    É um álbum bom, mas não é o melhor de Adele. Tem seu hit histórico "Hello" que quebrou recordes que até hoje não foram batidos.

    25 proves not only to be a smashing album on the charts, but also a sonically and lyrically powerful album. Adele proves without much effort that she's a respectable A-list. And here it is fitting to exalt his splendid and complete voice.

    For the longest while, I have wanted to listen to 25 because I loved 21 so much, as it had lyric quality across the board in a way that I had never heard before. As a result, it earned the highest score that I have ever given an album. It was certainly a very hard act to follow, yet somehow 25 is just as good, if not better, in some ways. I enjoyed the actual music a lot more in this album over its predecessor, as Adele expands her music to primarily piano-based to more poppy things while still staying true to her roots, and I thought this new sound worked extremely well. Plus, the lyrics are on par with her previous outing. Love In The Dark especially had unbelievable lyrics. I’m still kind of blown away by this as a whole. It joins the seven other albums (out of over 130) to earn a score of a ten and this rank is well earned. The work begins with Hello, and I greatly appreciated all of the lyrics, but especially the opening line. I enjoyed the piano and I thought it was brilliant how it got progressively bigger. The background vocals were also a nice touch. Send My Love’s cue-in was a wonderful way to start the song, and it was great to hear Adele start off the song with guitar, as she usually does with piano. As a result, this sounded new and different and I liked the beat it created. Powerful lyrics added to the song’s quality. I Miss You was another great song. The use of organ was new, as was the brilliant use of toms. The lyrics were grappling and the organ solo within the breaks was great. The song sounded different from her other stuff, which was wonderful. The song was almost 6 minutes in length, but somehow it didn’t feel like that. As I listened to the song, I realized that this was going to be another very high-quality album. The bass was legitimately awesome in When We Were Young and its lyrics were powerful, overflowing with emotion. The subtle introduction of the titular line was great and I dug the cool chord near end of the chorus. The introduction of drums and the stripped final chorus were highlights. Remedy’s piano opening was great (and later the piano solo and drop-outs!), and I love the song’s uplifting message. I loved the way Water Under The Bridge sounded, and, paired with captivating lyrics, this song worked extremely well. The background vocals were awesome and the e-guitars were wonderful. The clap track in the bridge was pretty cool too. The background vocals and organ made a great team in the opener of River Lea, though the fuller, developed part of song was great. The song made me want to know more about the river’s story. The lyrics were a bit repetitive, though I liked the loud bass and background vocals-only ending. Love In The Dark was perhaps the most powerful song on the album. The strings and piano were probably the best choice for the song musically. The lyrics were extremely well done with lots of emotion and power evident. The pizzicato strings were a good addition. I honestly don’t know how Adele can write lyrics that are this powerful. The strings solo was another musical highlight. The guitar was great in Million Years Ago and theunique chord progressions were cool. The panned humming and guitar were great additions. The lyrics were really good and powerful in this song as well. The piano in All I Ask was pretty nice, a bit refreshing to have a simpler song musically. The lyrics were sung emotionally, which was a plus. I loved the use of lower notes on the piano during the bridge and the key change was outstanding. Sweetest Devotion was a great choice to end the album on. The child voice intro/ending was cool, and I just really liked the way the intro was put together. The loud bass was great and I loved the way the music sounded when everything was full. The song’s upbeatness and riffing e-guitar is epic, and it was kinda fun how the bass drops out at times, covered by the low piano. Overall, I was exceedingly pleased by Adele’s final album, 25. The music was surprisingly upbeat and poppy by her previous standards, and the lyric writing was top-notch. I simply do not understand how she can think of lyrics that are this powerful. 25 is one of the best albums I have ever listened to and I highly recommend it to all lovers of really good music. Adele definitely deserves all the acclaim she has received for her work. It is rumored right now that she is working on a next album that she will drop soon, and since 21 and 25 were two of the best albums I have listened to, I am so excited for it to be released. Highlights: Hello, Send My Love, I Miss You, When We Were Young, Remedy, Water Under The Bridge, Love In The Dark, Million Years Ago, and Sweetest Devotion.

