Beautiful voice, catchy songs, but something missing - I think mainly playfulness - that makes it quite a bland listen. Mixing is technically good, but probably so good that it's bad. Like pre-digested food. I wanted to like this album more than I actually did. Fav: Love In The Dark - quite dramatic, true to what Adele is and what people like about her. It feels full without being busy.
