I've listened in full twice. I see why Hello was released as the first single. The album reminds me a lot of 21 in the since that the first song is the most powerful song, theres a few slow ballad moments, and a few upbeat surprises. I am very impressed with the new album. 

I love I Miss You, When We Were Young, Remedy, Water Under the Bridge, River Lea, All I Ask and Sweetest Devotion. Remedy reminds me of Turning Tables, and I love the pop influence on Water. I Miss You sounds like a F+tM track, production wise. Love In the Dark is surprisingly amazing. River Lea draws me to comparisons of Rumor Has It. Lastly, Sweetest Devotion is the perfect closer. Such a happy track. 

Waiting for the bonus tracks - I am going into it not expecting much, since they are Target exclusive bonus tracks. Make sure you all purchase the album tomorrow!

Tbc the weakest song is Send My Love (To Your New Lover), i can't really seem to get into that one.

And million years ago is kinda dragging at the end.

The critics are already starting to tear this album apart. So many of them talk about how the album is again sad like 21, and even some believe she's still talking about the same ex. Although we know that not to be true. I don't know. This album doesn't feel that sad to me in the end, at least no where near the same way 21 does. There's a sense of acceptance and bittersweetness to this album where 21 just seemed bitter and lonely. Adele seems more sure of herself on 25 even if some of the songs are still dealing with the idea of heartbreak. In a way I almost feel like the heartbreak is about herself or her past or the things she never got but always wanted or was too afraid to go after. The heartbreak seems more ethereal on this one and less tangibly about a specific person.

I think I might like 25 more than 21 o_O

I feel 25 is has more diversity. There's also a lot of strong singles on the album :

WWWY, Send My Love, Water Under the Bridge, Million Years Ago.

***A performance of WWWY at the Grammy would be incredible, I wouldn't be surprised if this would be another number 1 song for her :)

Wow, I really dig 25! I still need to bond with it some more, but I already enjoy it more than her previous albums.

My top 5 so far...

1. Hello
2. Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
3. When We Were Young
4. Remedy
5. Water Under the Bridge

So i was listening the 25 again and River Lea sounded so familiar.... The chord progression during the 1st and 2nd verses of the song.... Fweaky on Miley's newest album!!! It sounds so similar!!!

OMG!!!!!!!!!!! YOU'RE RIGHT!

I knew "River Lea" sounded familiar, and I somehow got "Fweaky" stuck in my head, but I never put 2 and 2 together until now!

Great album! Impressed, I don't know if it matches up to 21 though.

My top 5(excluding Hello):

I Miss You 

Sweetest Devotion

River Lea (Fweaky teas)

Water Under The Bridge

When We Were Young

My only problem is I feel I've heard some of these melodies somewhere before.. but they're still all good songs :nick:
