Jun 29, 2011Lady Gaga promised us the album of the decade. Unfortunately, she fell a little short, because Adele already had it. The album isn't perfect. It could use a little diversity, but all in all, our twenty-one year-old heroine is well on her way to becoming the next soul queen, up there with Norah Jones, Aretha Franklin, and Amy Winehouse.

Sep 4, 20112 good songs! Someone Like You and Set Fire To The Rain. Nothing else is good! Rolling in the deep is kinda good. Besides that nothing!!!! Hope she makes a better 3rd album!
-
Oct 15, 2012It gave me mixed feelings while listening to it. Only 4 songs (Rolling In The Deep, Set Fire To The Rain, Someone Like You, Rumour Has It) make this album somehow interesting, the rest of them are so monotonous. I just cannot understand why it is so much overrated. OK, Adele is a good artist with a nice voice but this overexposure of her really makes me wonder why. An average job.
-
Aug 28, 2020Adele's 21 album is perfect. Aged so well and no matter when nor where, at least 1 person will sing with you Rollin in the deep.

May 25, 2011I loved the un-pretentiousness and softness of the album. Love it! Adele has a unique voice, but in a few songs she reminds me on P!nk - and that's not a bad thing!
-
Jul 14, 2015'21' will stand the test of time. Elegant, classy, passionate, melancholic, graceful, mournful and simplistic, '21' is one of the standout albums of the 21st Century.
I have no idea why this album has a score of only 76....or why people are giving it a score of less than 9.
It sold 30 million copies in an age of digital streaming.

Aug 16, 2023This is such an amazing album... no wonder this is the best selling album of the 21st centuries and the 2nd best selling album from a female artist.
-
Aug 8, 2011Crap. Chicks voice is cracking all over the place. Not a good singer. Don't waste your time, it's not worth it. Totally overrated, not seeing the fuss whatsoever

May 2, 2012Very bad album. Adele has a nice voice, but the lyrics and melody are suck. My mother make better lyrics than Adele and her producers...........................
-
Aug 14, 2011Adele never lets you down. You know, Adele gives you the "clean, high quality, polished" music feeling when you listen. Some songs are ear-worms, some are classics that won't be forgotten. And in this era full of bubbly-pop, Adele is like a refreshment.
-
Nov 14, 2011The albums sound a tad bit repeatitive, but listen to the lyrics and the vocal perfomance and you help to appreciate the album, my standout tracks are Someone Like You, Rolling IN The Deep, Rumor Has It, Turning Table, and the impressive vocal performance of Dont You Remember.
-
Dec 12, 2011One of the best albums of 2011, Great audio quality,mixing & production. I'm a metalhead and audio engineer, this is not really my style of music but it's still a great album with a great production. Haters gonna h8.
-
Nov 14, 2012Thesecond album of Adele reaffirms her fascinating talent, she has beat her skills, the album is better than the first, more mature, more sophisticated, more deep and hard. I love her.
-
Jan 31, 2016Ótimo disco dessa grande artista de potencial para chamar a atenção para o mundo inteiro sem a necessidade de usar seu corpo, polêmicas ou levantar bandeiras para conseguir agradar ao outros. Um disco para ouvir e emocionar.
-
Aug 25, 2016With every song being delivered with raw talent and emotion and material that is so good, there is not much more to say about this masterpiece of timeless pop.

Dec 19, 2014Best album of the decade.

Nov 28, 2015Sheer brilliance. Perfection. 21 is hands-down one of the best albums to come out in the last 20 years. Adele's flawless vocals bring to life an emotionally passionate piece of work with strong lyrics, great production, and an awing mystique.
-
Jul 23, 202021 is one of the best albums of 2011 and subsequently swept the Grammys. Adele proves she can do much more than we expected.
-
Nov 10, 2021With her second album "21", Adele did an impressive work. The songs are full of soul influences and her voice just sounds incredible. The songwriting is very good; deep and melancholic, but sometimes it's a little too "repetitive".
-
Nov 17, 2021Esse com certeza é o álbum da carreira, não tem uma música ruim, tudo nele é minuciosamente perfeito e aclamado por todos.
-
Nov 19, 2021Her best album so far. It's timeless and every song has the power to stand on its own
-
Jul 17, 2022Well no Doubt that this is the best Album of Adele right

May 6, 2023One of the best albums of all time with some of the best songs of all time on it. Adele will take you on an emotional rollercoaster but will also make you want to belt the songs out with her.