    Adele is frequently compared to some of the greats, the late Amy Winehouse being one. Amy's musicality, lyricism and especially her voice grew into their own with the release of her timeless Back to Black record, leaving the United Kingdom eager to crank out a 60s-inspired soul revival. Adele's is undoubtedly one of the strongest voices of her mainstream pop generation, up there with Beyoncé's and Ariana's. Adele skyrocketed into the mainstream with her single "Rolling in the Deep," which is now rightfully placed on many a greatest songs of all time list. but nothing else in Adele's catalogue has anything even close to the robustness that RitD possesses.
    25 has a few standouts, such as the striking, sultry, Beyoncé 4-era slow jam I Miss You and the glittering, emotive ballad Remedy, which plays a lot like a better version of Adele's own Turning Tables.
    if Adele went into a more cinematic direction in the vein of the fierceness of I Miss You, maybe this record would stand out more in the current pop landscape. alas, the rest of this album gets gloopy and too over-sentimental. the blues edge of 19 is nowhere to be found and the soul power of 21 is quickly dulling. I know Adele has immense vocal talent, and some pretty good songwriting chops, but she is an artist who truly needs time to translate her strength into her lyrics, instead of rushing an entire era whose first two singles possess nearly identical structures and instrumentations. I hope her next album is more diverse and inventive, and I hope its far more meaningful.

    Vocals, Lyrics, Instrumentations and Production - right on the mark.. Every time Adele makes real music fulled with true feelings. And doesnt matter that most of her songs are sad, she's extremly good in this, Each record is uniqe, every single ballad sounds different. As in her visual imidge, Adele doesn't chasing goal "to be actual only in 2015, to be in trend", she makes timeless music.

    A nicely deep and elegantly soothing album. The production and mixing here is just masterwork, mostly because it perfectly compliments the voice of Adele Adkins. The variety in the songs (musically, not lyrically) and resulting track listing are great as well.

It took me a while to understand what she was saying but I understood that she wants to take her fans on a journey and so she did with more understandable language (after all, is pop culture). I had to magnify my vision about Adele that she can put a variety of genres in herself, as a musician. 25 is a "make-up" album, is different of 19 and 21, that were break-up albuns It's a really difficult thing to talk about yourself and yourself when you're not exactly sad, like in 19, so 25 is about how she is doing with her life now that she "has it all". For the concept, is a really good album. About the songs, I missed I little lyrism from River Lea, and, sorry, I just hated Send My Love (To Your New Lover).My prize of best song is going to Water Under the Bridge, because she attended to the concept of herself and the pop genre and got the real power of her voice for the type of music.

Very similar in style and mood to "21", "25" is full of "lighter in the air" moments, decently written ballads that are suped up and produced to sound epic and anthemic. The production is extremely strong on the record and really is what steals the show and makes the album as good as it sounds, putting Adele's amazing voice at the front of everything. There are undoubtedly some great tracks on show here but I would wonder how well some of the "filler" tracks would hold up without the production work in the studio. The songwriting is occasionally thin but beefed up by the studio work. Having said this, there are no bad songs on the album and when it's good your talking about songs that burrow deep into your mind. Like "21", it's the singles from "25" that are the highlights of the album. Expand

She is not the only artist in the world, for God's sake, people don't give anybody else a chance, they only buy Adele's album and all the rest of the artists almost feel embarrassed. Music don't have to be all gloomy. Couple of not completely sleeper tunes there but her creativity for music is so low. Like why would so many people have the same lame taste? People think only Adele's ballads are the only real music that's worth buying, at least is not the same case with her singles. I know the Grammy are ready to kiss her ass anyways. Her comeback was so ridiculously aggrandized, sometimes I appreciate her but also sometimes I get bored of her. Sometimes I want her to beat other songs, sometimes I would like other songs to beat hers. But at least is not complete trash that I can't stand, but the album as a whole is not a great outstanding work overall. Yeah, too boring. Expand

It seems that no song could overcome the inmortal "Someone Like You" and the raving amazing bluesy tone of "Rolling In The Deep". But the most regrettable thing is that Adele hid her soul in 25. Southern blues influence is not anymore. I can't even imagine that Adele's inspirations were Madonna and Taylor Swift for 25. Whaaat was that??.

    Singles "Hello" and "When We Were Young" remain highlights on the record, but aforementioned tracks like "Send My Love (To Your New Lover)," "I Miss You" and "Water Under the Bridge," not to mention "River Lea," hear Adele taking a welcome detour from the orchestral piano-pop formula and moving towards more interesting, groove-driven patterns.

    Throughout these towering production flourishes, Adele's vocals cast an even vaster shadow: swooping, swerving, blaring brassily and cooing tenderly, a full orchestra unto itself that's theatrical, unpredictable, and dynamic.

    The songs are not so much about love as the memory of love and, accordingly, there's a chasm between her aggressive vocal runs and the cautiously generalist lyrics, especially on the maudlin latter half.
