25

The vocal arrangements on this album are probably the best of all-time. I think this close to a perfect album.

Can't deny the talent, but it bores me.

Waar ik in 2015 werkte stond de radio dagelijks aan (afgestemd op Slam meen ik) en als Adele een nieuw album uitbrengt is dat dé manier om een hekel te krijgen aan Adele. Ik heb actieve herinneringen aan de dagen dat "Hello" minimaal 8 keer op een werkdag voorbij kwam. Maargoed. Dit is muziek die ik nooit aan zet, maar er is weinig mis mee. Een keertje zo'n album luisteren is een makkie en het heeft zeker goede kanten. Ze kan prima zingen, er zijn geen hoorbare autotune achtige toestanden, etc. Gewoon een melancholische mevrouw die met vlagen graag hard zingt. Echt zo'n stofzuigalbum. M'n grootste kritiek zou zijn dat het wel wat veel van hetzelfde is. Weinig afwisseling. 3.7 afgerond naar 4 sterren. (Deze 4 sterren ga ik later gebruiken om mezelf te verdedigen wanneer ik Amy Winehouse een 1 of 2 ga geven)

Solid disposable pop. Which is not intended as a slight that , but rather a cautionary comment warning about overstating its lasting power.

Wow I am going to hate myself for doing this. I usually am NOT a pop fan. I find it generic and shallow. But I am rating this one 5/5 stars. Is it because I haven't gotten a 5 star album yet and I really wanted one? Possibly. Is it because I am familiar with Adele and already know her sound? Possibly. Is it because this album was impeccable, with so much feeling and insane vocals? Possibly. Adele, I don't know what you did, but that was an amazing album.

Beautifully made

Hon sjunger bra men det är ju inte särskilt spännande.

Holy this album is so good. And to think I almost didn’t listen to it. Almost had me singing/dancing along. 9.5/10

Da e vel greit, men ikkje nåke for meg

Man I forgot how good this album is. She's definitely the best vocalist of the past decade or so. This album is pretty sad though. A lot of love and loss. But dang she can belt a note like nobody's business.

This album has some great songs, I don’t understand the hate! Million Years Ago is awesome, and it was my first time hearing it

she's amazing, beautiful album

3.5/5

Adele's vocal talents are undeniable, and this is a well-polished and smoothly produced album. A bit too middle of the road for my liking, though I respect the talent.

Nice voice, but nothing special with the songwriting

its pretty cool songs repetitive though

Album Notes: - great highlights with some middling tracks - production is very average and safe - vocals and melodies carry - When We Were Young and All I Ask are EASILY the best tracks here I love the timeless melodies they have Best Tracks: When We Were Young, All I Ask Worst Tracks: Water Under The Bridge, Hello

Great Album! Her voice is amazing every time i hear it. I don’t love every song thus, the 4 stars.

This was my first Adele album and wow was it powerful. Maybe it’s just where I’m at in life right now but it was hard emotionally to get through some of the tracks. This one I could definitely see myself listen to again, but only if I wanted to sob.

Esta todo muy lindo con adele pero realmente es monotono, incluso se repite el delivery y el flow de adele sobre algunas canciones que no tienen conexión alguna 4/10. Solo lo salvan los singles y su gran voz.

-didn’t write a BL- AL: Adele is such a well known figure. And it’s no surprise, she’s got an amazing voice, so powerful and yet so fragile and never looses a hint of emotionality throughout any of it. However it just doesn’t click with me, I find that David Byrne said it best when he said “The better the singer’s voice, the harder it is to believe what they’re saying”. While Adele generally does hit home a lot better than the other pop stars out there I still find it hard connecting with her music. I suppose me and the mentality a 25 year old woman has are radically different from one another. So maybe I’ll change my mind at some point. As of right now however i had to say this album was OK, nothing more nothing less FT: “when we were young”, “remedy”, “a million years ago” 3/5

Heard before

Excellent album. Now that some time has passed, I can appreciate "Hello" again. When the album first came out, that song definitely reached a point of oversaturation. (Do you remember when it was the #1 song and some pop stations didn't know what to do with a sad, dramatic song so on weekends at night they'd play these horrible EDM remixes of it? Man, that used to drive me crazy haha) But it's a powerful song and a great opener. "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)" is one of my favorite Adele songs. Such a great hook. Damn, "Water Under the Bridge" is another powerhouse song. And "River Lea" is another jam in the same vein. There are a handful of songs on this album that... well, I don't want to call them filler because how could a song with stunning vocals and immaculate production be called filler? But there are a few like "Remedy" and "Love in the Dark" that are beautiful in the moment but quickly melt away once they're over. Adele's such a good singer though that she could sing the dictionary. That's the thing about her, right? And there are also some good album cuts too. I really liked the dramatic and sexy "I Miss You" and the triumphant closer "Sweetest Devotion."

I think Adele will go down as one of the greatest singer/songwriters of all time. Her voice is always on point and so many recordings of her both live and in-studio come across as perfect to me. I'll always remember spending a few months rebuilding parts of my mom's house due to a flood (I think it was Hurricane Irene in 2011) and hammering away at sheetrock with my brother and uncle, quietly doing our tasks while the radio was playing. Adele comes on (I don't remember the song) and like a band of percussions in perfect sync, the hammering stopped. We just listened, took a break, and then got right back to it. It was so funny to us after we realized that we all did it without even saying anything to eachother and it was also such a sign of her brilliance- it will stop you in your tracks! great album flow- "Hello" is classic Adele- a heart ripping ballad with an earth-shattering powerful chorus Track 2, "Send my Love to your new Lover" is this incredibly infectious rhythmic bop that makes you feel like you are going for a run, pumping to the quarter notes and mentally working through something heavy- like a breakup. I listened to this on Friday and now on Monday morning this song is still stuck in my head. I learned recently of an ingenious idea that a guitar teacher who I look up to had been working on- where he was trying to improve his guitar phrasing and making his melodies more lyrical and more like a human voice, with small tasteful articulations. He had struggled with them for a long time and I shared this because my whole time as a musician I've always felt like I needed to add more little nuances and flourishes in my music and that I would too often write a melody where the interesting facet was the note intervals and their relationship with the harmony, and not enough of the micro elements like articulations that you would find in an Adele vocal part. His idea was to learn through the Adele discography and learn her vocal parts on guitar, including all of her little nuances exactly how she sings them. I don't necessarily have the free time to do this compared to a full time guitar teacher but I've been keeping that in my back pocket for a while- to go through some of her hits and hopefully ingrain some of her melodic beauty into my guitarring. It's a brilliant idea and I know it broke open his guitar playing and improvisation. I think this album is a 4. The hits are amazing but it's not as truly timeless as an Adele Greatest Hits would be.

Just a great album. Sadder in theme and quite personal in delivery. Adele kills the vocals and the high production carries throughout. Top songwriting with emotion coming out. This is a benchmark for pop musicians in writing ballads.

Although not as diverse and versatile as her "21" album, it's again very impressive what Adele delivers on this album. Seemingly every second song has been a radio hit and while one has to admit that she obviously has sort of a formula, I can't argue or knock it down because the formula is gold and works very well

Never got into Adele. Yes she has a great voice, but I genuinely don’t believe she has soul. Watching her do carpool karaoke with (never very funny or relevant) James Corden proves this to me. She’s a pop star with an above average voice and some solid songs, but I wouldn’t put her material up there with the all time great singers.

There is no denying Adele’s voice, but this is not really my style of music. I find it a little overwrought.

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.

AJ: I mean, she’s amazing. Imagine being able to take all your experiences and hurt and write them down and shout them out and sound so fucking good? Can’t afford to be sad all the time, but I mean, she’s amazing. Cat: What a powerhouse. She actually moves me to tears, just the raw emotion and tone of her voice, never mind the lyrics being great - paints a picture. Songs are so well written and produced. She’s incredible. Music is so beautiful. Can’t listen to her all the time because I’ll just be drained! Hot damn, Adele.

Great vocals hiding mediocre songs. The 21st century Great British curse.

Adele has a beautiful voice, but this album’s songs were just average pop ballads. She could sing a grocery list and it would sound good.

There are a few too many skips here for my usual 4 star requirements, especially with how much I dislike "Hello"... but god damn, when it hits, it absolutely HITS. It is less consistent than 21 but honestly I think it may have higher highs, and thats saying something.

A lot of strong singles on display, and they do form a good album. No quite the level of hype she often gets in my opinion, but good nonetheless.

i don't like pop, boring, i'm sorry [it's not 1, only just because of her voice, duh]

It’s good, anyone who says this album doesn’t deserve to be on the list is an idiot.It was the best selling album of 2015.Adele’s voice like always is beautiful but I’m not a huge fan of the electronic element and the slow pace.Hello is still amazing though.

Hyvä albumi.. Harmittaa kompressio tässä instrumentit ei paljoa loista.. Geometriasta tuttu n-kulmainen särmiöverkko... semmoselta kuullostaa.. boksi... ei annata lyödä läpi kun kuullostaa vaan sellaiselta kuutiolta.. Sonicseista musiikkiin sanon sen että ihan hyviä ideoita ja ilmaisua..

Bill

Not my thing. I think it’s because this is the sound of pop that I was surrounded with growing up, and as such doesn’t appeal to me. Also, she has an album named 21 on the list and one named 25??

Idk man feelar 21 e tillräckligt Adele för 1001, denhä har en okej hit (Hello) och en otroligt störande hit (Send my Love) och resten av a side är mediokert. Side B är bra och mysig pop musik och drar upp dehä till en svag trea.

Great singer. Hard to listen to a whole album at one time.

Barf.

Hello is thunderous. Send My Love is great. The front half is a completely air tight pop sound scape. The back half is more ballady but this is a really good album!

Pretty solid. Had not heard much from her

Such a passionate and soulful voice

So much drama and emotion. Incredible voice. Fantastic songs. Adele is a treasure. She could sing the phone book and I would listen.

Probably the best voice of 21st century pop? She gets an extra star for writing her own material instead of having a 10 man songwriting team or algorithm do the work. Too many songs with a bare piano arrangement, I started to get bored as a result.

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.

Adele gets me harder than a Millwall supporting woodpecker. A common bird with a gob like a skip. Marry me you filthy scum.

Songs for heartbroken girls

Not really my thing, well produced and an amazing voice though

I'm not sure what I expected here. But given Adele's talent and all the adulation she gets, I don't know... maybe something less boring? She has a lovely voice, but production is bland and most of these songs are pretty forgettable. Low 3. Fave Songs: Love in the Dark, Remedy, Water Under the Bridge

It's Adele. It's.... fine.

If I allowed myself to feel or pretended to do so on every commute looking out a rainy window on public transit, I’d probably be super into Adele. Great musicality and voice three cheers

My esteem for Adele has only grown over the years, but weirdly I remember this being a better album. Hello is a classic, and I really like Send My Love (To Your New Lover). The rest of the album is kind of easy to dismiss, for me. I guess I prefer 21! I need to get around to listening to 30. Maybe after I finish this list in 6 months

I always walk away from these Adele albums saying she has a great voice and the music is solid, but it’s music that doesn’t move me a lot. There’s always that last step she doesn’t take.

1st listen. This could have been called "I'm Sad, But Listen to What I Can Do With My Voice." It gets boring. "Send My Love" and "Sweetest Devotion" save it from being a 1.

I enjoyed this record a good bit. She’s got such a great voice and really great phrasing that really heightens the pop song chords. Does drag a bit towards the middle but has some absolute earworms.

I never really listened to Adele at all, and I tried to go into this album with really fair expectations. I have to say... this album was full of songs that sounded EXACTLY like an album full of Adele songs to sound. And that's okay - she has a good voice, the songs sound meaningful, etc. But there isn't enough there for me to rate it more than average. Ultimately, Adele sings a ballade everytime.

Pretty solid album, really took me back to walking in a department store in 2015.

Adele is an extremely talented singer, she's beautiful, and seems to be quite funny and charming in interviews as well. So yeah, overall, I'd say I like her well enough. But I never quite want to listen to her music. This album, for example: it's a fine pop album, but it seems like the sort of thing that would be playing in my mom's car stereo. It often sounds like radio fluff, or like well-trodden territory. To be fair, I don't believe this album to be one of her best. Even the singles here are sort of boring, which is not a problem that her previous album 21 ever had. I just don't know if this is the album of hers that should've made it to this list. I've always really like "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)", though. Fun song.

Good album much better than expected

Like I've left the radio on to a station I don't listen to. Or a doctor's waiting room. Completely inoffensive and fine to listen to, my daughter had blood tests this morning so it was nice to have something like this instead of subjecting her to Napalm Death again. It's all good obviously, she's ridiculously successful for a reason. Surprised that I don't know a single one of these songs, would assume I'd have heard at least one of them everywhere but nope. And clearly I'll never listen to this again.

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

Definitely mom music, but some of the last couple songs, Million Years Ago and All I Ask, with just her voice and an instrument really blew me a way. I wish the whole album was that personal, but instead they mostly went the mid-2010's pop production style, and it really drags it down.

Good highs, but not as good as the others

Not as good as 21. But OK.

Nice songs, and she has a nice voice. However.....she sings the exact same on every single song and her voice inflections wears thin pretty quickly. "River Lea" was the best song. The rest all sort of melded together. I couldn't tell where one song ended and the next had begun.

4.5

Not my thing. Good production, good voice. But not my thing.

Her voice is amazing. The production is amazing. But...it just feels like something is missing? The risk-taking thing kind of just sounds like people parroting music critics, but I guess that could explain how I feel overall. Favorite track: Send My Love (To Your New Lover)

It's fucking Adele. What do you expect? Beautiful melodies and piano. All I ask for in an album from her.

boring?

Something tells me she may have gone through a break-up.

This one's full of some really great break-up and a few wedding songs. Makes me wish I had bridesmaids and a guy who really dicked me over. This came up on my list back in late October '22 when I was on my honeymoon in London. So I was listening to it then, which for some reason made it feel different. Being in the artist's country of origin when it's not your own.

Solid pop album.

Adele is at her best when she is belting out big vocals. While there are a couple songs that do this, the majority feel shadowed by overarching instruments. I think all I Ask might be one of my favourite songs from her. Real rating 3.5/5

Adele is generally not my cup of tea but you have to admit, she is great at making the type of music she makes. My problem with this is that I can tolerate maybe 2 well-placed ballads on an album, otherwise I get bored. Got a soft spot for All I Ask though.

Adele simply has a great voice, and she communicates her songs so well that it is difficult to be critical. Objectively, her style and music are not for everyone nor does it have to be, but she does make such a strong case for herself and her sound to be its own brand. A brand that while not every listener will consume, a brand that every listener can respect as being the best of its kind. Her voice is semi-raspy without any cost to its projection of depth, her technical efforts can be heard as though she is one wrong breath from messing up, the listener can hear Adele do the work of singing with effort. This effort translates to something meaningful, something to respect, even if Adele is not for the listener. So why after all that praise, does the rating fall short of 5 stars? Reasons are fairly simple, in that this album is not a prerequisite to death (objectively none are, but that's not the point) and while there is so much to love about Adele, there is no reason to feel that one is missing out by not having heard this album. Four stars is just as prestigious for this reviewer in that a listener may not need to have heard this, but they should be glad that they did.

This is worse than Hitler.

This is a perfectly fine album, but I don't think it really deserves a "you NEED to listen to this" designation. It's not really significant. 21 is worthy of that, I think -- this is just the weaker follow-up to a modern classic. Whatever though, it's still a nice listen. Favorite track: Water Under the Bridge

Soul-infused pop showcases Adele's supreme vocal ability. Musically isn't super interesting as the focus is on her singing. Standouts are bookends the powerful piano ballad "Hello" and the uplifting "Sweet Devotion."

good for a pop album not sure if there's a song I love but there definitely isn't a bad one here 4.5

If I am honest, not amazes by this album. Too much warbling. Outstanding song is hello and then goes downhill. Solid enough but not planning on listening again

Dull as ditch water to me. Musical beige

Classic….I Miss You is the standout track for me.

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

Adele has a ton of talent. Her third album showed that with her vocal range. The songs however were pretty boring and morose compared to her previous two albums. I get there may be a reason behind that but overall this album didn’t have the great quality that 21 had. Hello is a good song and vocally she’s one of the best modern pop singers. Overall this is okay but not the best. 6.2/10

Some great songs, for sure

This wasn’t bad. The first song is a highlight but also establishes a formula of soft, piano driven verses followed by blown-out choruses. It’s very 2010s-ish. A million years ago and all I ask are refreshing, with their colorful chords and vocal melodies

Hmmm…. She certainly does have a great voice. Rich and smooth. But there doesn’t seem to be a whole hell of a lot else going on. It sounded better in the evening, making dinner and drinking a beer, than in the morning with coffee and a crossword. But in both cases, it was sort of just hanging out in the corner, a good-looking vase or a thriving potted plant. Yep, that’s nice, but I’m not going to dwell on it. 3/5.

No shade, she’s got a lovely voice. I just can’t enjoy a whole album of what seems like slightly canned music. I think 2 starts is doing her dirty, but 3 is too many…

3.5

Ik ben back hoor, na zo'n 3 keer te zijn gestorven aan corona leef ik weer en luister ik weer. En met wat voor album kom ik terug; eindelijk luisterbaar!! Ik vind het chill, maar ben gewoon toch niet zo'n Adele fan dat ik dit lekker ga zitten luisteren op een zondagochtend. Dus 4 sterren voor prachtige stem en gewoon props naar Adele man, lekker.

Adele is gewoon nice. Dit album was voor mij niet heel bekend maar Ik heb haar laatste album veel geluisterd.

Ooit op vakantie met de fam dat andere album veel gedraaid, vond dat wel leuker eigenlijk. Mooie stem, maar muziek die ik zelf nooit opzet

4 sterren voor mijn 17-jarige ik die dit helemaal de shit vond (en stiekem nog steeds meeblèren he Ies!!) + banger van een nummer met Adele en Megan Thee Stallion hahahahaha

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

I respect Adele, because I think she's one of the few modern artists who are popular for actually being talented (genuinely what is the deal with people like Ed Sheeran?). She's got some pipes, man. That being said, this is not as consistent as "21" and way simpler. Too many songs here feel like throwaways and nothing reaches the same highs as "Hello" and "When We Were Young". Good album, not an essential listen though. I can see why they removed this from newer editions of the book.

