    Even though Adele has left the teenage image behind, embracing a new level of the same concept, 21's catchy singles overshine other very good songs, emphasizing a poorly distributed climax throughout the album (which also gives one the possibility of cutting the album in half without affecting its quality) and enhancing the expectations over the singer for a killer third album.

    Um what there was without a doubt too much hype over this album it was mediocre at best it is truly overplayed and over hyped and one of those albums not to listen to even if people say otherwise.

    The album is great, lyrically speaking, but instrumentally speaking, the sound isn't so marvelous listening track by track. My favs are the singles, "Rumour has it" and "Turning tables".

    This 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

    '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.

    Adele 's 21 was my first album I ever bought and it is the best choice I ever made. Adele 's 21 for me is the best album in history. Her album sold over 31 million copies and was certified Diamond. This album is a collection of song that are some of the most beautiful songs ever. Everything Adele releases is just amazing.

    From this album we can highlight the great writing skills of Adele which we can see reflected in the use of poetic metaphors, the magnificent production that sounds like a majestic symphony and the vocal performance of Adkins. However, despite the above, it is a flat, boring and uninnovative album that makes it overrated and monotonous.

    Despite being a good album, it's way too overrated. There were better albums back in 2011 talking about acceptance and compassion but the Grammy's thought it would be a good idea to give a heartbreak album 6 awards because it went viral.

    Hearing 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. Here's hoping that if Adele ever finds true love, she doesn't lose her ability to so convincingly channel heartbreak.

    Overall, «21» shows that Adele is towering in the same landscape where some of her contemporaries have lost all their bearings. Her husky, powerful voice is what keeps you listening, but here's hoping she experiences something besides betrayal before writing her next record.

    Adele's 21 is absolutely one of the best albums of all time.
    The album spawned one of the world's best known, and most loved songs in 'Someone Like You'.

    8/10 - "21 is simply stunning. After only a handful of plays, it feels like you've always known it" - BBC Music

    Writing a review 4 years later. My initial verdict for this album was a 7, but it's risen to an 8. This is actually a good album and it only gets better with time. Adele is a once-in-generation star and I am proud to have actually witnessed her rise in my lifetime. Though i think 25 is better, this was and still is a hell of an album. Congrats Adele, you deserve it all.

    21 is a nice record. It has a few very deep cutting songs but a lot of filler on top of that. This was the peak of Adele's work it is by far her best album because it was so monumental. Most of the singles became #1s and the album sold like hotcakes but other than that it's a pleasant album.

    This album is a masterpiece. The way she is telling a story about her heart breaking is truly amazing, you can feel her pain in every track. Taking a step away from her roots, 21 is far from a soul album, but still she managed to create something spectacular.

    "Rolling in the Deep" is not the best track on the album. It's little over rated. "Rumour Has It" is a wonderful track, especially the bridge part. "Love Song" and "Don't You Remember" are essentially one of the best moments in the album.
    "Take It All" is my personal favourite. Can't express it in words. The perfect music, composition, choir, vocals; everything is just wonderful in this song. And then the comes the best part of the album, the closing track "Someone Like You", the best Adele song of all time.
    In this way Adele "sets fire to the rain"
    Adele's got a talented team. The production is not repetitive. It's so mucical and refreshing.

    Wow. I am speechless. I went into listening to 21 with high expectations because 19 was such a good album, but Adele takes things to a whole new level in 21. 19 was more of an acoustic album where songs sounded kind of similar, but this is not the case in 21. Adele gives her music a “poppier” spin in this album, and this change has great results. Before officially reviewing it, I had heard Rolling in the Deep and loved it, so I was excited to listen to the other songs here. I was super surprised with the quality of music that this album contained, with pretty much all of the songs having emotionally charged lyrics paired with great music. Piano was the main instrument used here, and sounds similar to the style that the acoustic guitar and piano had in 19, which retains Adele’s style, if it sounds a little different. There is so much more I could say about this album because I loved it so much. All fans of fantastic music should listen to 21, as it is the best album I have reviewed to date (out of 87) and I would consider it a must-listen. Highlights: Rolling in the Deep, Rumour Has It, Turning Tables, Set Fire to the Rain, He Won’t Go, Take It All, I’ll Be Waiting, One And Only, Lovesong, and Someone Like You.    … Expand

The classics stacked in this record are unimaginable from the precarious "turning table " that takes great steps to confront an inconsistent love or the critique of low effort lovers in "take it all". The influence if Amy Winehouse and Julie Holiday are on her sleeve.

    What makes this an outstanding heartbreak record is how considerate it is even in angrier moments like "rumour has it", it's a fair narration of people wrong for each other dissolving their love . The one of many highlights "set fire to the rain" despite being an unexpected chart topper is also a skilful adress of the blameless lover who'd never be accountable for anything. "Someone Like You " is a wise goodbye to someone who might've hurt you but you'll always love closing a juggernaut off elegantly.    … Expand

    El mejor trabajo de Adele hasta hoy. 9 canciones de 11 tienen potencial para ser single (en mi opinión). Lo único que sigue dejandome un poco que desear son las visuales y el concepto. Tanto en los videos musicales de los singles como en el arte del disco van muy acartonados y sin un trasfondo. Cuando lo mejore tendrá mi diez

    Es más que el álbum de los "corazones rotos", es la demostración definitva del poder vocal y lírico de una gran artista. Es uno de los mejores álbumes del siglo, sin duda. En cada track del álbum uno se encuentra una nueva propuesta, si bien la mayoría son baladas, cada una está lo suficientemente bien producida e interpretada para no caer en la monotonía auditiva.

    One 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.

    Hearing 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.

    On her sophomore album, 21, Adele channels real emotion and blasts through sincere ballads and angry rockers with few missteps.
