25

no

What I thought was many different blandly overproduced and homogenized musicians playing in the dance clubs of the 2010's was in fact mostly Adele, it would seem. I was surprised by how much I disliked something so polished

Her undoubted talent doesn't begin to make up for how dull everything she writes is. 2/10

No podcast episode

I've listened to too much Adele, and now hearing her voice just annoys me.

I know this is well executed for what it tries to be, but I can't stand this kind of whiny, bombastic pop that wants to be so heartfelt and emotional, but feels as deep as a puddle to me while sounding like the calculated chart success it logically had to become.

Music for those who miss having a spouse to beat.

this was... not fun. it felt repetitive and uninteresting. hollow and soulless. i'm sure other people can appreciate it but... not me. only interesting thing i found about it was that one of the songs was a tiktok meme recently.

Det her går ikke

Musikk for folk som ikke bryr sæ om musikk. Komposisjonan e så vanvittig kjedelig. Hør på pianoet på Hello.. e det mulig?!?! Adele har en vanvittig stemme. Synd noen menn i dress skal teame ho opp med Espen Lindan rundt i verden. Det høres ut som man har gått inn i suno og bedt den lage 10 ballada i moll.

Oh no. No. No. No. No. Great voice. Not for me.

Hello When We Were Young

I am happy for the millions of people who love this, an entire album of power ballads did not really work for me

Like every other human in the Anglophone world, I've heard Adele plenty of times, so I knew what I was getting into before listening to this album. I can acknowledge she's a good singer and I've even liked some of her songs. But this was a painfully dull listen. I'm almost sorry I disliked this as much as I did. I felt like I was chewing on white bread for 45 minutes. The soporific ballads aren't even the worst part, the Max Martin "pop" songs are just gruelling; it's rare for me to straight-up skip a song, but I needed to do that twice on this listen. Some of these tracks sound like background music on an autoplay ad when you're watching YouTube. She sold a zillion copies, though, so what do I know? Am I so out of touch? No, it's the boomer parents who are wrong.

(door creaking) Hello? Is that you u/Professional-Ice-978? It's me. I was wondering why this album sucks so much LOL (soft piano music) I tend to write these 1001 reviews as I'm listening to the album that the generator gifted me that morning and I'm (almost 400 albums in) starting to think that maybe I need to change that because what is tolerable for 2-3 songs (however painful) becomes a sort of audio torture (I'm hurting) by songs 7-9 and I really mean that (man!) my ears actually hurt right now- no not a theatrical metaphor my ears (both of them) HURT! So, this review will start off nice-ish (if slightly catty) and end up a flopping about/around starless shape - an unnamable thing recently released from the bile lined rectum of some Lovecraftian creature. OK, so maybe not so nice. Yes, she can sing and she won't let you forget that fact for what feels like 100 hours. I imagine few people on the 1001 list have a better voice than Adele and even fewer have released a more boring, disposable album than 25. An album that was recorded in 17 studios with 15 producers over a period of two years. You think about that, OK. Hello? No, seriously think about why it took 17 studios, 15 producers AND two years to get this fucker finished. HELLO ADELE! Please end my will to live just do it in song after song (11 total-collect them all!) that explores in the finest of detail how unique your life experience is and sing it loud enough to kill random sea life for hundreds of miles from each of the 17 studios needed to capture the complexities of being a wealthy 20 something girl that needs 15 producers just to say hello. 25 has 11 songs each one more tepid and pointless than the last one. Big and goopy lyrics about her big and goopy fucking life. Each song needing 1.3 studios and 1.2 producers to create what would become a pieced together beast of burden, Adele's monster she named "Twenty-Five" and set loose on the world AKA her stage. How does such a big powerful voice like the one Adele possesses carry so little of an emotional punch? Hello, Adele? Is that you? Hello? I was wondering if you could tell us about the latest cad who broke your heart HELLO (!!!) hello, how are you? Me? OMG hello! I'm fine! Only two songs to go! Yay! 25 sounds like it was created by AI (of course it wasn't) in its soul crushing uncanny valley perpetual state of mind-numbing perfection. It's idea of perfection anyways. Eleven songs so bloody formulaic that it's difficult to distinguish one from the other. How sad that millions of people bought this album in hopes of feeling something only to be left with nothing but a deep emptiness and a ringing in the ears provided by Adele's stunning and stunningly evil booming voice that put more dark thoughts in my head than Throbbing Gristle and Slayer combined ever did. Hello? OH, right! Fuck off then.

