25

I loved it. All I ask is heartbreaking and a great bsides . Hello is a 10 beller

HELLO…. ITS ME…. I WAS WONDERING IF AFTER ALL THESE YEARS IF THIS ALBUM WAS STILL GOOD AND IT’S STILL EEEEHHHHHH!

Fantastic singer. I can’t believe this album is more than 10 years old. Definitely those three solid gold hits, but tbh, not too much more than that for me here. 2.5

Nah.

“It matters how this ends, ‘cause what if I never love again?” Obligatory “man, what a fucking voice, holy shit can this person sing, god damn” comment, because holy shit can Adele sing. What a voice. I wonder once again if ‘30’ will be included on this list eventually. I think that’d be a more worthy entry than this particular Adele album, but whatever. Sounds like there’s a new edition coming out in October ‘26 anyways. That being said, this album is better than I remember. I thought it was longer than it is, and while some of the songs feel a little bloated it is mostly time appropriately used. It was hard to hear the big hits from this with fresh ears, but if I can work past the listening fatigue they are sturdy, worthy songs (especially “Send My Love (To Your New Lover)”). It’s not her fault radio loves her. “All I Ask” is one of her crowning achievements of songwriting and vocal performance, in my opinion. Could break the heart of a single person or person in relationship both. I don’t think she’s the best lyricist to walk the earth or anything, but she does find ways to speak very directly to the human experiences that can pierce through me when I’m not expecting it.

I really thought I'd enjoy this a lot more because I was familiar with a few of the songs and they're pretty incredible. Turns out, the hits are hits for a reason, and the rest of the album is just OK.

Love Adele! Album is good with a nice mix of sounds and songs. Overall enjoy her album. This album is so nostalgic for me. And her voice is just so pretty!!

Worst thing about this album is the cover. Scares the hell out of me. Why is she looking at me like that. Fantastic voice as always, but I felt like I wanted something different from the production. It either felt too safe or too much, but I guess that’s what happens when an album is carried by its vocalist. I was surprised to find that some of the songs that have been overplayed by the radio were still a delight to hear. Others were just a pain to have to listen to again. Overall, solid listen.

Absolutely amazing album. I was warm going in and almost ended up in tears about a breakup I never had. The absolute pipes on this woman!

Oops all bangers (esp last few songs)

There are a few more highlights than I expected (Send My Love, Water Under The Bridge) but man do all the ballads get tiresome. An undeniably talented woman with an incredible voice just so many boring songs. Playlist track: Water Under The Bridge

you know who's jealous of adele... looking back, the album was made kind of huge it doesn't feel like that when you listen to it a good album anyways and as always, adele and her voice are the greatest assets of the album, not the producing or the lyrics. even though they feel like very personal

objectively good. not my sound.

Increíble. Diría que es el disco de Adele que sirve por excelencia para azotarse, pero creo que todos sus discos funcionan igual. Pero este tiene algunos temas muy llegadores. Creo que mi favorito es When we were young. Para escuchar en una noche solitaria mientras se camina en la oscuridad y SUFRIR.

Who doesn't like Adele? Not my favorite era but she knows what she's doing

Send My Love (To Your New Lover) is the only real banger here, When We Were Young is like two ratchets shy of hitting the Elton vibe it's aiming for, but it's never bad

Some wonderful songs even if I don't consider it outstanding.

I like it! First 3 songs and the closer are the clear highlights for me due to being way more dynamic than everything in between, but when we get several songs of sad piano and virtuostic vocals it starts blending together, even if it's not getting on my nerves

Stays afloat the whole time -- the one song that I didn't know before that grabbed me was "Sweetest Devotion", but the banger here is "Send My Love to Your New Lover", I think the clear achievement of this album that otherwise I find lesser to all of her other albums (this weirdly was the only one I had never checked out). Good but not especially great ya know

Songs added to my 1001 Bangers playlist: Hello, Send My Love (To Your New Lover), When We Were Young, Sweetest Devotion (I mainly like the backup singers here)

shes got a nice voice and the songwriting is competent but nothing really feels like, sticky, for me

Undeniable vocal prowess but majority of the tracks don't light a fire in me

More eclectic than 21 with an infusion of new genres but...less electric.

An amazing vocalist, for sure. Her style of vocal pop isn’t something I'm drawn to. 'Hello' is a great song, and 'Water Under the Bridge' caught my attention, whether I wanted it to or not.

I absolutely love adeles voice. It's so smooth and freaking delicious. I know people complain about her not experimenting much with instrumentals etc but i love the focus on her voice because it truly is the star! Forgot how much I actually like her music. Yes a lot of the songs are similar sounding but i could listen to her voice all day. wow. 7/10

Down for this. Goosebumps is a good indicator. Adele makes incredible music. This is my first 5/5

Prachtig album, niet het mooiste van Adele, maar zeker een must listen

Adele's voice is so clear and powerful. The album starts well but eased off after the third track and was slightly underwhelming. When she's good, she's amazing but some of the album passed by as filler for me.

Immediate 5 stars- she is art I love it. Score score score

Amazing intro with hello Really like the album until about "Million Years Ago", that's where the tracks become a bit too much for me 4/5 Standouts: Hello, I Miss You, Water Under the Bridge No's (2.5s): Remedy, All I Ask and Sweetest Devotion

Not my usual type of music, but she's got a great voice and the music was pretty good, too. I think previously this would have been a 3-star, but since I'm trying to be both nicer and more harsh, I'm giving this one four stars.

Amazing voice! Really smart artist! Great album!

Quality voice and brilliant song writing. More than just the hits and the Bond themes.

- 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.

Apparently Adele named her albums after how many times Len Houmous tried it on with her. She was his 21st century Joni Mitchell. 3.2 5/11 Remedy

She’s got a beautiful voice but I also find it super boring….

She can sing but signers don't do it for me.

Boring. She can sing I guess.

3/5

Cheesy warbling power ballads, every song sounds the same, this should not be on the list

Adele is ridiculously talented, so I refuse to give her anything less than three stars. Her voice is still incredible, and there’s no denying how good of a performer and writer she is, especially at such a young age. That alone deserves respect. That said, this album just didn’t hit me the same way 21 did. Nothing here grabbed me or stuck around once it was over, even though everything is polished and well done.

i mean— dude, its adele...

So,e excellent songs but drops off toward the end. Crazy voice

25 is 100

Hello…it’s me still loving this album

I’ve definitely never intentionally listened to this whole album, but I knew almost every song. So that’s something. By the time we were about halfway through though I was starting to get bored, seemed like there were really only two songs here, the slower ballads and the faster pop songs.

Première fois que j'écoute un album au complet d'elle. Comme dirait China ça vaut un 2 mais on peut lui donner 3 pour sa voix.

Des belles tounes à chanter à tue tête en auto avec le poing brandi. Super belle charge émotive dans la voix, elle me fair penser à Amy Winehouse, mais aussi la puissance de Whitney Houston et le soul de Alicia Keys. Je suis content qu'elle fasse ses propres compos mais la qualité, l'originalité souffre un peu de la comparaison presqu'immédiate avec Joni Mitchell...

Quelle voix, faut le dire. Agréable sans etre dans ma palette. J’aime beaucoup I Miss You et River Lea.

She is great!

Yes, the voice is immaculate (we know), but 25 deserves more credit as a carefully constructed mood album that actually rewards a full Track 1–11 listen. It’s polished, reflective, and emotionally cohesive… and now I’m just sitting here patiently waiting for Adele’s next major life milestone to bless us with another one.

Pleasantly surprised by the quality but the whole album is the same "I miss my ex" and there's not enough variety in songs for me

Her voice is horrendous, it just cuts through me like a carving knife. She's permanently wailing. I can't stand it. It doesn't help that she's a bit of a cunt too, very full of herself, and comes across poorly. The actual instrumentation and songs aren't terrible, it just her nasally, whiny timbre that ruins it. She can stay in the US for all I care. I did make it all the way through so it's 2 stars.

good

I get the appeal, so please get that this does not appeal to me. The songs are so earnest, and her voice sounds like she's straining -- it's occasionally painful to hear.

an angel from heaven

La mayoría suena igual. La voz de Adele carga todo el álbum sobre sus hombros. Es como música de señora divorciada que vive en zona de dinero.

I hate adele there is like 2 song I am intrested in here million years ago is ok

Banger album! Great voice! Ear-worm songs!

She has a pleasant voice.

3/5

Adele is always a nice break from the usual slop I'm given. Plus, she's just calming to my ears.

absolute excellence nothing to say

adele has a nice voice but i have never really been particularly fond of her music, having only heard it on the radio, in stores, etc. unfortunately i find her music to be very dull. i wish i liked it more, because i do like her voice. the production here is pretty bare bones and stark, but there are some production moments that have not aged so well - particularly the production on 'water under the bridge' sounds like royalty free music on a youtube pre-roll ad. i suspect this is not her fault and they are taking the sound from her, but it still sounds pretty awful in retrospect.

Canciones que no sabía que estaban ahí, como canciones famosas. No se porque no me encanta Adele aunque yo quiera! Pero es un buen álbum.

2.5

Really good album. I knew the singles off this album (Hello, Water Under the Bridge, Send My Love to Your New Lover) and there were several others that were really good as well. Haunting songs about heartbreak. Great vocals, great tunes. (4)

This album was frustrating for me to listen to, because as talented as Adele is, her music lately is just SO dull and not compelling to me. I enjoyed 21 (though that might have more to do with my associations with it), but many songs from 25 fell flat for me, or were a bit irritating (the chorus of Send my Love has always irked me).

I've got nothing against Adele. Great voice. Like her as person (from the little bit I know). Enjoy her music in small doses. Her style is just not something I would normally listen to at length. While I was already familiar with many of her songs, this was the first time listening to a full album. It hasn't changed my opinion. Great for one song at a time, but a full album of them just sound too similar and not really my thing.

I have heard songs many great things about how good Adele is, but have never listened to anything beyond her James Bond theme. First of all, yes I can agree that she has a great voice. But as with 90% of pop artists, this is where her talent ends. Once again, like most modern pop artists, the first thing I look at is the the writing credits, and of course every song has one or multiple songwriters attached to it. And when you Google these songwriters, they write for all the big pop albums. But I have complained about this for years, and I will always complain about it, you cant call yourself a singer songwriter, if you don't write all your music, that would make you just a singer. I digress. What really made me laugh was the wiki writeup on the writing process of this album, and how she suffered from writers block, and could not come up with any new ideas. Oh poor Adele. You dont write all of your songs, you always have a team of writers, so how can you complain about writers block. And I laughed out loud with the remark about running out of ideas, well that is because you write about the same subject in every damn song, love, breakup, relationships. What I would give for an original written song by Adele about standing in her kitchen baking cookies! You cant complain about writers block and that you have no new ideas when you sing about the same shit in every song. Rant over! From now on every company manufactured pop album on this list is getting one star. I am giving this one two only because she has a good voice!

Schön

so good

for me it gave too sad vibes

sinceramente? é o menos bom dela eu acho. gosto do 19 e do 21 mas esse é tão... sei lá ela parece velha nele.

um dos meus álbuns favoritos da década de 2010!!! apesar de ser menos soul que o 21 e extremamente melodramático em alguns momentos – não à toa Adele é trilha sonora de novela – eu nunca me canso dele. tem tantas canetadas incríveis e é tão maduro pra alguém que escreveu as letras aos 25 anos. a única música que eu não ligo muito é remedy. favs: water under the bridge e sweetest devotion

a voz dela é incrível, os arranjos são lindamente orquestrados, mas... não consigo gostar.

Harsh but I just didn’t need to hear about her getting dumped again.

> the Beatles

3/3. This is undeniable. Her vocals are off the charts, the arrangements feel timeless and epic. I’m wasn’t as moved by the more melancholy songs, but for love scorned and love found, she captures it about as well as anyone can.

I think this is a 2.5, but the vocal talent feels illegal to assign a 2 to so it’s probably a bland 3? It’s probably a 2

Adele is just phenomenal. I like 21 a little more and like my review for that album, nothing receives backlash like excellence. And she is excellent. This isn't the style of music I usually pick but I could listen to her sing all day.

Безусловно легендарный альбом

electro pop, she has a fantastic singing voice. the first 2 songs are great then it really falls apart. the whole vibe is just way to sad and sappy for my taste. I am impressed with her vocals, but the music just doesn't do anything for me. I will give it 2 stars just because her voice is that good, but this is an album I will never play again.

Couple of bangers but after that not overly fussed

Álbum incrível. Ouvi algumas músicas na rádio na época. Foi bom conhecer as outras músicas do álbum.

2015 - 2018 weren’t great years for me. Was it because this album was completely inescapable? No, but it certainly didn’t fucking help! I have a hard time respecting Adele as an artist when she makes millions capitalizing on bastardized renditions of heartbreak. The production style feels dated now, thank god. Her performative vocal style is nauseating and the lack of emotional depth in her lyrics is laughable. The only way I could sit through this album was trying to put words to why I have such a strong aversion to her. (Also, I’m not saying she’s an unattractive woman because she’s not, but her album covers are ass.)

Great vocals. Wonderful production. But the songs themselves are just not for me. Had I heard this completely fresh, I might have a slightly higher opinion. But this just brings me back to a time that I simply have no desire to revisit. And that’s a me problem, so I cannot completely blame dear Adele for that.

I was sort of excited to listen to this because there are a few Adele songs I really like. I was disappointed by the non-singles. I absolutely love When We Were Young. The only other song that stuck out to me was Water Under the Bridge. Other than that, kind of plain and same-soundy as all 'diva' radio music.

All the bangers, all the lungs, straight up sanging

This kind of balladry is really not my thing.

everything here is incredible, but almost everything is like a minute too long too

Honestly I can only take about nine ballads in a row (granted some of these aren't ballads but.....they're on thin ice) 2.5

Impeccable recording and production quality and stunning vocals as you would expect. Enough variety to keep it interesting throughout, despite being predominantly sad woman with a piano. I thought the run time was the right length, most of the songs are over 4 minutes but it didn't drag. Just not my kind of thing really and I didn't connect with it emotionally, but I don't think that would ever happen for me with this style of music.

I really liked the ballads, but the other stuff, not so much.

Powerful voice but so much sameness...stopped listening after 4 or 5 songs.

Not her best work

Classique mais même si elle est forte, j'arrive pas, c'est pas trop ma came. Genre c'est triste mais pas de la manière douce et belle que j'aime, ni de la façon déchirante. J'arrive pas à accrocher quoi

Melodic ballads

Great voice, just not a fan of the music

2/5 Songs are well mixed and mastered, but ultimately aren’t interesting musically or lyrically. The general feeling on this album is that of vulnerability, mistrust and hopeless optimism. Adele has a really great voice but I’m totally incapable of relating to the songs on this album.

Found it bit low energy

It was alright. Lots of radio hits. Many of the ballads began to sound the exact same. Defiantly prefer her earlier work.

Badass

Great voice but honestly, this is a very boring album. The tracks aren’t bad individually, but personally, I don’t enjoy listening to piano ballad after piano ballad after piano ballad. If you can sit through this without wanting to explode, I salute you. 2/5

Her voice doesn’t need all of the pop production around it, it takes away from it

First 5/5 for me personally, grew up with this album throughout various stages of my life and it can hit every category you need. Heartbreak, love, loss, childhood. Adele is a powerhouse.

I feel the same as NinaQ... just a blur of sad ballads.

This is a hard one to rate. Her voice is excellent, obviously. The first song Hello is good, even though we've all it heard it a million times. I genuinely like Send My Love. Then the album just becomes a blur of overproduced ballads and it was hard to get into it. Looking forward to her reprise of "When We Were Young" on her 50 album.

Great voice.

i've heard most of these songs before, peak childhood album

Good pop music. Very good voice. Very compressed production.

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.

Marcante, e aquela música é muito plágio

Great voice, boring songs.

So great. If there are any 5s on this list, this has to be one of them. And it's not even her best album. The vocals, the melodies, the vivid evocation, the piano, the variety of vibes, the number of stand alone bangers. And she was only 25!!! 5 squared. So yeah it's a 5.

I found the album underwhelming. It's mostly a re-hash of previous albums, with nothing new to say.

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 know I should like this more, it is an album full of hits. But it just didn't land too hard for me. Maybe I've just heard the songs too often?

Loved this album. I really only knew “hello” but she had plenty of other bangers!

Opnieuw een sterke plaat van deze dame. Ik ben iets minder bekend met de hits deze keer, maar het staat allemaal weer als een huis. Om een hoge score te bereiken vind ik dat een plaat minstens één nummer moet hebben dat echt raakt, en in dit geval is dat 'When we were young'. Wat een dijk van een lied is dat toch.

We kregen eerder al het album 21. Een album met een krachtig begin en een continue kwaliteit. Datzelfde geldt voor dit album. 'Hello' springt er flink uit. De andere nummers klinken allemaal prima, maar trekken net iets minder de aandacht dan de nummers van 21. Ze klinken iets volwassener, maar dat zal iets de maken hebben met de albumtitels. Adele heeft zich iets breder georiënteerd en durft nu bijvoorbeeld ook een jaren '80 geluid neer te zetten (Water under the bridge). Het is nog wel een aardige tussenweg. Ik luister gelijk maar het album 30. Maar daarbij schiet ze wat te ver door en wordt het soms wat te speels en iets vaker te saai.

Adele blijft een van de beste zangeressen van dit moment, misschien wel vergelijkbaar met Whitney Houston uit haar periode en Aretha Franklin voor haar. De muziek die ze maakt, draait daarom wel volledig om haar stem. En dat is misschien dan wel terecht, het wordt er ook iets eentonig van. Stuk voor stuk zijn het prachtige nummers an sich, maar als je een heel album achter elkaar krijgt, dan sneeuwt het ene nummer het andere onder. Maar dat ze kan zingen, dat staat buiten elke discussie. Omdat ik het vorige album al een 3,5 heb gegeven die ik naar boven heb afgerond, rond ik de 3,5 nu naar beneden af. Maar het had net zo goed andersom kunnen zijn denk ik.

Lots of feelings and so obviously, an amazing vocal performance

Solid all the way through. High school nostalgia

Adele has a beautiful voice, and she's a lovely person. Her songs are very emotionally touching and well written. It just is not my jam. I listenednto the entire album to give it a fair shake, and just can't see myself listening again on purpose.

It's alright. Great voice, songs are fine. Weird there are 2 Adele albums on this list

I'm surprised that this one was included instead of 21. I love "Water Under the Bridge", and the rest were generally alright.

What an amazing voice and old soul. Seem crazy that she was so young. The lyrics feel so mature… she has loved deeply, lost, and moved on. I knew the singles but sitting down to listen to the album front to back hits different.

It’s ok.

While this isn’t my normal taste I enjoyed the album.

Bigger is not necessarily better. Not sure pop acts like this belong on this list--the whole point of albums like this is to be flavor-of-the-week, no? Woman has a voice though.

I know she’s talented and has a distinctive voice, but I find this brand of Maudlin lost love droning extremely tedious.

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.

I couldn’t get through the whole thing. She uses the same vocal techniques in almost every one of her songs, and for all the applause she gets as a singer, her range is really limited. The material isn’t half bad, but there’s only so much Adele I can take. (She does have one of, if not the, best Bond songs, so there's that.)

I prefer when she was rolling in the deep and not belting ‘em out with such drama. Empty

Holy shit this woman sings. "Heartbreak feels good in a place like this." Water Under the Bridge feels like the encapsulation of everything on this one. It balances the ache of a breakup with optimism and hope, and guides us all the way from the initial hurt to the mountain climbing "I've got this, I'm stronger" feeling without saying it directly to you. Her voice carries every emotion in one song. How?! I think what's so impressive about this album is how it doesn't ever go so far that you are overwhelmed. The slower (Hello, Love in the Dark) ballads are balanced with Adele's vocals, as well as beautiful arranged strings and piano. Million Years Ago gently lean into European style guitar while still feeling authentic to her voice, which remains the centerpiece.

I love this album. I remember getting it on vinyl and being blown away by how beautiful it was.

Only liked a couple songs. The ballads got repetitive. Fav: sweetest devotion (banger)

こういう音楽の何が好きではないかを考えてみたけど、歌唱力のあるソロボーカリストに用意された、歌を強調するための楽曲というものが、めちゃくちゃ退屈なんだと思う。

incredible

good but boring

Not my thing. She has a great voice but the song writing seems like it doesn’t catch her essence. Million Years Ago and Sweetest Devotion were alright. The lyrics are sometimes cheesy. Overall would not listen to again.

love her voice, like the record, it works. love in the dark was my favvv

the other one was better.

An okay album, not for me, not sure I love an entire album that is a ballad. But she’s very talented.

beautiful album, revised to it today, so it felt peaceful

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]

Much better than I thought on the first pass. Quite listenable, I never really gave her much of a chance but will come back to this one. 3.5 stars. What a voice.

The rating is already in the name of the album?

I just don’t like it

I was surprised by how many songs I already knew! Adele’s voice is just out of this world and I hope somebody eventually treats her right 😫

Adelee 😭😭❤️ but also i would only listen to like three of the songs in this album so -1star

It's great that a lot of people have this as their favorite music. I love it when people enjoy things.

favorite - sweetest devotion 7/10

очевидно, что альбом популярный и iconic. но чтобы получать удовольствие от прослушивания надо разделять те же эмоции, что и адель - поэтому он пока не для меня

Incredible vocals. Too pop for everyday listening. But still 8/10 album

I liked it, there some songs that aren't my favourite but she has a good voice so i don't mind.

Well is has a bangers and ofcourse, Adele's voice is etheral. But there is a reason why 21 is still in every record store en 25 is not and it is felt too.

was gonna be 4 stars but then love in the dark/ million years ago came on. fuck.

Clearly very good if you like this sort of thing, not for me.

3.5

Great voice, total snoozefest

Poor woman has never gotten over anything in her life

I could understand really liking this album if you were in your feels. I Twas not.

Great voice. Some great tracks.

Oh my god, connected with my inner white girl. Always though Adele was just pop idol who sang about her exes but this was an amazing album - big sounds and powerful lyrics 9/10

Unreal voice, was surprised how much I liked the album

3.0 stars I was expecting more. I've loved the singles I've heard from her over the years. she's got an amazing voice but these songs didn't really hit with me. Favorite songs: Hello & Sweetest Devotion

Well, i love myself some Adele to dramatise my bus rides but i must admit this is not even her best album

Elle chante certes bien, mais ce n'est vraiment pas ma came

Ridiculously talented vocalist, but I can only take so much of a whole album of nothing but dramatic songs about relationships. Can begin to sound the same.

Her voice is powerful and clear like water. But the album felt like a pot of water I was watching intently, waiting for it to boil.

I can hang with 21. This - I just can't. Too many similar sounding ballads that share a nearly identical sentiment - a sentiment that has been shared many times before with nothing to make them stand out. Her voice is great and all but I just feels so smooth here with no grit. That being said - what the hell was I doing at 25?

amazing

Sad white girl bangers tbh…

Good , yearning and feels . The songs have good compositions

this will be SO good when I'm older

Added some more songs to my favorites. Giving it a 5 because remembering when my son was a teenager singing Hello in a death metal voice will always make me laugh.

maneirinho. tem uns hits babadeiros. escutei enquanto pintava as unhas.

Not great

You could never go wrong with mother Adele I didn’t actually listen to the whole Blum but it’s truly such a beautiful and accurate presentation of love

ja ne, die klavier "solos" waren noch mein lieblingsteil von den Songs. In 2023 hab ich Adele echt viel gehört, auch das Album. Aber inzwischen ist es echt nicht mehr meins.

