I definitely agree her first album feels very different from those that followed. Really only "Hometown Glory" and the bonus tracks feel like what I think of as Adele. Since they're all at the end, it feels like a natural segue to 21's sound.

I can't believe I stumbled on this ranking and witnesses these atrocious placements! 19 is her best album by far! So many nuanced notes and playful vocal delivery. Your bottom three are some of my top 3 of that album!

Out next at #12 is "That's It, I Quit, I'm Movin' On." This Sam Cooke cover was one of the three bonus tracks on deluxe editions of this album, and was a Top 30 hit on the Billboard Hot R&B Sides chart for Cooke when the song was released on Valentine's Day 1961, as well as a Top 40 hit on the all-genre Hot 100 chart. Adele's rendition gained some support in the form of a Top 5 rank from toomuchboy, but alas there was a deluge of bottom 5 rankings, including two last places from Caviar and tim which was a big factor in preventing this one from doing any better in the rankdown.

You say I'm stubborn and I never give in I think you're stubborn 'cept you're always softening You say I'm selfish, I agree with you on that I think you're giving I think way too much in fact I say we've only known each other one year You say, "Pff, I've known you longer, my dear." You like to be so close, I like to be alone I like to sit on chairs and you prefer the floor Walking with each other, think we'd never match at all, but we do

"My Same" misses out on the Top 10, bowing out at #11. This song turned out to be more polarizing, drawing a bit more Top 5 support including a #2 from someguy, but also picked up a number of bottom 5 rankings, including a last place from toomuchboy, who gets rid of their last place song on the heels of a Top 5. This song also, interestingly, had us all ranking it in every position except for #1 and #3!

Welcome sunrise with the morning glory I've changed my mind There is no simple I thought of me I want to see I want to feel my heartbeat so With the world that you feel Leave
I can feel the pressure pushing onto my heart And it's teasing me So scratch my itch and beat my drum So i can start to begin what's begun
Painting pictures

Kicking off the Top 10 is "Painting Pictures," the last of the three bonus tracks to leave us. This song managed to garner quite a bit more support than most of the songs we've seen exit thus far, picking up eleven Top 10 rankings, which include a sole Top 5 from wyckyd. On the flip side of that, there were six bottom 5 rankings, which include a bottom 2 from toomuchboy.

Hold my hand while you cut me down It'd only just begun but now it's over now And you're in the heat of moments with your heart playing up cold I'm between the middle watching hastiness unfold On my eyes you were smiling in the spotlight dancing with the night When I fell off your mind
I'm tired of trying Your teasing ain't enough Fed up of biding your time When I don't get nothing back And for what, and for what, and for what When I don't get nothing back

"Painting Pictures" is definitely one of my favorite songs off of this album, so I'm disappointed to see it leave us at #9. I'm joined in the Top 5 by Kanenrá:ke and samo🦕, but rankings were split down the middle, with eight bottom 5 rankings which include a head-scratching last place from Kris Kringle.

I know none of y'all are probably here, but it's high time to continue reveals! In fact, I'm gonna just get the rest of this album out of the way in the next hour and a half or so. Gather round if you're here!

Wait, do you see my heart on my sleeve? It's been there for days on end and It's been waiting for you to open up Yours too baby, come on now I'm trying to tell you just how I'd like to hear the words roll out of your mouth finally Say that it's always been me
That's made you feel a way you've never felt before And I'm all you need and that you never want more Then you'd say all of the right things without a clue But you'd save the best for last

At this point, I really don't have much commentary this album is painfully subpar overall in comparison to what came later from Adele, which the exception of a few songs. This song is an example of that. Adele's vocals aren't quite as engaging as they are in other songs on this album, and the production just plods along and repeats itself, causing the song to never go anywhere, lending to a dreadfully boring listening experience. Kanenrá:ke is very much in disagreement however, as he becomes the first participant to lose their #1 song.

This might be the worst thing I've ever heard from Adele tbh.
Sorry Jordy, but yeah.... this was a no from me.

Ugh I hate walking in here to read all the hate for this album. It’s her best!
This song in particular has so much fun vocal delivery that she never gave us in her follow up albums!
GRRR

Each and every time I turn around to leave I feel my heart begin to burst and bleed So desperately I try to link it with my head But instead I fall back to my knees As you tear your way right through me I forgive you once again Without me knowing

At least "Melt My Heart to Stone" was pretty much favored by us all, with all but two of us placing this in our Top 10! It also was a decisive victory for the #7 spot, finishing 30 spots ahead of "Best For Last."

Who wants to be right as rain It's better when something is wrong You get excitement in your bones And everything you do's a game When night comes and you're on your own You can say "I chose to be alone" Who wants to be right as rain It's harder when you're on top
'Cause when hard work don't pay off and I'm tired There ain't no room in my bed As far as I'm concerned So wipe that dirty smile off We won't be making up I've cried my heart out

These days when I see you You make it look like I'm see-through Do tell me why you waste our time When your heart ain't admitting you're not satisfied You know I know just how you feel I'm starting to find myself feeling that way too
When you grace me with your cold shoulder Whenever you look at me I wish I was her You shower me with words made of knives

Oh too bad, I love "Right As Rain". Definitely a much-needed uptempo moment on the album.

Daydreamer Sitting on the sea Soaking up the sun He is a real lover Of making up the past And feeling up his girl Like he's never felt a figure before
A jaw-dropper Looks good when he walks Is the subject of their talk He would be hard to chase But good to catch And he could change the world With his hands behind his back, oh
You can find him sittin' on your doorstep Waiting for a surprise And he will feel like he's been there for hours