I have never understood the appeal of Adele and now that I have listened to a whole album by her, I understand it even less. She might be a talented singer, but I simply do not like her voice. This album felt like the saltines of music; utterly bland. It felt like the songs kept one upping each other to be my least favorite. The only track I kind of liked was the last song, but I would have liked it more with a different singer. Either way I won't listen to this again besides when the radio at work forces me to suffer through the singles. Favorite Track - Sweetest Devotion Least Favorite Track - All I Ask ⭐️

laaaaaaaangweilig

Adele is a great vocalist, however, being a great vocalist does not mean you make good music. This sounds like it's made to be played in retail stores. It lacks emotion and I can't find anything redeeming about this album. 2/10

So boring

This was a real slog for me. So depressing I couldn't get through more than a track or two before turning it off. A thoroughly miserable 48 minutes

I quite like “Rolling In The Deep” but this is unlistenable, albeit more listenable than the Zep and the other albums unfeasibly below 25 in the one stars. Tom.

Look, Adele's vocal ability is beyond question. She has one of the great voices of her generation. But the music it serves? I've never been able to connect with it. With all due respect, 25 felt like 21, but part II, the same core concept (heartbreak, reflection, moving on), just polished to a higher sheen. It's very common human emotions, sung by a magnificent voice, but I struggle to see the artistic evolution. I'm left with a recurring question, aside from being a supremely gifted vocalist, what makes this an Adele album? What is her artistic signature? If you took her voice off these tracks, what's to stop them being recorded by anyone else? (Nothing). All I Ask is the undeniable highlight. And it's telling that it takes a co-writer like Bruno Mars to inject that level of drama and structure. It feels like an outside vision finally matching her vocal power. What I don't hear in her work is rage. Or hunger. The sense of an artist with something to prove, pushing against expectations. Commit fully to a vision. If she don't have one, find a collaborator who can help you build it. Don't settle for this level of polished mediocrity. Because true greatness demands you give it everything you have. And that brings me to the Grammys. 25 won Album of the Year. Over Lemonade. You may not be a Beyoncé fan, but you cannot deny she took similar theme, infidelity and forgiveness and transform into something sonically new. She took a risk. Adele won with... the piano ballad album. Again. Isn't it wild she used to be compared to Amy Winehouse? Beyond the British passport and a vague jazz inflection, the comparison falls apart. Amy wrote from addiction, from a love so consuming it destroyed her. Her music is a scar. Adele writes from feelings that are sanitised. There's value in that relatability. But it's not the same artistic weight. It's not Back to Black. It's albums so meticulously safe they feel like they could be sung by anyone. We know, she'll keep winning Grammys for albums that sound magnificent in the moment and dissolve from cultural memory the next. But damn. What if she stopped playing it safe?

every song sound the same

Decent 1,5

- I know she's supposed to have a great voice, but it just sounds strained and melodramatic, most of the time. Shouting and vocal fry are what she uses for emotion, and I just don't feel it. When she sticks to just the melodic tone in her lower register, it's nice, but she's mostly shouting. She doesn't really have much range where she can keep the tone controlled. - Other than Hello, I find the songs boring and basic. The instrumentation is nothing much, the melodies aren't that interesting, and it's sterile and overproduced. - No thanks to all the songs being about her breakup, too. The lyrics are pretty embarrassing. - This really does nothing for me.

