    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As palavras se embaralham e não conseguem se encaixar para a penas me dar um adjetivo para este álbum. Em toda minha vida, até o momento, nunca vi algo tão sentimental. Nesta obra ela canta lágrimas, amor, ressentimento e a dor de um casamento que não vingou. Mas também encontramos uma Adele diferente, com mais força e determinação. Sem medo de colocar seu amor próprio em primeiro lugar e acima de qualquer coisa, mesmo que isso tivesse consequências. Áudios chorando, áudios do seu filho Angelo… é algo tão íntimo, é algo tão delicado. Arte, você pode ouvir arte?… Expand

    30 is the most candid we've seen Adele. Its lifting vocals, deep lyrics and soothing voice reveal to the world why she's a true pop star.

    Adele 30, the best combination of different rhythms and genres, is Adele's best album so far, as her deep and explosive voice has an outstanding change from her previous discographies. A long wait that was worth it.

Growing up, I have fond memories of listening to Adele’s music through Pandora with my family when we went on road trips to visit my grandparents. Her music has always been like a comforting hug to me. Although I don’t think I relate to most of her music, as I have never been in a relationship or had any sort of heart break, she always has been capable of making me feel like I went through those things. That being said, this album was a shock. There were so many new elements in this album that I’d never heard from Adele before. “All Night Parking” was so different, but I really enjoyed it. I love the production on this album. I think this is the best that Adele has sounded vocally, like “To Be Loved” shocked me, so much emotion and impressive vocal. I love all of Adele’s albums, but I don’t think she has has ever sounded as free as she did on this album. I appreciate it so much because although this is a very sad and heavy album, it sounds like she had a lot of fun with it. Themes of sadness, self reflection, and hope really stood out to me when listening. I never doubted her, but she delivered another classic album. Well done, thank you.… Expand

    Definetely, this album is Adele's the most personal, emotional, destructive but at the same time relieving. We, as listeners, see what things adele had to go through, and what kind of pain she experinced for 6 years. I loved every single music in "30" but these ones are absolutely my faves; Oh My God, Can I Get It, Hold on, To be loved... finally i wanna say "divorce babe divorce!"

I struggled with 2 major things: I felt like several songs were unnecessarily long and the style she played with did not suit the nature and cadence of her voice.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. 30 - the perfect private date with Adele.

    Like all of her previous albums, 30 is an artistic memoir of Adele in her life journey. However, after 6 years of waiting, her life story right now seems no longer aligned with everyone’s. The theme “divorce” here may well be only for ones who would like to find a corner to sit down, and heal.

    Thus, it would be a lame comparison to set 30, 25, 21, 19 in a family because 30 is clearly an outlier. This is a time when she finally transforms from a blockbuster maker into a creator of a whole new world.

    The arrangement of this album is apparent. Everything starts with an invitation of strange, something old, and something hurts. “Strangers by nature” is weird and pleasant at the same time, as if Adele opens the door to welcome our curiosity. The cinematic vibe is her main theme of this album, and it is revealed at the very first note without any hesitation. “Easy on me” is her old classic warm tea to comfort those who feels strange of whatever coming up next. The bravest moment goes to “My little love”, when she lets her most private sharing of her love and wound naked to the world. “I’m so far gone and you're the only one who can save me.” Not many people who can appreciate this sacred moment. But that doesn’t take any value from this precious song.

    The next part is a dynamic time for bass and drum. The 3 songs might get offended those who are thirsty for Adele’s “old good days”. “Cry your heart out” is a big lie where her senses of humour and big wide laugh shines over the anticipated sadness and tears. “Oh my god” fully lives as its name. But “Can I get it” deserves the spot line because it introduces many layers of surprises.

    “I drink wine” perfectly fits it own role of opening the bridging part of the album. With “Easy on me”, they are the only 2 songs that relates the most to the classic Adele. If “Chasing Pavement”, “Someone like you” and “Hello” leave at least one memorable and iconic lines, “I drink wine” is pouring them in the whole lyrics. Well-appraised should also goes to her conveyance, for the first time ever, we could enjoy the grace of drinking when we are wide awake.

    The bridging part continues with the two chilling songs: “All night parking”, and “Women like me”. If there should be a flaw of them, it should be the length. We can linger those two for the whole night, and I’m not kidding at all.

    The treasure for those who are able to embrace belongs to the next two songs. “Hold on” is a kind hand for anyone who is stuck in in the dark and see no hope of light around, while “To be loved” offers the big room enough for Adele to fully spread her wings and expose her beautiful gift as a true vocalist.

    The whole album ends with “Love is the game”, her best ending so far. It is the scene where the audience would like to linger the moment and come back to this movie sometimes again.

    Of course, it is too soon giving any prejudice about the this album. Music is to feel with an open heart and fits only to those who is in need. With 30, Adele has nicely completed her new story. It doesn’t matter if this is another blockbuster or all-kill awards as what she’s already done, or even a disappointed for different expectations. This is truly beautiful and truly a warm corner for those like me to sit down and enjoy.

    Just remember her music never the one to please anyone, but to heal the souls whose is in need.    … Expand

    While Adele has changed her sound a little this time around, it gets tiring after a while to listen to the same heartbreak songs and sadness three albums in a row.

O álbum 30 pode parecer outro álbum da Adele sobre decepção amorosa, dessa vez um divórcio, mas a experiência é muito mais imersiva que um simples divórcio.