Great voice but not my thing

Man there was one song that sounded straight up like something from a commercial. Still I feel it would be wrong to give it 2. Even though its not something I would listen to normally, some of the songs were not half bad

Adele's "25" gets generated to me on the first day of 2026. What sort of cruel, twisted irony is this? I had the entirety of last year to get this album. It would have been perfect if I got it yesterday. But no. Big 1001 is laughing at me. Annoyances aside, I've always loved Adele. Some of my first memories of music was when my mum would play Adele when I was a lot smaller when making a lovely spaghetti bolognese, so this brought back some nice nostalgia. Adele's voice is phenomenal, and this album has some underappreciated bangers alongside ones I've never heard before. I Miss You was a great surprise. It is rather one-dimensional and there are a couple of songs in here that aren't as good. Adele is one of those few exceptions where I'd look to listen to individual songs of hers rather than a full album. Definitely on the higher side of 4.

The high production value stands out but I think that’s what turned me off. I prefer her first album, where’s she raw and a bit rough around the edges.

Nostalgic music for me, there were many songs that I recognized from the radio growing up. Adele has an incredible singing voice and style, and the songwriting definitely takes care to highlight Adele’s vocals. Hearing more unfamiliar songs gave me the ability to listen to this era of Adele uncolored by nostalgia/history, but I think the stronger tracks were the ones that became the most popular.

So melodramatic. Would probably enjoy it more if I were a depressed person.

reminds me of my sorority songs - always great

Not really my bag. She is extremely talented but just really not my thing.

2.5

Wonderful voice

A no skip album

Classic - 9/10

So so so nostalgic All of her singles were absolute bangers Imagine being able to sing and write like that at 25 wow!!!

What a voice.

Never really got Adele. Just so boring

Great vocals. I knew the opening track and that might be the only song I had ever heard. I wouldn't be against listening to this album again. The hype for Adele is too much... similar to Taylor Swift. Is it great or just overly hyped. I didn't cringe at anything on this album and will dive a beat deeper to know what the songs are about.

de facto, a dele é uma boa artista e o álbum está um bom álbum mesmo não sendo muito do meu gosto musical

The two 2010s albums from Adele are very good. Plenty of hit tracks and is certainly a well crafted record that's also very, very popular.

Adele – 25 (2015) ist das dritte Studioalbum der britischen Sängerin Adele. Die Aufnahmen entstanden zwischen 2013 und 2015 in mehreren Studios, darunter AIR Studios, British Grove, Metropolis Studios, Dean Street Studios, The Church (alle London) sowie Vox Studios und Glenwood Place Studios (Los Angeles) und MXM Studios (Stockholm). Musikalisch bewegt sich das Album im Spannungsfeld von Pop und Soul, mit klarer Betonung auf ruhigen, vokalgetragenen Stücken. Adeles Stimme steht fast durchgehend im Mittelpunkt, die Arrangements bleiben zurückhaltend und dienen vor allem der emotionalen Ausarbeitung der Texte. Zu den besonders bekannten und stilprägenden Songs zählen „Hello“, „When We Were Young“, „Send My Love (To Your New Lover)“, „Water Under the Bridge“ und „All I Ask“. Inhaltlich setzt sich 25 mit Rückblicken, Reifeprozessen und persönlichen Beziehungen auseinander. Im Vergleich zum Vorgänger wirkt das Album weniger dramatisch, dafür kontrollierter und reflektierter. Insgesamt ist 25 ein geschlossenes, konsequent umgesetztes Pop‑Soul‑Album, das auf Kontinuität statt Experimente setzt und Adeles Stärken klar ausspielt.

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.

Perfeito

She’s got a great voice and if piano ballads are your thing, this is for you. Unfortunately it’s not my thing and this album is not for me.

com a adele, não tem erro. a voz dela é linda e as letras são muito bonitas. já conhecia a maioria das músicas, mas nunca tinha parado para escutar ele completo e fico feliz por ter escutado as músicas em sequência. muito bom!

Genuinely one of the best albums ever created, and like the way she just manages to encapsulate every emotion into each of her songs, its just perfect.

Still a classic

Her albums are all good. This one has a few couple good songs

Decent modern pop record with Adele’s powerful, earnest voice.

Absolutely sensational in all aspects, great vocals and the thematic content is excellent. Masterpiece.

Classic tunesd

It was interesting for the first 1 min and 15 seconds. Who told the girl she sounds good when she adds volume to her voice? She doesn't 'sing' at high volume, she 'shouts' and forces here voice. There is a difference. Wikipedia describes her as a 'mezzo-soprano'; much laughter. Go and listen to some proper mezzos, Cecilia Bartoli, Ann Hallenberg, Adèle Charvet... Track 2. Why is she singing with a distinctly US accent? Apparently she's one of the 'world's best selling artists'. Fair enough. The Toyota Corolla is the world's best selling car. I have no desire to drive a Corolla. or listen to more of this generic, predictable pop. Included solely on the basis of sales? I can think of no other reason. Technically the recording clips quite badly. Hire a decent sound engineer while you're at it. I am sure she can afford it. 2/5

This was actually really enjoyable. I guess I was in the right mood today. And don’t worry, I know how much we all love Adele, but I do wonder which album of hers will really be The One that sticks historically. Today my bet is on this one.