Heard some tracks. Expectations: Mid - Verdict: Dislike - Maybe not outright bad but definitely not my thing. I think 21 should be on this list but I cannot for the life of me see why this has been.

When this was released I ignored the hype despite "Hello" being constantly blasted from every speaker for what felt like an eternity. So today was my first time listening to the album in full. If there's this much navel-gazing and wallowing on 25, I hope I'm not around to hear 50. Seriously: Adele, you aren't even a third of the way through your life expectancy. You have so much to live for. Let go. Especially please detach yourself from the enablers that are making you sell this formulaic BS. If you, dear reader, are caught up in the unreachable past as much as Adele is on this album, you have my sympathies and please MOVE ON AND GET ON WITH LIFE.

I was up in my office listening as Marianne played this downstairs. It's difficult to put into words how I feel when Adele's music plays. I don't want to feel this way.

the other one was better.

Not the best collection of songs from Adele. Her other album, also on the list, is much more inspired. This feels less enticing than her earlier records. 6/10 [DROP]

In a nutshell: soulless. This was the prime opportunity for Adele to try something new with her strong soulful voice and her arrangements. But she chose the safe route, which is more commercially viable and BORING. You only need to hear one single from previous albums 19 and 21 to get an idea of what she is capable of. Sorry, babes. Overall: 2/10

If you ;like screeching women, this is for you. I don't.

white noise

Adele has a fantastic voice. Hello is a very soulful, booming ballad. Everything else is the most bland, radio filler shite that is not just repetitive, boring to listen to, repetitive, a waste of time, repetitive -- but also feels so fake that it's offensive. Also where the hell is the bass? Why is the piano so exceptionally thin and tinny? I just got good speakers!

No heart no soul. And I absolutely hate her guttural voice.

Setting: DCS Airport, 8:45 am. Cold, but sunny. I'm trying to give this an honest listen, but it's a rough go. I'm a bit shocked to hear this is closer to Imagine Dragons in production and songwriting. I was hoping for something a bit more soulful, but this has all the markings of a profit-driven drivel written to be played in supermarkets and animal rescue commercials. Occasionally, the production offers tiny surprises and hidden elements. But when every song repeats its anthemic chorus 6 times in a 3 minute span, the whole experience grows tiresome. It's just absolutely soulless.

desculpa adele esse aqui é mto ruim

No

Same stuff as her previous album on this list. Over emotional adult oriented pop music and these songs have been written many times before. Not my stuff.

never liked adele. obviously good production and vocal treatment, but too dour and slow for me.

The vocals were fantastic, then song 2 same vocals. Song 3 more of the same. Song 4 the same. The same. Same.

I listened to the whole album. I gave it a chance. I didn't like anything about it. Painfully boring and uninspiring.

Listening to this felt like getting a simultaneous root canal and appendicectomy without any anesthetic.

Shite

Caterwauling

Maybe a curse of her voice, but all the artistic wailing really makes everything sound the same

Why?

No va

This is laughably bad

Ok

Shyte

è un cazzo di meme sto album

Just awful

C'est d'la calice de marde, chus tanné man.

Is it called 25 because that's how many years it feels like to listen through this bloated ass album? They almost got me. I was pleasantly suprised by a couple of songs at the start of the album, but then the expected masturbatory ballad-shit started rolling in. I can see why your average moron would love this album, they probably only listened to 4 tracks anyway. Anyway I was not expecting much, and I was ultimately proven right. I'm not a contrarian, I just have better taste in music than most people. Don't get it twisted.

Few okay tracks but its all so earnest and dull.

The singing frog.

Det här albumet slumpades fram för mig även innan vi startade gruppen. Det är plågsamt tråkigt. Det krävdes en oerhörd viljestyrka för att ta sig igenom detta från början till slut, då. Jag lyssnar inte en gång till på detta. Ändlösa mello-ballader. "Här ska säljas. In med en hit-artist och ett gäng hit-låtskrivare." Det är möjligt att Adele haft ambitioner, men det hörs inte.

