![]() ![]() Two albums, one busted up marriage, and an amazingly frank and unironic display of heartbreak and angst from both country music legends. With that, here’s a quick look at 12 standout divorce albums and what makes each uniquely bitter, more spiteful, and more forlorn than the next. ![]() ![]() Musical giants had to tackle that divide, sometimes poetically and sometimes coarsely. Legally joined lovers have come together and separated more times that you may think during pop’s 20th and 21st centuries. With this, however, we must be clear: Adele’s 30 follows a very delicate (and often harsh) path, that of the “divorce album” and its rich history. “I’ll be taking flowers to the cemetery of my heart / For all of my lovers in the present and in the dark,” she sings at the start of the record, creating a sense of ennui and reckoning around the sensitive topic of separating a love and a marriage. Before you let the needle hit the vinyl on Adele’s 30 this afternoon you already know the drama that went into each emotion and deeply felt vocal-that although this new album is all about her and her journey to get to this age, that 30 concentrates on divorce, her divorce, and all the tumult and growth that went with it.