Definitely not Adele's best album but the singles were superb. Her voice is excellent, the piano is excellent I do not know how in God's name Beyonce lost to this when 21 was Adele's best. Having heard 30 makes me realize that Adele could expand more sonically and artistically

Just a regular pop album and I really don't like modern pop

She’s a proper Spurs fan so that gives her a boost from the jump. 3/5

i have to give it a good rating, even though it’s not for me, it’s a beautiful conclusive album.

Nice, but nearly as classic as “21”. 3/5

Adele's strength is, obviously, her amazing emotional voice. She's at her best belting out minimally embellished heartfelt ballads. And her best is best ever territory. She needs a piano, not backup singers. This album is fine, but not all it could have been.

When We Were Young

Hyvää poppia ja ehkä sitä 2010-luvun parempaa, mutta ei siltikään mitään aivan taivaallista

Tjoa. Der Kritik, auf dem Album sei zu wenig gewagt worden, schließe ich mich an.

Love her voice and style. I think the album is fine. Not really sure that it belongs on this list. Newer albums need more time to prove themselves… this is just too recent. It’s good, but…. 3/5

I like most of the track on this album, I really tracks like WWWY or Send my love, shit, I still have to this day Million Years Ago and All I Ask in rotation on my playlists, but man, I'm just learning this is the ONLY Adele album on the list and I have to say It does not make any sense. Is this record a legendary record with youthful bless? No, that’s 19. Is this a legendary breakthrough which took the whole world by surprise and made an instant classic of its author and itself? Nah! That was 25!! Don’t get me wrong, it is a nicely produced and soulful, but none of its tracks go as hard as the ones on the first record. Even if you don’t like Adele, those are records to be heard. This one on the other hand is something we had already seen and with lesser spark than it predecessors. So let’s see, songs like All I ask and Million years ago (which I fully believe it’s written over an Spaniard 70’s song) could easily make this song a 4 stars, but, that fourth star will have to go as it should be 25 and not this, the one on the list.

Le mec a eu du bol de se faire larguer, il a dû échapper à une relation bien toxique et étouffante. C'est bien produit, techniquement elle assure, mais ça ne me touche pas, c'est répétitif et vite plombant et chiant. Ça ne sera pas pour moi.

I wonder if we end up with more Taylor swift or Adele lol She is an unbelievable vocalist. The lyrics are honesty meh, but the way she uses her voice as an instrument is incredible 4/5

Not sure if it’s familiarity or not but all of Adele’s albums seem so top heavy. The big songs are huge and the rest is just a slog. The hits hit hard though: hello, when we were going, and water under the bridge are great

Adele is incredible

Not in my edition of the book! 2015. 3 stars No doubting that she can write a tune and has got a good voice but... I don't think she's moved on from her earlier (and better albums). This goes on a bit, and on a lot of the songs she sounds like a pub singer. It's perfectly acceptable fare, but it's not essential. If you're going to have one Adele album, listen to 21.

Puede que sea el disco de Adele que menos me gusta. Aún así qué bien canta!!! No puedes negarlo. La cuestión es que la fama en general la hece menos disfrutable para mí.

Eh just wasn't in the mood. Found it a bit much.

Might be an Adele fan 3/5

Was Olea stay surprised

Haven't listened to this album in full, just the hits. Solid pop album with a lot of heartfelt songs. Fantastic vocal work as always. Focus here seems to be more on the sadder mood instead of the catchier pop tunes of the first album.

Lovely, rich voice full of soul and emotion. No real hits on this collection, so not special and really only a trillion seller based on her star power alone. I won't be listening to 25 again since 19 and 21 are so much better.

Adele is such a frustrating artist. Amazing singer, good songwriter, but always sticks to the same method and style. Lots of these songs follow the same structure. It makes for a record that meanders way too long. This had potential to be great.

The first 90 seconds of this album are emotionally powerful, but this genre isn't my speed. There are a couple tracks I thoroughly enjoyed, but I the rest didn't hit for me. Overall great production and excellent material.

She has lovely voice. Songs are reasonably well written and the lyrics are reasonably good. The only complaint I have about her songs is they all sound too similar, often similar to songs by other artists, and there are many times I wonder if they are covers.

Not something I would normally listen to but actually an amazingly strong opening. Kind of tales off in mediocrity for me, probably wouldn't put on the full album again though I enjoyed it more than I thought.

Fine Pop album.

Hallo

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.

Broken up hey?

Adele

While not necessarily my musical taste, it is hard to deny the vocal powerhouse that is Adele. This record has so many notable tracks that its impact is still felt in pop culture and the staying power of these songs. Given the increasing gaps between releases it seems as though we will be left with these tracks a bit longer than with other artists, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Man, this Adele album is amazing, I adore her voice. That said… her stuff rarely moves from “that’s a great song” into “and I must hear it over and over” territory for me. Which I think just means I am not her target audience, because it’s inarguably brilliant. It’s not you, Adele, it’s me.

I wish adele had decided to keep the legendary status she had before dropping this album instead of continuing releasing mid music

Has some highlights but overall pretty boring. That's too bad.

Beautifull the ups and downs high and lows the overall tension but relaxed feel is amazing

Overproduced and boring. I expected it to be better.

poštujem, ali nije za mene.

Look, I've heard the song Hello about 1,001 times, but hearing it now, loudly, on good headphones, her voice is just angelic. Majestic. It's soaring nature brings a tear to my eye. Great lyrics, too. I don't love the upbeat songs with electronic elements such Send My Love & I Miss You - I mostly love to hear her voice. That's the real instrument. Water Under The Bridge is a jam, still. "It was just like a movie, it was just like a song, oh how this reminds me of when we were young." Beautiful track. Good album.

