1001 Albums Summary

This has been the most surprising album so far. When I saw today’s pick, I was disappointed. I thought yesterday’s album was boring, and I was dreading slogging through another. I knew of Adele and had heard a couple of her songs on the radio and in pop culture. I didn’t think I liked her, but I’ve been trying to approach each album with an open mind. The first song, Rolling in the Deep, came on. I already knew it from the radio, but it had never been a favorite. I assumed it would be the highlight of the album. The next song, Rumour Has It, seemed to confirm my suspicion that it was all downhill from there. I was very wrong. I started multitasking and mentally filed this as a “background music” album, until Turning Tables came on. A couple of minutes into it, I realized I was actually enjoying it. As the album went on, I liked each song more than the last. By the end, I had added several to my library. I decided to go back and listen again from the start. This time, even the songs I didn’t care for initially grew on me. By the end, I had added every single track to my library. Apparently, I like Adele, or at least this album.