I think the biggest hit on here is Hello, and really the song I heard the most in the wild from this album. However it is not at all the headliner for me when lined up to the rest of the songs. I was incredibly surprised by how good the other songs were on here that weren’t massive commercial hits. Just great vocals, great production, great pop.

It's classic Adele.

love

Mum used to play this CD in her car all the time. Forgotten how much I loved this album. Many many memories of long car drives flooding back. What a voice she has!

почти живая классика

obvious banger la queen a mangé et left no crumbs quoi grammy winning album ouais allez

Uhhhh... Ok. Prvi je bil itak hit takrat ("Hello"), kul komad, poje itak noro. Drugega tud poznam, ampak se ne spomnim a je bil single (bil, "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)"). Čist fletn, catchy. Ok, te k so bli singli so vsi catchy in dobri ("When We Were Young" in še "Water Under the Bridge"). "River Lea" mi je tud kul. Hm, ok. Morm rečt, da me je presenetil. Več mi je blo všeč, kokr sm mislila, da mi bo. Nekak sem šla v album prepričana, da bo vse kar ni blo single dolgočasno - ampak sploh ni.

Er mitt à milli hvort ég eigi að gefa henni 3 eða 4 því að adele er þrusu söngkona og sýnir það vel en mörg lögin eru ekkert sérstök og hálf óþjál textasmíð á köflum

Topparnir eru geggjaðir! Það koma samt lög hérna sem eru miðlungs. Solid fjarki, en get ekki splæst í fimmuna í þetta skipti.

Very strong vocals. Brings some talent back to pop music. Some very strong song writing by other artists.

Love Adele but this isn’t my favorite album of hers

Zu viel heulender Gesang

I prefer Adele’s earlier music, but this is still lovely.

She has such a strong powerful voice, and it was fun listening to an album that i've heard other stuff of of 6.5/10

Nunca la había escuchado. Realmente me parece todo muy bien hecho y su voz no me resulta desagradable como creía. Pero no me transmite nada, me parece música ambiente de calidad.

It is a pretty standard pop album. I like the "epic" sound that Adele has. Everything sounds grand. The later part of the album I liked more, the singles are good but I associate them with memes so it is hard to take seriously.

So like she was going through a divorce with this one yeah? Cause there is a lot of miss the old times songs. Makes me think of thousands of divorced moms just belting this album out in their cars on the way to get Starbucks. She has talent though. Her voice is beautiful I just feel that all the songs are alike. I'd like to see her do something wild and push it. I will listen to more of her stuff because of this album though.

The bottom line is that this album is just not as good as 21. If you want to listen to an Adele album, 21 is the one you should listen to, unless you are a major fan I guess. When We Were Young is kinda an all timer though.

white noise

hello

active gym listening - not right mindset. great for listening while playing spire or something tho :)

Adele is so good. All bangers. Lots of songs I already knew on this one, but a handful of new to me. River Lea was so good, adding to my rotation. I could listen to this album over and over. 8/10. favorites - Send My Love (To your new lover) - When we were young - River Lea Interesting wiki facts:

Remember liking this more when it came out. Still some standout songs though 2.75/5

her voice is so good

She is an EXCEPTIONAL singer, and there are a couple catchy songs on here, but this sort of 2010's pop just makes me nauseous. The production is tight and well-mixed, but so boring. Overall, actually kind of hard for me to listen to.

This album is already embedded in my subconscience

Was never super into her music but it's nostalgic to hear from growing up.

Love the music. The lyrics are a bit cringe for a 25 year old, but I'm able to overlook them and focus on the music.

Adele is an incredibly impressive vocalist. I enjoyed listening but probably won't listen again. Just not my go to sound

I never listened to Adele before, aside from "Hello," which was everywhere. I was very impressed. There are songs I'll listen to again. Maybe it just hit me at the right moment, or maybe there's something really there that the entire world figured out before I did.

Very solid album. Liked it better on the second listen

That voice! Somehow still underrated!

As incredible a singer Adele is, there is not much on her 3rd outing that hooks me in like its predecessor. It peaks on the first song and after that its all run of the mill.

I was already familiar with Hello from this album, but the entire album is great. Her voice is incredible, and the songs on here really showcase her talent well. This is not typically something I would choose to listen to, but I enjoyed this enough to add it to the rotation.

Lots of good hits on this one!

Classic album. 10/10

Not my vibe. A lot of the songs sound the same

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!

2.5 not for me

Fire

Musically nothing special, I suppose if you like her voice it's ok but for me it was just a showcase for a style of singing that does not appeal, with generic music and unoriginal songs.

