i don't know. barring any vast shifts in her sound, I think we all know what Adele sounds like. That would be true for any artist that isn't making any kind of sonic shift in their work. I find that when most music reviewers start listing off the sounds involved they either slip into a tired list of the same…

How can she have a career separating from the President while having the First Kid. If he leaked it to the media there's only so much she can recover from. That is reproductive coercion.

Media is force feeding her as this amazing talent. When she really just has a great set of pipes put to mediocre use.

BREAKING NEWS: Not everyone talks about things like you do. And thank god for that, because the world would be one long snooze.

holy balls. that's colorful language. that's having a strong opinion. that's not a negative attack. that's humour which is completely lost on a dunderhead like you. if you can't differentiate between hyperbole and having a bit of a fun when you're describing your dislike for something, then stay off the internet.…

that's actually a really good response. I guess to your question I would say that, at least in part, there was some level of selflessness in Olivia's decision to deny Fitz his agency, even though she shouldn't have and denying agency in general is a bad move to make all around. Her move was to save the Presidency and…

i can understand that with TV shows as some shows have to do some ridiculous levels of world building first, but not so much with music.

do you really need the reviewer to tell you what instruments are being played and how they are played? i mean, really, we all have ears. that' a waste of my time. i read reviews to get a critical analysis of the content.

one man's cynicism is another man's educated opinion.

agreed. I think that's a pretty good layout of her career. i can't see anything from this album having last appeal or even karaoke appeal like those awesome tracks.

why do you see it as a negative attack? I'm discussing my opinion. and I LITERALLY have said that people who have positive takes on the album have had fair points. Including the comment LITERALLY above yours. But you want to be one of those forum decorum smackdowners or something who don't seem to think that people…

I agree. And this conversation was shameful. I'm sorry for my part in it and having maligned the good discussion happening here. I apologize to Nina as well.

that's totally true and i even forgot about his suicide attempt. i would love to see a season of Fitz alone and dealing with these issues. i feel like maybe they foreshadowed them with Olivia yelling about how Fitz can't be alone?

i think she wants to be respected as a human being.

yes it was. american provincialism about vaginas and all.

but she consults on it and it's in her production house.

there really could be a whole interesting storyline of a president in decline while sinking alone into his own despair and eventually being replaced by Susan or Mellie in an election.

apologies Gwen! you're right.