Powerful and captivating voice. Adele knows how to convey her feelings and hypnotize her listeners. A couple of majestic songs in this album but, should I feel any type of shame for considering that most of the album sounds the same? Yes, those songs were performed flawlessly (compared to other things in the pop landscape, are gold). I am quite sure that’s my problem, because Adele has lots of praise and success and is one of the most talented pop stars of our era.

notes - adele’s third album - bunch of big hits on it - cant say ive ever sat down and listened to an adele album front to back until now - i always found her music just okay, if at times a bit grating - credits on here from basically every big name pop songwriter in the industry - the whole thing feels super… sanitized - like i feel like the emotion doesnt hit as well because of how its produced - shes an undeniably good vocalist but i wish there was less polish fav - i miss you - love the way the drums sound, maybe a tad too long least fav - remedy - FUCK ryan tedder 2.5/5 not my type

I know that it's not very cool to like Adele, but I would say that almost all of the Adele hate is thanks to the patriarchy and people who think she's lame are being manipulated by the media and the patriarchy...oop. The reason I think this is because people can never give legit reasons for why they think she's "shit" "boring" or "dreary", understandable that it won't be to everyone's taste but neither is Harry Styles and you don't see him getting much hate do you now? She is seriously creative and musically talented. I absolutely love Hello. I don't think people who say all Adele is good for is dreary piano ballads have their ears open tbh... There are heartfelt piano ballads which are her fall-back because they suit her voice so well, and then there's 80s sounding pop songs full of original intrigue. I also think Adele is a good lyricist although I know that's another thing people criticise about her, *eye roll* I Miss You is epic and catchy and makes me feel all the feels.

Well I know what some might think about Adele not owning prestige among the likes of this list but she is a fantastic song writer. I don't listen to Adele regularly but I did enjoy listening to this. All I Ask I think is my favourite Adele song. Some fantastic lyrics all round. I would say she is quite love focused right? A bit typical in that sense. But her use of chord sequence and melody is some of the best. Listened to this in the car and had a great time what can I say

Excellent

Meh

Adele’s best album. Every song is a catchy bop.

Okay, I don’t usually listen to this type of music so I already had bad expectations but honestly this really surprised me. This album makes me levitate with some of the songs. I Miss You and Water Under the Bridge made me feel some type of way. This album focuses more on the vocals than anything and this was a good thing because Adele’s delivery of the lyrics were exceptional. Only knew her because of Hello but this now gave me another view on her. Most of the recognition went to Hello but I feel like she should get more praise for the other songs in this album.

Not her best and becomes tedious

3.25

I think her prior album was much better. Good overall.

6/10

There's no denying that Adele has an incredible voice that commands your attention, singing lyrics that you feel in your core - whether or not you've experienced it first hand. Her hits are worthy of being hits (both those from this album an those throughout her entire career), but the deep cuts here are just okay. They aren't particularly memorable or influential, and I feel like a voice as strong as Adele's deserves music that's more groundbreaking than this. 25 is catchy but a bit too regular for Adele. Still some good songs though, like When We Were Young, Hello, and River Lea.

Like I know she can sing, but she really really can sing! A couple of upbeat ones but yeh lots of sad and slow ones and maybe I get a bit bored after a while, but only a lil

I know she's good. It must doesn't grab me, I don't need to listen to again.

What a voice. Sounds started to all sound the same to me - I don't think I am the target audience here...

What a voice. The production on this album is amazing. Nevertheless it's an album made of a 25-year-old who, at the cusp of adulthood, thinks they know everything there is to know about life (I did too!). Heartbreak suited her better.

Not mine

Didn't think I was a huge Adele fan, but that voice is so powerful!

Fine, not one that I would buy, but fine.

Yeah, yeah yeah it’s a great album, why is it so long?

Regardless of being removed from the list, this album is still a must listen. Adele might've come on so strong she may have overstayed her welcome, but this album is her in her full-swing. 4/5.

Top notch vocal. The music, however, is far outside of my wheelhouse. It is that type of music that is so bland.

Her voice is brilliant which makes it even worse that she makes the same bland song over and over again. Sounds like it's been professionally honed to be inoffensive as possible in order to maximise profit. Hope this is the last Adele on here.

The extra star is for Hello, undeniably a good song. I didn't enjoy it - lots of wailing. The majority of the album is made up of forgettable easy-listening café music. Sorry Adele, better luck next time.

Adele has an amazing voice and I'm not usually into her music. However, I did like it more than I thought and when I am concentrating on the music I found I liked many more songs. Overall I thought it was decent. Highlights were "Hello", "Water Under the Bridge" and "Sweetest Devotion".

She's got a great voice and it sounds very well put together. Very honest, but it's all very samey. Liked it more than I thought I would but shouldn't think I'll listen again

Before I listened to this album, I expected that my review of this album would note the absolutely sensational blockbuster hit, "Hello," but then find the rest of the album wanting, because surely the rest was a mere afterthought, right? But in this I was completely mistaken - there are a lot of great songs on this album; moreover, there is a cohesive thread of songwriting through the album. The songs are about getting older (the old, old age of 25) and learning about life, for better and worse. Of course, Adele's voice is just stellar and her vocals have an authenticity that transcends genre - she is a real talent. Now that I've dispelled my first notion that "Hello" was the only song worth listening to here, I will come back to this album and listen more.

This was alright, nothing wow factor, Adele has a great voice though

Can’t deny that this album was fantastically produced with talented vocals and lush arrangements. I mean, I won’t listen to it again but whatever.

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

Skip

Un dels discos més esperats dels '10s. El teaser que van oferir amb 'Hello' va augmentar encara més l'expectació, ja de per sí brutal, del disc, precedida per l'obra mestra que havia ofert amb '21'. El resultat de '25' no és tan definitiu, però conté molts moments memorables, des de l'inicial 'Hello, 'I Miss You', 'Send My Love (to Your New Lover)', 'Million Years Ago', 'When We Were Young'... Adele va demostrar que no era flor d'un dia, i que la seva veu, capacitat melòdica i les cançons que podia oferir justificaven de sobres l'status de megastar global que va encetar amb '21' i va reforçar amb '25'

What a set of pipes on this one. Adele has a phenomenal voice and the production does not get any better than this. No wonder that sales were through the roof - this is music that you can put on either in the background of a romantic dinner or for when you want a crowd to scream along to 'Hello'.

Pleasantly surprised to see Adele on this list - I have absolute no idea, why I didn’t expect that, when she so obviously belongs here. Adele, for me, is clearly at her strongest when the piano is at focus and everything is grandiose and a tad dark. Obvious highlights are “Hello” and “When We Were Young”, but “I Miss You” really is the one that takes my breath away. What a powerhouse of a track! On the other hand I don’t get the hype about “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)” which I find totally misplaced and heartless. I really don’t need that much radio-pop on my Adele album. Nevertheless; on 25 Adele once again proves that she just might be her generations greatest singer. And that’s saying something.