Nobody cares about that album. Even Adele fans.

Never listened to her. However, it seems like every time I walk through a mall I hear this type of music coming out of tween clothing store. I think that’s where this music belongs.

Disagree.

Absolutely nothing does it for me here. Great voice, but it does not make up for lousy arrangements and average lyrics. Personally found it boring

Astounded me when I looked today that Adele is nearly 40...wow! Clever usage of her ages over her career for the the album titles - I like that, wonder how high it'll go? 80? (The Comeback/covers)? No disputation of her voice, success, awards, sell out gigs, 2 years performing at Caesar Palace, Vegas tells you that she ain't no fluke. SO, I took the plunge today and briefly listened to this album, and sorry (not sorry) but it's just all too predictable, show bizzy, shouty in a poppy way, songs that you hear at a wedding and everyone seems to know it.... Word. By. Word. (except me, and I asks who this is and get looked at as if I'm an alien). Think she's this generation's Celine Dione. Had to listen to A Moon Shaped Pool for a cleanse. Maybe it's me? My age? Just grumpy? Sorry (not sorry).

This is not a good album. Instantly forgettable.

Absolute hot dog water. Tried to power through the first annoying radio song only to be followed by another radio song that I didn’t know was Adele’s. I like pop, I really do, but I cannot relate to or enjoy any of this wine mom garbage.

fuck no

Didn’t listen to it

It's okay to write a sparse track with powerful lyrics about something you feel passionate about. But 12 in a row? Naw dawg. Imma pass.

182/1089 - Damn, I really hate her voice. Sounds like a woman version of Eddie Vedder. Not as bad as Kendrick Lamar or Ian Curtis I guess but that's not exactly a high bar. The instrumental is boring and lifeless relying too much on long pads with no real rhythmic variation or humanization of the sampled percussion. I think it sounds good in DAW music to slightly vary the velocities of the drums in a lot of music (not to mention the beat). If you don't do that then it sounds like I'm listening to some baby Nintendo MIDI or youtuber FL-studio-slop. Non-list rec. Mockroot - Tigran Hamasyan (2015) Really cool modern jazz pianist with a very unique rhythmic language.

Everyone who I’ve ever said “I hate Adele’s voice” to thinks I’m just being a contrarian douche hater. As if “good vocals” are some objective truth. To my ears & my subjective taste, I can’t stand Adele. It’s nothing against the songwriting (which I find is a little bland at moments that is clearly bolstered by her voice). Was hoping to find something interesting this time around but when Water Under the Bridge plays I just can’t do it. This album was everywhere in 2015 & I don’t wanna go back. That said, at least enduring the whole album led to Sweetest Devotion, which I thought was kinda okay.

This coward didn’t call any of her albums “dude you’re getting” so automatic 1 star

Zeer oninteressante muziek.

No

I hate pop music -- this album did not help. I kind of wish "30" was on this list instead, as I've been wanting to listen to that one and even a few quick samples immediately demonstrate significantly more interesting and complex musical choices. "25" is loaded with the simplest chord changes imaginable, and easy, boring lyricism. There are a couple hits here, and Adele's voice is unmistakably fantastic, but this album is a perfect example of why I can never seem to get into pop: it's homogenous, it's risk-averse, and it's just plain uninteresting. Fave songs: - Sweetest Devotion - that's it

Adele has such a powerful voice, but all these songs just grate on me. Every song sounds like the last one. Boring. On this album it sounds like she is trying to chase something from the past. Sometimes the past is best left there. Time to move on and create something exciting and new. The subject matter of the songs are all around heartbreak. Suicide music. Give it a rest. Is it pretentious to just put her mug on the cover, is this expecting everyone will recognise her and not need her name or the albums. She is good, but overrated, and this album proves that.

Det här är plågsamt tråkigt. Det krävs en oerhörd viljestyrka för att ta sig igenom detta från början till slut. Ändlösa mello-ballader. "Här ska säljas. In med en hit-artist och ett gäng hit-låtskrivare." Det är möjligt att Adele haft ambitioner, men det hörs inte.

Worst so far.

I thought it was pretty boring

Adele is certainly a talented, powerful, and passionate singer. But that’s where it stops for me. The music and hooks are generally boring and forgettable to me. The soft pop with big choruses and electronic drums feels formulaic and tired. 2 or 3 songs had an interesting enough vocal, lyrical, or musical aspect to note, but otherwise the album sailed right past me.

Boring crappy lovesongs, blegh.

Another Adele album. 4 years in the making. Was it worth it. Well in the sense of 3 years without it, yes it was. In fact another 10 would not have gone amiss. Her voice is OK, but nothing special. I mean, she's no Christine MacVie (Perfect), Chrissie Hynde, or Gladys Knight. The River Lea was the only halfway decent track but doesn't make it much worthwhile. 1

M.e.h. she had lost any appeal I may have had 4 years before. Her singing style had become so last decade. the songs were up her own arse. Nothing to see here.

I’m not a fan of this music.

Woke bitch

One star is still too much.

Over-produced, over-perfect, over-written. Not one error on this album in the worst possible way - every possible human element has been air-brushed and facelifted, removing all possible flaws. I find that an odd choice for such a dour and downcast album, though this may be a snapshot of pop music at the time. Adele's performance isn't bad at all, though this does not fix the fundamental flaws of this album. Best Tracks: - Sweetest Devotion Worst Tracks: - Send My Love (To Your New Lover) - Water Under The Bridge - Million Years Ago Rating: 2/10

Jumpscare of Adele's entire fucking face blown up on the cover. At its most energetic, this record is soporific. At its most innovative, this record is predictable. At its most lyrically and compositionally challenging, this record is lowest-common-denominator. I hate this style of singing.

Never was a fun of Adele. As I see an overhyped pop singer with a minimum difference with other thousands of pop singers. Yes, she has a strong voice and individuality, but I feel literally nothing when I hear those songs with 1B+ plays . Not for me.

Not my cup of tea. Good voice tho

Way over played.

Surprisingly good. Not an album I’ve previously rated, always too much country, but once you get past the twang there are some really strong tracks. Will listen again.

One minute into Hello I was thinking "Hey, not too bad, I might like this after all". Unfortunatley that was the point the balladering, that often verges on caterwauling, kicked in and largely didn't let up for the next 47 minutes.

really boring how anyone can listen past hello without falling asleep is a wonder to me 3/10 Favourite: None Least Favourite: Remedy

Enduring this was great... suffering.

I just dont like Adele

might hit if you just went through a bad breakup

Way too over produced. She does have a great voice but, the lyrics she sings were crappy. I do not feel that she learned anything about herself by the end of this album. She kept making the same mistakes over and over again and then whining about it for forty-five minutes.

shit

Showcase for her power voice. Other interesting aspects of music take a back seat, sadly, so I'm pretty bored by mid-track-2 and it never picked up.

I think everyone is well aware of Adele. Whilst I’m personally not into the power ballads, she does have a nice voice and lyrics which go beyond the typical themes of most pop songs. The production is clean to a fault, largely resulting in a cold and soulless background. Surprised how many songs on here have been overplayed in the mainstream. Holy shit the start of water under the bridge sounds like corporate ad music - I thought I was getting a Spotify ad! 1.5/5

not gonna say much because i feel like i said it all for 21 and this is mostly more of the same. there are a few songs in here that are fine/a bit catchy but i attribute that mostly to the production decisions of Max Martin and Greg Kurstin. but at the end of the day (and i said this last time too) i kind of feel like Adele is good music for people who don't listen to a lot of music lol

truly dreadful stuff

Headbangingly dull.

