans under 40 just to get the vinyl and not the CD obviously lol. Streaming was kind of light, but there was only 12 tracks, and like half were 6 minutes long, so in that context it's understandable.

I think this pretty much proves that we will never see another artist reach a million units sold in the United States again. Unless some miracle happens, I doubt it'll happen. It's the end of an era.

“Can I Get It” feels very P!nk/Max Martin work. I was honestly expecting to see her in the writing credits.

I think "Wild Wild West" was messy but in very funny way. Lol I like this new side of Adele.

It works perfectly for her life though with her son/living in the US. Plus it's only 2 days a week.
Likely going to be a record breaking stint in Vegas. I dread to think what the ticket prices are going to be like.

I hope she'll have a residency in London in the summer for her British & European fans.

I’ve applied to be a verified fan and picked some dates. Just wish I knew what they plan on charging. I’ll be so upset if I get a chance to buy tickets and they are priced out of this world. She can pretty much charge what she wants.

She can pretty much charge what she wants. Bruno Mars tickets were like over $300 when I tried to see him over the summer, and that was for like, mid-level seating.

She can pretty much charge what she wants. Same. I picked some dates in April. But I expect floor seats to be $600+ with nosebleeds going for $300. Ugh. I paid $180 for floor seats for the 25 tour.