Nice voice but the whole thing just feels like a checklist of "add drama" production cliches. And girl does not need more drama; this is her celebrating her 25th birthday by whining for an hour about "how mad I am at getting old" and her high school crushes not working out. Gotta wonder how she feels listening back ten years on, for an album about being old she's probably the thing thats aged the best.

Actually really nice. Kinda sad and wistful, good vocals and mainly piano backing, already knew a few

Full of banners. What a voice.

She got pipes

Very nice for somebody else

This album, for me, is her best. It makes me remember how much I love to sing! Production is kind of flawless - the recognition that Adele's voice pierces through really grand and dramatic production but performs equally well (if not better) with a stripped back and simple instrumental! I love it!!

Hello

Better than Coldplay

Comme je m'attendais: beaucoup de forçage de voix et beaucoup de pleurniche. Je vais être clément par contre, Send My Love est quand même un banger à ne pas piquer des hannetons

Elskeeer albumet her. Mamma hadde det på hele tiden da jeg var liten, hun elsket Adele.

7/10

I could just copy/paste my review for "21" here - boring!

Decent album

Fantastic album

This dude can sing

White women music (positive). I love you Adele, they will never make me hate you.

Amazing start to finish

Pleasant to the ear, but nothing mind-blowing

Great pop vocal album.

Stabil - 3.9

Surprisingly good.. Enjoyed it much more than I expected. Some really cool songs. Doesn't quite flow as a full record for me

this is adele at the peak of her powers, banger after banger, this is my joni mitchell!!!! period!!!!!

omg.................... this came at a time when i needed her the most....... i get intense flashbacks of lying on the ground crying listening to i miss you and all i ask in a loop........... no but why is this album so good? adele's voice always touches my heart and her lyrics are tooo relatable. love is too powerful

Having never listened to this I can say this album slaps. May become a 5/5 on further re listens.

This may have hit better at 27 than it did at 25. There are some skips so I’m giving it 3 stars

Perfect album.

Loved it

Just ok

Not really my type of music, but it's not bad and Adele has a great voice.

Fuck me. Another Adele album? There is absolutely no need for this corporate tested family friendly Asda special price muzak to be here. I;m sure it's big on tik tok with pictures of dog charities or kids looking miserable, but come on. This is just shit. Best Tracks: Hello; Send My Love (To Your New Lover); When We Were Young

Too much of a good thing is possible

#14 Can't help but think of the SNL skit when "Hello" came on 🤭 overall a monumental album for Adele

great

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

This was ten years ago now. Good Lord….. She has a great voice. She can whisper and she can belt. Her voice sits in a really nice range, as well. Gritty tone when she wants it. “Hello” doesn’t do it for me. “Send my love” sounds like someone else- ??? Oh god is it IMAGINE DRAGONS??? MIA? Or even worse- both? Argh. Maybe “Girls Chase Boys?” "I Miss You" has that weird, halting beat that sounds like it's off but it isn't - turns out to be a fine song. Then the album gets a bit gray and mushy for me - the middle of this record isn't bad just not particuarly memorable. Then - the last three songs things really picked up. I loved "All I Ask" and "Sweetest Devotion" especially. Not sure why they saved the best two songs or last but they did. "25" definitely feels like a sophomore slump album (yes - I know - it's her 3rd). You spend your whole life writing the songs for your first album (or two, in this case) and then - bam - you're out of ideas. And you make something - but it isn't *quite* as good as your previous efforts. It's fine, but it feels like there was a better album before this one.... THREE STARS

im so sorry adele, you seem like a nice lady, but i cannot take any of these songs seriously. theyre either so dull or just goofy.

Didn't listen not my thing

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.

Killer voice. This is my second album of hers, and it again feels like the age she claims to be on the album name is just a made-up number. The topic and musicality always seem like they should be coming from someone 10-20 years older. Having heard these only on the radio, the production on the album itself really comes across (credit to Apple lossless). Really enjoyed it, 4* Highlights: hello, send my love

- "girl with piano and a lot of reverb" is a whole genre, but Adele is arguably the queen - at one point, my three roommates in college were all playing this song at the same time while in their respective rooms, so my perspective going in was not positive. however, I enjoyed it more than I thought I would - as I'm not 25 anymore, the lyrics were a little melodramatic, but I'm sure I would have resonated with them in some way if I was more into dramatic pop music at the time (or now) - still, a solid effort that did seem to speak to a lot of people at the time. if the radio hadn't overplayed so many of these songs a decade ago, I might have called myself an almost-fan

Two British women revitalized vocal soul in the 21st century: Amy Winehouse and Adele. I appreciate their work of 'blue eyed' soul so much, following Aretha and Dusty. I can listen to this over and over. 5/5

It’s fine but mostly basic pop. Her voice is truly amazing but she refuses to be interesting with it

Franchement pas mal, belle voix mais ça m'a pas touché du tout

Pas mon style

Wow la voix de dingue