The Venn diagram of people who like this album and people who have owned a "Live, Laugh, Love" poster is practically a circle. I tolerated the first Adele album but, however good her voice is, this really started to get on my tits.

nice voice.

Utterly boring, I don't really mind if she can sing.

hated every second of it

Her voice is pretty and fairly dynamic, but the music doesn't do anything for me. It all feels calculated and produced for mass consumption. There's nothing here that's essential or "must" be heard.

Really couldn’t get along with it. Songs felt either forced or almost cringe. A difficult third album.

I'm not sure why this is included in the list. Is it because it was so massively popular? I don't think popularity is an indicator of quality. To me, this is bland and over-produced and lacking emotionally.

Not my style

This is what I expected it to sound like. Great singer, strong production, and songs I couldn’t care less about. 1.5 stars.

In one ear, out the other. My brain does not register this as music.

Incredible voice but one of the most soulless and uninspired series of recordings ever made. Just terribly empty in production, writing, and arranging

Adele is só boring....zzzzzzzzzzzzzźzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Not for me DNF

Another reviewer said Adele is obviously talented but makes such uninteresting and uninspired music, and I have to agree. It’s a well-crafted album that doesn’t make you feel the emotions it’s trying to make you feel. No original point of view, very sterile album.

One trick pony x

To cheese sens as for me. Not my type of expression in the voice. Maybe i will try to listen to it again

No

Genuinamente aburrido y plano. Entiendo que tiene un gran rango vocal y voz, pero lo que hace con ella me parece muy dull

I’m not a big fan of belters, all of my favourite vocalists are masters of phrasing or timbre or have unique or even bad voices but a ‘fuck it we roll’ attitude. Adele’s sort of singing is technically fine, very good, but I find it really difficult to get into. I think part of that is that, especially on this album, she’s not given very much to work with dynamically. Because it’s been decided that Adele’s biggest selling point is the power of her vocals, all of the choruses have to showcase those vocals. And so it becomes repetitive, soft verse builds towards powerhouse chorus, bonus points if she jumps the octave, and once you notice that trend, it makes the listening experience painfully boring. It also made really really anxious for a reason I can’t quite explain. I straight up hated the way this made me feel. I think I have to go on the record and say this is my least favourite album that I’ve had to listen to so far. Not only did it bore me, but it also overwhelmed me to the point that I genuinely think I almost had a panic attack

Oh good, more Adele. Just when I was in need of a good yawn.

No, just a million times no. No, no, no, no, no.

Talented musician but not my cup of tea

OK, the last Adele album I got on this thing surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. On the other hand: this album fucking honks. This selling a billion copies is all the proof you need that your average human being is boring beyond belief and has absolutely abysmal taste

Ugh

so glad this album generator is exposing me to all these obscure overlooked artists like goddamn Adele.

Kinda soulless for how strong the vocal talent is. Boring listen.

The Grammy's are Racist. I'll be honest I was content after Hello, every song beyond is just a test of my patience. The only other track I can even remark on is Million Years Ago, it has a "fantasy tavern" sound that was kind of neat. Not enough to return to though.

I was dreading this moment, I knew it would come eventually. I gave it a listen out if respect but never again. If anyone put this on I would leave and for that strong feeling alone it gets a star.

Tried to listen objectively but very difficult, what did i actually not like about this? Great voice, great production, boring music!

"Adele! Do your thing!" "Where's me bloody orchestra?" "In the faacking studio, innit?" "Oh, I dunno, mate. Quite honestly, I'm just not feeling it." "Right! Bring in the boyfriend!" "Wha? Simon?" "Hi babes. Listen it's not you, it's me..."

No thank you.

Just not my shit.

