I know this was probably done when "25" came out but now after there has been more time to digest the music has your opinion changed? Or stayed the same? Discuss.

I personally admit i was kinda influenced by all those records Adele broke and kinda tried to force myself to like it. Because so many people buy it it must be amazing, right? But after some time i have realized i can not do it. It is not something i feel i need to come back to. It just does not click. "1989" is one of my least faves from Taylor but i still put it on like once a week and can thoroughly enjoy it.

What say you?

25

I'd rather listen to 1989.

I prefer 1989 but picked 'Both are good' because i like both!

1989

25

Both are good albums.. completely different sounds, concepts and artists.. the only comparable aspect is the stellar sales.

1989.

25 is trash and no one amount of broken records and sales will make me like more than 2-3 songs from it. Glad for Adele tho

1989. 25 is boring and no one discusses the music on it like, wake tf up

Both are good but 1989 is pop perfection.

25 is Adele at her best but also at her lowest tbh

25, obviously

Y'all have been bopping to 1989 (the singles at least) for over a year now so don't write it off straight away

25 no question.

atrl rarely discusses music in general, so that's an odd statement.

25

receipts don't lie

25.

1989 by lightyears

There's nothing more overrated and boring than 25

1989

This is hard. Id say they are equal but Adele has more highs than Taylor but overall 1989 is a more nuanced pop record and its hard to do with a Pop album to convey a solid theme whilst still being highly commercial. (Carly accomplished that with EMOTION but she's not here so.. )


Welcome To New York vs Hello
Blank Space vs Send My Love
Style vs I Miss You
Out of the Woods vs When We Were Young
All You Had to Do Was Stay vs Remedy
Shake It Off vs Water Under the Bridge
I Wish You Would vs River Lea
Bad Blood vs Love In the Dark
Wildest Dreams vs Million Years Ago
How You Get The Girl vs All I Ask
This Love vs Sweetest Devotion
I Know Places vs Can't Let Go
Clean vs Lay Me Down

the 14th track off 25 is Adele's worst song. So Ill give an extra point to Taylor since I didn't include her bonus tracks.

With that said, Adele wins by a hair.