Not as good as the other one, hearing hello is like a time machine back to 2015.

Gal has pipes

Adele is incredibly talented but also has a habit of writing some tedious piano ballads that don't really go anywhere. This album is far less fun and impactful than the previous two and less raw and emotional than her latest one and is just a very middling point in her discography. There are some incredible songs here - Send My Love is really fun, and All I Ask is absolute gorgeous. Just a shame that a lot of the stuff in the middle is so lifeless

Urgh. I'd been dreading this day. On a Saturday too. I predict this isn't going to do good things for my Parkrun time. Having said that, hello, Hello! What a powerful and moving song. It genuinely affected me. The rest, not so much. It's largely generic pap. The strategy of releasing one big single and somehow getting the 6 o'clock news to promote her album has worked a treat for Adel. Rating: 2/5 Playlist track: Hello Date listened: 26/11/22 P.S. I was right. Almost 30 minutes this morning.

Rating: 9/10 Best songs: Hello, I miss you, When we were young, Water under the bridge, River Lea,

Beautiful every song. Adele’s voice is heavenly and heartfelt.

It was a good album, I would probably listen to it again.

I enjoy this album but it isn't her best. 21 is her best.

I'd never intentionally listened to Adele before this. I enjoyed it. She's incredibly talented. This isn't something I'd reach for but I don't dislike it.

8,5/10

Dit een dagje uitgestelt en hello wel even geskipt. Soms geen slechte nummers maar vaak wel iets wat ik niet nog een keer uit mezelf ga luisteren.

2/5. Some good songs but mostly bland pop.

Quite boring

I don’t mind admitting to enjoying some of Adele’s singles (like the first couple of songs) but I find a lot of the album tracks too cloying. Water Under the Bridge sounds exactly like a piece of stock background music for an ‘inspirational’ corporate video FFS. There’s half a decent album in there, but not a must hear. It’s a 2.5 for 25.

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

im surprised that hello was the most overplayed track of this album, the rest is amazing great album. A worthy successor to 21

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.

Yeah she can sing, good album I guess, not an abomination but not sure its list worthy and first representative of the 2010's. 21 is better

This has to be the most popular and recent album on this list so far. I think in terms of the most known pop singers from 2010s, only Taylor Swift is more popular than Adele. Surprisingly, the album chosen in here is "25". If I had to guess, the record with more singles and hits is "21", at least it stands out much more. In case of the former, the only hit that I know of is "Hello", which actually is a pretty good song. It was a summer tune, but definitely it has quality and the lyrics are slightly more meaningful than of your usual hot tracks list. The album starts pretty strong with songs like "Send My Love" and "I Miss You", but soon after that the quality of the album drops, and we are greeted by fillers, or just a bunch of uninteresting songs. I'm not a big fan of anything there, let it be for music or lyrics. It's clear that Adele has a powerful voice, but it's not enough for me to be kept interested in the album. Not a record I would choose from the popular music in 2010s.

I like Adele quite a bit to be honest I like 25 but 21 is where it’s at. This is still good though I especially really liked River lea what a tune!

I can appreciate her voice but just find this boring

Some solid songs from a very talented vocalist, but by minute 30 I was ready for it to be over.

Tres bon album, j’adore hello et les single de l’album mais l’ensemble est tres bon, adele a aune super voix ! 4.25

78/100: Ok this album serves its purpose. Each song is very specifically targeted to a certain emotion and situation, albeit most of the emotions are some variant of heartbreak. The strength of this album lies in that writing style. When you’ve gone through something similar to what’s sung about on a song in this album, it’s incredibly powerful; however, the biggest weakness of this album is the other edge of that sword. If you haven’t gone through something that’s sung about on this album (which is a much safer bet than the alternative), those songs kind of suck. Adele really trusts the empathetic and even sympathetic abilities of her listeners. Most people aren’t naturally empathetic or sympathetic. I like to think most people can be with some effort, but I don’t listen to music to try to connect to what the artist was going through. The songs from this album that I feel echo my own experiences are incredible. I could listen to them over and over again. The rest (i.e. most of them) are hard to listen to once.

Très bon album, honnêtement les chansons son très bonnes et overall le flux de l'album est divertissant. Adele a une voix incroyable, mais par contre un peu fatigante un album de temps.

Solid

Fine in its own right, but I got kinda tired of a whole album of melancholy, sickly-(bitter)sweet piano ballads. I don’t care for this genre. She should make a rock album, her voice has the power. I think I recognized 4 songs. Maybe 5.

I've probably heard most of this album 10,000 times. Adele is very talented and has a phenomenal voice. I am rarely in the mood to go out of my way to listen to her music, but I don't mind hearing it. I think for me she's been overplayed to death.

Meh-lodrama

Her voice is amazing, and I can see myself listening to a couple of songs again, bit entire album of this vibe istoo much brokenhearted melancholy for me to really ate it highly. Insane voice though.

Música de fondo para supermercados.

Hello- solid single to start us out👍 Send my love- catchy but not much substance I Miss you - strange vibe with this one When we were young- love vocals on this one👍 Remedy- this is an ultrageneric piano ballad All rest of songs are similarly meh to me Is this a competent album? Yes but its also really fucking boring 2/5

8/10

7/10. On one hand there are some great songs, on the other hand the style is just too consistent throughout the album to hold my attention all the way through.

I was caught off guard at how much I enjoyed the songs that weren’t hits on this album. 9/10

celine dion but bri'ish

Not my jam

Goes on a bit doesn't it?

Kelpo tulkintaa ja hieno ääni, mutta ei kosketa sielua (jos sellainen olisi).

Ehjä, upea albumi. Sopii niin tielle kuin vaikka lemmiskelyyn

Amazing voice, the deeper cuts start to border on cheesey/whiney.

so fucking good wow

Quite listenable not really my thing Fav song: when we were young Least fav song: hello

One of the great voices of our generation. Often artists lose their stride by the 3rd album, But think this album managed to live up to 21. Few mediocre tunes but some brilliant ones.

Adele has an incredible voice but this isn't exactly my kind of music, it doesn't help that at my old job we played the same radio station everyday and I would hear at least 1 of these songs several times a day, every single day. I did actually enjoy the last 3 songs on the album though, with Million Years Ago being my favorite.