She can definitely hold a note without coming up for air, but musically this album is the equivalent of C-grade middle school project. 1.0/5.0: Embarrassing

Overrated

Please see review for 21. Nothing has changed. So boring. Could be same album. 5th 1 out of 5 on trot now. Help! 0.9/5 3/4/24

Don’t even need to listen

DOG SHIT

This could work for me if Adele was a better lyricist, but it mostly misses me. Clumsy wording shouted over soft piano is annoying to me.

No me gusta

not my cup of tea

It’s not horrible, it’s just not good. I remember liking her prior album but never listened to this one until today. The singles didn’t interest me enough to listen to the album and that was a good call on my part.

Woah this is was truly wild and truly a journey and truly a lot. I had no idea what Adele sounded like, it's so big and so dramatic. Obviously she has a great voice, but this is so far off from anything that would remotely be considered enjoyable for me. It was rough to get through.

Really just not a big Adele fan

Undoubtedly great voice and talent but the songs are just not my thing. Boring!

Completely overrated in my opinion. Sure, she has a good voice, but so do a lot of people. I just find it all a bit mannered.

Overhyped mom music. Not my scene

Binned half way through 1st song. Not for me at all.

Good voice with nothing to say. Overproduced, uninspired, dull. Cash grab.

no thanks

Absolutely not my music

👎

nope! her voice is like nails on a chalkboard! just bc you CAN hit all the high notes doesn’t mean you should!

Obviously, amazing voice. But the songs don't make me feel anything and feel too... general and boring.

SHit

Boring

I fell asleep halfway through. Favorite track: Water Under the Bridge (favorite is stretching it.)

Not a fan

Feels more contrived after she blew up. “Here I am, Adele, making an Adele album.” I appreciate the rare maturity of “Send Your Love” as far as pop music goes. I might like some of this with more raw production.

Barf.

I live in little old Blighty. i don't have to listen to this album to know what this album sounds like, it was inescapable at the time and i'm pretty certain it won't have gotten any better.

21 was a lovely album of well constructed songs with a lot of soul influences. Nice suprise. This is a bunch over the top songs where Adele is straining her voice. I really did not enjoy this. Shame as 21 was a nice suprise

This is worse than Hitler.

Dull as ditch water to me. Musical beige

Mum-core. Water Under the Bridge is alright then back to boring piano.

Hoewel deze vrouw een wereldstem heeft, lukt het d’r inhoudelijk weinig neer te zetten. Het tweede nummer Send My Love (wist niet dat die van haar was) gaat al te lang door terwijl die netjes binnen de vier minuten valt. Verder vooral krokodillentranentrekkers en huisvrouwen muziek

Oh well, at least the portrait on the cover is quite nice. I think this is probably the worst album that the 1001 has sent my way.

poštujem, ali nije za mene.

I didnt listen to this shit, why is this even on the list

Skip

Aw c'mon. *21* was not for me yet I could still respect folks who loved it. But it's way harder for me to do with this other record. What's the next step? Céline f*cking Dion? Removed from the list in 2018, apparently. Next, please. Number of albums left to review: 742 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 126 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 65 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): 68 (including this one)

Not a bloody chance I'm putting myself through this again

Ryan sucks a bunch. Does she have a good voice? I don't know. It's kind of annoying. I did not need to hear this before I died.

Música de fondo para supermercados.

celine dion but bri'ish

Not my jam

Two Adele records in one month are far too many for me. She has the same affliction that singers with good pipes have, the compulsion to show off the fact that they can sing by bellowing and yelling too much. This has infected the likes of Whitney Houston, Celine Dionne, Maria Carey and others. I just couldn’t bear to listen to this so I tuned out and turned this off after a few songs

10/10 babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy love me some adele

Pants

One of the most grating voices in popular music. Karen-core music that is barely tolerable.

Not my cup of tea.

Her voice is great but not for me.

Thought her previous album was the classic one? That one contained at least one great song (Rolling in the Deep)...

Vocal acrobatics, but not in a good way. What a waste.
