Hey y'all! Just a reminder that 19 is due in three weeks, 21 in four weeks, and 25 in five weeks! If you have a list, don't worry--I have it! For those that don't, there's still plenty of time to send if you'd like! Also--I would prioritize 19, as I will be allowing up to the end of that album's reveals to get lists in for 21, and the same goes for 25. 19 due Monday, May 321 due Monday, May 1025 due Monday, May 17

taylor hasn't given us any update on this one in quite awhile so I am assuming it will be pushed back again... and I definitely intend to submit lists once we hear about new deadlines!

Yeah, I was intending on updating this right as my WiFi crapped out at home, but I can report that the deadline is indeed being adjusted again! Also, I will be focusing solely on 19, and will be spacing the albums out, so as to keep myself and everyone else from being overwhelmed. This will (hopefully) be the final extension of the deadline!!! Those of you who haven’t already submitted lists for 19 now have five weeks from tonight to do so! Due: Sunday, June 13

LMAO what an absolute mess this rollout has been. Adele deserves much better I don't anticipate receiving too many more lists, but for anyone who was interested in sending a list but just wanted to know what was going on beforehand (my apologies for this messy rollout; life was crazy outside of Pulse), I'll be giving one final extension of TWO WEEKS for a FINAL deadline of Monday, August 16!Lists Received:1. someguy2. Caviar3. Trilogy4. Kanenrá:ke5. taylor6. dgarcia33777. fearlessarrow8. schnetzka9. wyckyd10. samo🦕11. @jadenlefranks Due: Monday, August 16

I haven't done the best at reminders this week, but here's a reminder that for anyone who was still wanting to send a list, y'all have FIVE DAYS remaining to do so! I managed to receive another three lists, bringing the total up to a respectable 14 participants. Be warned that I'll be going on ahead once the deadline passes, regardless of how many more lists I receive! Lists Received:1. someguy 2. Caviar 3. Trilogy 4.

However, I'll accept submissions a day or two past the deadline--although, there's only one other person I know of who's working on a listMake that two! I had already started working on this months ago but never came back around to it. I'll have it finished by today for sure.

So little to say but so much time, Despite my empty mouth the words are in my mind. Please wear the face, the one where you smile, Because you lighten up my heart when I start to cry.
Forgive me first love, but I'm tired. I need to get away to feel again. Try to understand why, don't get so close to change my mind. Please wipe that look out of your eyes, it's bribing me to doubt myself;

Kicking things off is "First Love," which finishes as the least-polarizing song, racking up six last place rankings and finishing 30 points behind the #14 song. I absolutely love the lyrics to this song, but think the production not only cheapens the entire song but is just a terrible choice as well. I mean...it literally sounds like a lullaby, lmao. With a much better production, I likely would've placed this much higher on my list.

Sometimes the hole you left hurts my heart So bad it cuts through the deepest parts of me And fills up my mouth with the words that cry How I'm still trying to stay inside
Hearts break and hands wait To make us grow fonder Then our eyes cry and souls sigh

"Now and Then" beats out "First Love" by thirty points to escape last place. I definitely think this song deserved a bit better. This album--now that I'm about to hit the age of 21 soon--really hits home in a way that it didn't when Adele was just making it big, and this song is definitely one of the harder hitting ones. The production is calming and really captures the mood of the song imo. I can see though how it might not be everyone's favorite, as it is one you definitely have to be sad in order to wanna listen to, lol.

After loving 21 and 25, I was initially excited to finally have a reason to check out 19 because I'd been procrastinating on it, but I have to say I was surprisingly underwhelmed. This album isn't even remotely comparable to the two that followed it. Glad to see "First Love" out because that was one of several Adele songs that I just found... not good at all, lol. "Now and Then" was mediocre, too.

"Now and Then" was mediocre, too. Yeah, it's definitely a stark, night-and-day difference that one has to get used to, and is also why I expect a MUCH higher participation rate for those two albums, lol. I already know of a number of people who had said they weren't interested in this one but would do 21 and 25. I will say I like this album (and I just said a lot of it has been hitting in recent years), but of course not nearly as much as the two that followed.

Sometimes sitting in the dark Wishing you were here Turns me crazy But it's you who makes me lose my head
And every time I'm meant to be acting sensible You drift into my head And turn me into a crumbling fool
Tell me to run and I'll race If you want me to stop I'll freeze And if you want me gone, I'll leave Just hold me closer, baby

Rounding out the bottom 3 is "Crazy for You," which is one of the more underwhelming songs on the record. I really don't have much to say on it honestly, aside from giving high praise to Adele's great vocal delivery.

Ok great start, my bottom 3 are out, not in the same order but whatever I'll take it!
And those 3 are the songs that don't work for me, everything else is good though an obvious step down from her following album.