Great voice, but little variety in the album.

Not her best, but grew on me. Album listen

mom music

The first album that was already part of my listening library - one that I listen to in full occasionally because it is an *experience.* I'm not sure how true it is but I heard this year that Adele wrote Hello to her younger self and ever since, I listen to it differently. She transmits an extraordinary amount of emotion through song, and seven years later, I still get chills listening. I adore Hello, Send My Love, I Miss You, Remedy, Water Under the Bridge, River Lea, Million Years Ago.

I love her voice. She is powerful, and clear. Great arrangements around her

Que en este álbum este When we were young ya le da cinco estrellas automáticamente. Su voz para mí es siempre un viaje a la melancolía, pero al final solo cuatro estrellas por qué hubo canciones que se me hicieron repetitivas.

What an incredibly boring album

Lar tvilen komme til gode her

Ujevnt.

This is a solid album. Adele has a fantastic voice. It's definitely mood music but there's nothing wrong with that.

Great album and amazing voice

-I like "Hello," "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)," "When We We're Young, and "Water Under the Bridge" since I heard them enough on the radio -I like the drums and the harmonies in "I Miss You" -The harmonies and swells into the main chorus in "River Lea" are great -My familiarity with it maybe held boostit, but it's right on the border of strong 3 and weak 4

Here's the thing: I listened to this album on Spotify. And then it did the whole "You listened to 25, so you'll like this..." and it played another Adele track: "Right As Rain" from her 19 album. I liked that one song better than the whole of the 25 album. Why? Because it was different than all of that album. 25 seemed to just be torch song after torch song. It just... got very morose. Halfway in, I was looking for a knife to slit my wrists (ok not really, but you get the idea). I will say I did not hear as much vocal processing. Adele's distinct vocals were very easy to pick out; it did not sound like anyone else (which always frustrates me, how autotune will usually kill any uniqueness of a person's voice.) So the album is pretty depressing just because the songs themselves feel the same (I think the 4th song was a little upbeat, and maybe one other). So as well done it was, and how great of a voice Adele has, it's not going to be something I go back to.

I've said it before - Adele is one of (if not) the best pop artists that has come along this century. She is also one of the best of all time. Great vocals, incredible lyrics - their combo brings out such emotion. Enough to give you goosebumps. Not sure if I love all the compositions - maybe she needs to choose her producers and collaborators better? Sometimes it just felt a little too over-produced (I Miss You, River Lea) when what I think would have been better was something more stripped down (emphasizing her talent). I think Hello is a bit overplayed but you can't deny its raw power - and it is a very minimal track as far as instruments go. Ditto When We Were Young. Send My Love and Water Under the Bridge have a bit more going on musically than others but I still love them - enchanting. The second half of the album wasn't quite as good as the first, though I appreciate it did feel more stripped down. I think her previous album was just a bit better. Not quite a 5 for me, but probably 4.5.

9/6/22

Listened Before? N I've heard selections from this album, and the first track was SO overplayed when it was current that it makes me want to NOT like the album... but in spite of that, I really enjoyed it. When We Were Young is my favorite, and that's what I've added to the playlist. Added to Library? N

First few seconds of this album I thought she was going to do a Lionel Ritchie cover. Thank goodness that mission was aborted. Her voice is amazing but the songwriting would be nothing without her voice. Also, her musicians are kept on a tight leash in all but a few songs. It's too bad that her singing is trapped in a one dimensional world. I'm rounding up due to her voice.

I remember seeing Adele perform Hello live at an awards ceremony the year it was released. I got goosebumps when she belted out the first note of the chorus and the crowd went wild. She has one of greatest and most recognizable voices of her generation. Young girls, and older ones too, must go crazy for her lyrics. On this LP I prefer the songs that aren’t the most popular. River Lea has a bit of a gospel feel, Million Years ago sounds like something I would have heard on 8-track in my uncle’s car in the 60s, I think I Miss You is my favourite with its moody feel. As a side note, it’s interesting that, Adele, like Beyonce & Amy Weinstein had all the songs written or co-written by the producers, who have very impressive resumes. I'm giving one less point than her 21 album.

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

Good enough for background music but I honestly don't see what the big deal was. Certainly not worthy of a cultural phenomenon spanning years and years

Certified Hood Classic

For an international powerhouse, who's third album stirred up so much hype, this has a lot of skipable tracks. Great voice but rudimentary song writing.

There are just some very impressive moments on this album, Adele has one hell of a set of pipes.

Excellent pop. Well produced. Well played.

Sing this one at the top of your lungs and you will feel better for it! Such a powerful album and means alot to me personally. Adele has one of the most powerful voices and each song ignites a new feeling deep within whether it be anger, heartbreak, love etc. Favourite songs: When we were young, Love in the dark

I've heard probably half of these songs. Not really my type of music, but Adele has a great voice and I mostly like the songs fine. I did find the general tone a little sad and depressing though.

10/10 babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy love me some adele

Love Adele! So passionate and gets the listener to really connect to the lyrics in their own way. My fav song was Water Under the Bridge.

Great listen for being in your feeling. Water under the bridge was my favorite.

Starke Balladen und 1-2 Lieder die auch abseits ihres Radio-Pop-Daseins eine gute Figur machen

Pants

She certainly does have some powerful pipes.

She can sing, f'sure, but about half of these songs are too straight forwardy pop to properly hold my attention. Some of them had some quite nice wall of sound cinematic production, I guess. Fave track - "Hello", I guess?

EVERYTHING IS SO DRAMATIC AND HOW DOES ADELE GET THROUGH A DAY WITHOUT WARBLING

Really good voice and great harmonies. Not just all boring pop songs, has some nice rhythms and indie flare

of course we're familiar with this album. I think it was overplayed and that usually dampers my association with an album/songs. I don't think this is her best album but i do think it's better than her newest one. 19 & 21 still are the top. i was also listening to adele in high school or middle school? before she blew up so 19 & 21 hold a special place. this shouldn't have won over lemonade.

6 tracks in and my attention's starting to wander. She reminds me of the date from hell. You know the one. She is really attractive with this sardonic sense of humour. After two cocktails she's given the bottle of white a fair going over, and is now totally off about a past relationship. The humour has gone and you are just waiting for the night to end. It's nice for Adele that's she's made a bucket of money from her angst, but maybe it's time to move on.