    By far the best album released this decade thus far, and perhaps Adele's best work to date. Compelling and poignant lyricism, rich instrumentation, and incredible vocals throughout. Adele explores a wide range of themes and sounds in this album, to such an extent that its hour-long duration flies by and you find yourself pressing repeat faster than you realize.

    Adele's served vocals in this album. 30 is by far Adele's most personal album, and a piece of true art. The overall sound and production is just amazing. It was totally worth the wait.

    Album of the year! I love how she worked in this proyect, it just feels that you need tolisten to all the album to understand the progression of every track. There is a story behind and it's incredible the delivering in every song.

    O álbum só tem apenas três músicas que realmente envolvem a narrativa é boa mais é um álbum cansativo ao ponto de ser chato demais de ouvi-lo todo.

    The album is not bad, but it is not her best album. I was getting quite bored with a number of songs. I love Easy on Me, I Drink Wine, and Oh My God.

    Exactly six years after "25", Adele returns with her fourth chapter "30". Six years of change. Six years of maturing. Guided by her emotions, "30" is about one thing above all: divorce. And Adele is bold enough to share it all so vulnerable and touching. Probably Adele's toughest and most powerful album to date. With outstanding vocal performance and versatile pop and soul.

    Even though songs like "Can I Get It" or "I Drink Wine" seem discordant and you miss an "Adele classic" like "Rolling in the Deep" or "Someone Like You", "30" is a well-considered progression and after six years of silence, Adele is back. 8 out of 10.

    My favorites:
    "Easy on Me"
    "Oh My God"
    "My Little Love"
    "All Night Parking"

    Adele never disappointed me when listening to 30. This highly anticipated album is pleasing, and you'll never stop listening to this album. This album makes me dance and boosts my happiness. The songs are very classic and have a sassy melody. Her cover album, by the way, is beautiful. In my opinion, this is her best album so far.

    One can't profess and exaggerate enough the greatness of this sheer work of beauty. Every song that Adele Laurie Blue Adkins has made, written, and sung on this album is absolutely beautiful, meaningful, and brilliant.
    The lyrics have always been on point for Adele, and she continues that by opening the album with what can only be the most dramatic line for any album opener,

    The lyrics have always been on point for Adele, and she continues that by opening the album with what can only be the most dramatic line for any album opener,
    "I'll be taking flowers to the cemetery of my heart"
    She explores, and experiments in this album, and anyone saying she hasn't changed her style and genre hasn't paid attention to the album as she goes from pop, near-country, R&B influence to Jazz, Soul, Blue-eyed soul, and what not.
    The album sounds like a literal movie, as you can feel the change as she introduces her story, and talks about her divorce in the lead single, followed how it affected her child and how she wanted forgiveness from him for the divorce, gradually to crying all night, but then gathering the courage to date again, only to be met by someone who doesn't appreciate her enough.

    In the last three songs of the album, 'Hold On', 'To Be Loved', and 'Love Is A Game', Adele created perhaps the most legendary trio in all of music history.
    Hold On is literally about holding on, about accepting your miserable position in life but then knowing that great things are still to come. To Be Loved is perhaps the best vocal performance from any artist in a long, long time. To Be Loved is an absolute masterpiece that can tear up the hardest of people. Love Is A Game, a cinematic, orchestral, outro to an album is a cushioning on the emotional effects of To Be Loved, but is in itself, an extremely beautiful outro, perhaps the best outro, as its intro, in recent music history.

    30, as an album, is not just that, an album, but also a phenomenon, a whole movie causing a myriad of emotions inside you. Adele has never sounded better, and though it's her Divorce Album, and it will surely be followed by a happy album, 30 is, frankly, in all its senses, magnificent.    … Expand

    Adele is a great singer and writer, but... my problem with this album is that I find it "overrated". It can be said that the musical evolution is not only in lyrics but also in rhythms, and I think I've heard similarities in terms of sounds in their latest works. I'm sorry but this album leaves me unsatisfied, I expected something different.

Hoje digo sem preocupação que esse é seu melhor disco, a maturidade que ela nos mostra ao longo do álbum é linda de se ver, composições tão cruas que fazem qualquer um se identificar, é justamente isso que mais valorizo nela. Essa obra merece todo reconhecimento. Adele sempre nossa rainha.

    Ok, so I might actually do a full review on this because this is, if you take away a few duds in the tracklist, Adele at her absolute best. Like, some of the more neo-soul and trad-pop influenced tracks on here absolutely blew me away. Adele's pengame has gotten much better since 25 as well.

    Adele's 30 Is Her Emotionally Rawest, Riskiest and Best Record yet. It’s so upfront and honest. It’s the best she's ever sounded and the best she has ever written. I’ve listened to the album in full many times now, and I really like the order of songs, this album seems to be the less typical Adele-sounding tracks we have heard before, she’s experienced with new sounds and genres.

    Despite her albums being snapshots, sometimes a little more diversity in subject matter would be a good thing. Ultimately, while some intriguing risks have been taken, 30 is probably the weakest, as well as conversely the most intimate and in many ways bravest, Adele album to date.

    There are no glaring missteps, and it’s generally a very good effort from a singer who could have crumbled under the pressure of heightened expectations, but instead continues on the path she forged for herself.