Jun 29, 2011This is a very boring album! it has 4 good songs! And when i hear the album i might fall asleep. It is not radio material, but the grammy voters eat albums like this up! In my opinion Born this way deserves album of the year but 21 is a good choice as well !

Jun 18, 2012This album is literally perfection. If you think so otherwise, please take a minute to listen to these songs while reading the lyrics, and understanding the musical arrangement.
-
Jun 25, 2012Overrated garbage. Adele can sing but this album is just awful ! the only song i liked was Rolling In The Deep which got annoying after radios overplaying it.
-
Apr 14, 2013Nothing good here at all. Personally, I don't like her voice. IT'S ALL ABOUT THE SAME THING. Rumor Has It is one of the worst songs I've EVER heard. Rolling In The Deep was alright, average at best. Just a screechy over-rated album.

Sep 14, 2014Adele shows her genius once more in a different way on the album 21. While it is extremely different than 19, Adele releases at least four songs that I consider brilliant (Rumor Has It, Someone Like You, Rolling in the Deep and Turning Tables), as well as what I feel is her best in Rumor Has It. The kind of sound you don't hear from anybody nowadays is present on 21.
-
May 1, 2015Definitivamente mi álbum favorito, todas las canciones tienen una gran calidad vocal, además de una lirica perfecta, me produce muchas emociones, no puedo esperar más por el regreso de Adele
-
Aug 23, 2019Inevitable no escuchar esta joya de la música. 21 nos deja mas que claro que después,de una despedida tan amarga, siempre hay vida después del amor.
-
Aug 28, 2020Simply an amazing album. I think this album introduced me to alternative years ago.
-
May 15, 2021A stunning album throughout. Well produced and well written. Rumour Has It 's bridge elevates it from a 9 to a 10.
-
Nov 16, 2021Solo una palabra puede describir este álbum: ARTE. Tiene lo necesario para destruir y volver a armar tu corazón.
-
May 28, 2023The storytelling in this album is just spectacular, most of the songs are really underrated but it doesn't make it less of an album because this is what you call a masterpiece.

Feb 24, 2011OK first off.. Amy and Duffy?? wth are you smoking..
This woman is in a class of her own and a truly rare talent.
I preordered her latest release and im blown away...It will leave you captivated and wanting more. -
Feb 23, 2011This has to be one of the best albums to come out in a few years!!! Adele is a true artist, someone who writes from her heart and soul! This whole album is perfect to listen to if you're going through a break-up! Just sit back and let those tears flow :) The production on this album is tight! I give it 8/10
-
Mar 13, 2011Adele has a talent that people wish they had. You can't help but fall in love with this album after you listen to it once. Adele is a true artist and you will not be disappointed purchasing 21.
-
Nov 27, 2011It's amazing. It's as simple as that. Her voice is so soulful and beautiful, it cannot NOT touch you in some way. The orchestration and the piano suit her perfectly.
Both her albums are absolute must-buys. -
Jan 15, 2012Without a doubt 21 is a masterpiece. The flowing integrity of the album is simply astounding, starts with the singers breakup, progresses to loneliness, and eventually accepts everything. Rarely does an artist spill their heart onto an album, and make it pleasurable for the listener, it includes up-beat meaningful tunes that pull on emotional cords, all combined with a magical voice.
-
Mar 31, 2012What a great album.Adele puts her heart and soul into this album.Great songs from Rolling in the Deep to Rumour Has It this is something to hear.21 is a album that you will love.Adele is a amazing singer.This is something you will enjoy and worth your money.
-
May 19, 2012No amount of classy stylish production can hide the power and stunning beauty of the voice here. What a fabulous collection of songs. Even the cover version of the great Cure track is great!
-
Jul 21, 2012Simply amazing the album tells a tale of lost love which is what everybody has felt one time or another the album is master class and from a singer whose voice is so memorising. One of the best albums of all time!

-
Apr 15, 2015This has been a family favorite for 5 years now. Almost always when we drive somewhere our son insist that we listen to "number 5" (Fire to the Rain) or "number 1" (Rolling in the Deep). Those songs have been playing hundreds of times. We just wish there would soon be a new album. :D

Jun 14, 2011Hearing a voice that grows scratchy and threatens to break and has not been tampered with, has not been slicked over in a studio, a voice that reveals all that can be found within a person and also seems to hold something back, to suggest another truth just behind the veil.
