Adele - 30 (2021)

Reason for Listening:
I generally like her songs enough to give this latest release a listen.
I was going to listen to this album closer to it's release, but the first track immediately sounded heavy and I wasn't in the mood for it. I then thought about listening to it on 20211205, but decided to listen to holiday music instead.

Released 20211119.
12 songs. 58:20. 30 (2021)
12+3 songs. 58:20+11:46. 30 (Target)/(Japan) (2021)

Notes:
--20211230--
First listen.
--20220101--
Second listen.
Move "Oh My God" from a "1" to a "2".
This track is totally channeling the 60s ("Love Is A Game")

2: "Cry Your Heart Out"; "Oh My God"; "Can I Get It"; "To Be Loved";
1: "Easy on Me"; "I Drink Wine"; "All Night Parking" (Interlude) (with Erroll Garner); "Love Is A Game";
0: "Strangers By Nature"; "My Little Love"; "Woman Like Me"; "Hold On";

Summary:
This album has a variety of styles, but I didn't find it particularly interesting. In particular, I only gave the lead single, "Easy On Me", a relative rating of "1" instead of a "2".

Overall Rating: 4.0/5
Favorite Song: "Oh My God"

#1 on the Billboard 200 (Week of 20210108).
Last Week: 1 | Peak: 1 | Weeks on Chart: 6