4.25

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

Beautiful, powerful voice. 5/5 stars for that. Of course the music isn’t my favorite and, as most music these days is, the focal point is the vocals. To me, vocals should be a supporting role to the music and nothing more. The music and instruments are much more important.

Cheer up luv, its not that bad. Cracking pipes but not really for me

I think adele is fine, ive never been her biggest fan tho. This album was alright

Better than i remembered, or at least the first half was. The piano and vocal balads as shite though. Undeniable talent, but not always used to her full potential

Great voice, music seems to get really heavy and dramatic though.

Nice.

Love Adele the person. Her music just does nothing for me. That's cool, she's chill about it.

None of the tunes made an impact on me. She has a strong voice, though she sounds like she has a sore throat. The back up vocals are nice, and there's some pretty piano in there as well.

Given 21 is on the list, I don’t agree that 25 needs to be on the list too. This is just a more boring version of 21.

Thank goodness I’m hearing this today instead of 5 years ago, where I can finally separate the songs from the void of adult contemporary radio. Except for “Send My Love”, it’s not even a bad song but I’m still recovering from hearing it 20 too many times Highlights: “Hello”, “I Miss You”, “When We Were Young”, “River Lea”.

The Hello video only has 2.9B views. I figure if I watch it a few more times, I can be the 3 billionth view. That's cool, right? RIGHT? Such a powerhouse. It really is true. Heartbreak brings out the creativity of artists. Jagged Little Pill, Tragic Kingdom, Rumors.

A bit long and not my favorite music, but essentially every song has enough of a hook to keep itself interesting and raise above just "nice sounding" music. Hello is an all time classic. Impressive.

Really enjoyed this album more than I thought I would. After listening to 30 and returning to this, it's noticeable just how much better and well-aged this album has lasted in comparison to her new one. Sure it's a lot of stripped-down piano and guitar ballads but I'm a fan of that shtick.

She has a classically trained voice, which is raised by the professional production. There is more depth to the mood of the album than an average pop album. The album is piano and string driven. The songs with drums act as high points to the album. The guitar driven song is a nice breath in arrangement near the end. The album is bookended by two stand out songs. The middle gets washed out in mood from too many similar feeling songs.

Some big hits on this album. Adele is an incredible singer/songwriter. The album as a whole is very good, but quite melancholy. I feel like this is the perfect album to listen to on a gloomy day.

Very well written pop songs that allow Adele to highlight her vocal abilities without resorting to going to a falsetto for every song (a common complaint I have with modern pop vocalists). Overall though I found the first half of the album to be much stronger than the second half. The main highlight for me on the second half was the closer Sweetest Devotion. It just felt like all the tracks after Water Under the Bridge ran into eachother until reaching Sweetest Devotion.

A few undoubtedly popular/great songs, but I was underwhelmed with the majority of the album. Highlight: Hello Lowlight: Million Years Ago

muito agradável

A lab-grown, executive-directed, soulless album with about as much cultural impact as the first Avatar movie. Adele has great vocals, but some of the vocal rhythms/song structures here are so tortured they should be protected under the Geneva convention.

Not my thing, did not enjoy

One of the few modern pop stars I really can get into.

Adele has such a wonderful voice and phrasing that this record is a bit of a let down. 19 absolutely belongs on this list, 21 perhaps, but not this. Some good tracks and beautiful production, especially the piano accompaniments, but not her best.

Boring. At every point they chose safe and simple. This could have been made by any half talented singer in any era.

Meh. Some of the songs are okay, I guess. It's a pretty boring album overall.

10/10

I thought she was overrated but adele kinda came thru on this one. like every song in the first half is a banger, there were a few misses in the second half tho.

Obviously a powerful voice and I like the arrangements. The lyrics... as always I find it a little hard to take a 25 year old waxing philosophical about their deep relationship travails, and how time has changed them. Even setting that aside there is a lot of faux-deep that reveals pretty banal constructions on closer examination. But hey, sometimes that’s just what you’re looking for.

OK, but not for me

Heel goed, maar luister niet heel vaak ernaar

Весьма неплохой поп-альбом!

God damn that was dull

Y’a du très bon et du très mauvais sur cet album. Elle est particulièrement intéressante dans les chansons qui ont un grand range dynamique comme Hello. Quand c’est doux, c’est plein de textures, tant au piano qu’au vocal. Quand c’est fort, ça arrache tout. À la fin d’un album entier, on est un peu tanné de se faire crier dans les oreilles par contre. Aussi à Water under the bridge, j’étais certain que c’était une pub qui partait. Ça sonne comme un loop qu’on achète sur Envato. Pas bon ça.

Inégal comme album. La voix est superbe et la production sonne bien. Après, certains reprochent à Beyoncé d’avoir pleins de collaborateurs pour écrire ses pièces et bien on a la même chose ici. Par contre ici, je trouve que ça ne se tiens pas aussi bien comme tout. Il y a des styles qui ne lui vont pas bien (Send my love fait très Taylor Swift). J’ai l’impression qu’il pourrait y avoir 3-4 albums différents avec les styles des différentes pièces. Aussi, pour une fille de 25 ans, j’ai l’impression que ça s’adresse à un publique de gens beaucoup plus vieux. Elle a définitivement du talent et une voix unique, mais je m’attendais à être plus séduit par l’album. C’est correct. Pièces préférées: I Miss You, River Lea, Million Years Ago

Boring. Was hard to make it through this album. I know she has a great voice but these songs were Snooooorrrring

3 1/2

Great set of pipes on her, but too pop for me.

Another mega-pop artist one struggles to get and/or is not much moved by.

About 4 years better than the last one.

raw talent x megabucks production = love island montage soundtrack

Adele has such a beautiful and powerful voice, and even though I'm not usually a fan of pop music, I can appreciate her talent. Hello and Send My Love are 5/5 songs to me. Send My Love always brings back fond memories of when I was in England and Scotland for vacation. This is one of the songs that kept playing on the radio and I always associate that song with that trip. Wonderful album overall.

Not her masterpiece, but a really solid follow up

Great singer but it doesn’t grab me where it matters and the whole thing just passed me by in a gentle sameness.
