thierryrreiht 20,163 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 at the end of the day we all have different opinions about that album to me, she played it safe: same themes, same moods, same polishing, some sugar and spices and it gave us a big cake. in French there's something called "la recette du succès". which is exactly what she did. I wished more from her. Eh. On to the next one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually expected 2M sales US debut but it seems she can pass it easily. Let's wait for the second week sales. Well it's cause of the success of 21,the success of Hello,the good promotion and the good album Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, it's the same kind of vibe as the others, similar topics (nostalgia, first loves, breakups). She even said that her songs about being a mother were "too boring" for her. It's like she switched because she was afraid of what people would say. That would have been real, and more authentic. To me when I heard 25 I just went, "well it's just another Adele album" and I mean, Adele is good, but there's nothing amazing, new, or fresh about this album. It just sells because it's her. Weird comparison and please, guys, don't sigh: on ARTPOP, one of my "mehhh" songs is Dope. (maybe because I wish it was IWBWY, but that's another topic). However, I can't say that it doesn't feel authentic, raw, and heartbreaking. Her emotion, the imperfections in this song makes it so special. It's so not polished that it makes it special. On 25, they all have the same finish (except, again, a few that are more interesting [max martin, as much as I don't like you, thank you for making Adele sound different and fresh on that one song]) bref, it won't be on my X-mas list. You know, 21 wasn't pop revolution too. It was just pop. Pop songs selling well. So 25 not being fresh doesn't make it worse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to be already big to have such success.But if people didn't like the lead single it wouldn't sell as much. There are so many artists that slayed the world with an album and their next album flopped bad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, i didnt say anything about how bad the album is why are you being so defensive? Read my initiaL post and i actually said i love the album.

Wolf Boy 2,987 Posted November 22, 2015 Share Posted November 22, 2015 21 wasn't popular because it was groundbreaking, no one ever says that about 21. it's just a good album, that's it, good songs, relatable lyrics, people find adeles music honest and real and thats what sells her stuff. nothing more nothing less. of course success from 21 leaks over to the next release, that happens with EVERY artist that has such a massive world wide record breaking release, it's inevitable. but hello and 25 are both getting a good reception as far as music critics and GP reactions go, so to say that it's only successful because of 21 is a bit deluded. i think some gaga fans are just butt hurt tbh.
