I actually never head this (or any Adele album) before despite knowing "Rolling in the Deep", "Rumour Has It", and "Someone Like You" via their early 10s ubiquity. Overall, I think this is really good -- I think Adele is a great singer and I think the retro-modern style she employs on "Roliing in the Deep" and "Rumour Has It" is really cool. If I had one complaint about it (and Adele is far from the only singer guilty of this) is the sort of over-reliance on somber ballads. Still, there's some great stuff here and nothing really bad. Standouts for me are "Rolling in the Deep", "Rumour Has It", and "Don't You Remember" (which was cowritten by Dan "Closing Time" Wilson). 4 stars.
