Aug 25, 2014Even 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.

Jan 24, 2016Um 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.

Oct 4, 2014The 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".

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

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.
'21' -
Nov 10, 2015É incrível, assim como o 19. Ela conseguiu ser fantástica nos dois. Vocais e músicas lindas, bem produzido... Maravilhoso! Um dos meus álbuns preferidos, com certeza.

Nov 24, 2016Adele '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.

Jan 29, 2018Although Adele is overpraised (*cough* The Grammys *cough), and overplayed, there are some great songs on this thing.
-
Feb 23, 2018From 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.
-
Feb 2, 2018Despite 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.

Sep 9, 2020Hearing 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.

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.

Aug 28, 2020Simply an amazing album. I think this album introduced me to alternative years ago.

Apr 8, 2021eu não tenho nem palavras para expressar o quão perspicaz e artista a nossa queria Adele foi aqui, sua melodia nesse album é milagrosa e majestosa, com letras de sofrimento e profundas que faz a gente compreender ela perfeitamente a sua dor, sem falar o sucesso estrondoso e merecido esse álbum teve.

Nov 18, 2021Overall, «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.

Nov 19, 2021Adele'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'.
Adele once again hits the sweet spot with this record. Amazing. -
Feb 27, 20168/10 - "21 is simply stunning. After only a handful of plays, it feels like you've always known it" - BBC Music
A little bit monotonous in places but if you've ever had your heart broken then you really need this album. -
Nov 21, 2015Writing 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.

Aug 20, 2018Aquí la muestra de que el talento vende sin necesidad de imagen ridícula y asquerosa como cierta payasa que gracias a que llegó este disco empezó su decadencia, como me alegró que esa payasa se quedara sentada mientras este precioso y emocional material se convirtió en el ganador de la noche y en el más vendido de la década

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.

Nov 11, 201721 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.
