    She gave us what some artists always try when they say they're releasing a dark album. My Little Love, I Drink Wine and Woman Like Me are the highlights.

Adele toca profundamente todo seu sentimentalismo de uma relação sem continuidade e um amor acabado, sem volta para o passado, expressando muito bem em cada sonoridade de cada música presente nesse álbum, um divórcio doloroso, uma voz encantadora, um trabalho perfeito.… Expand

    Jujur saja saya menikmati setiap lagu dan pergantian topik dari lagu ke lagu di album ini. Semakin berganti lagu, emosinya pun semakin dalam, puncaknya ada di lagu 'To Be Loved', dan dillepaskan dengan lagu 'Love Is A Game'.

    Buat saya, lirik di bagian verse yang panjang justru membangun emosi di setiap lagu. Memang, pada awalnya saya berpikir sedikit bosan, karena selama ini selalu mendengarkan lagu-lagu yang versenya pendek. Tapi, pemikiran ini justru berubah setelah sehari kemudian saya selalu terngiang nada-nada di album ini.

    Enam tahun tidak sia-sia. Diberi oleh Adele dengan lagu yang rata-rata memilliki durasi selama 6 menit! BRAVO!    … Expand

    I don't know if it's her best album to date, but it is brilliant and definitely much better than 25, too bad my favorite track "wild wild west", is not included in the main version of the album.

    30 is a very personal album and the way Adele takes you with her in her journey is marvelous. Her story telling is second to none and the writing is still impactful than ever. Adele's vocals are strong as at any point in her career and she takes risk in this album that are more than welcome and she does it wonderfully. Easily, album of the year.

    Adele made a diary, of herself and to herself. The album is so personal that it gets very hard do connect with it. Besides, the songs lack criativity and appeal, turning boring somehow.

As expectativas para o novo álbum foram muito altas e em todos os sentidos a cantora Adele cumpriu as expectativas dos fãs e dos consumidores da sua arte.
    O álbum contempla um período turbulento na vida da cantora, o divórcio com seu ex-marido Simon Konecki e o crescimento de seu filho Angelo, no meio da história. 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.
    Adele nos conta o âmago do seu sofrimento, a solidão de uma mulher perdida em seu casamento, não muito triste e não tão feliz, empurrando com a barriga a comodidade da sua rotina, em prol de dar ao filho a família nuclear que nunca teve. Adele rompeu um casamento e se conheceu mais, foi ótimo mergulhar um pouco nos sentimentos mais profundos da cantora, ela nos mostrou como é lindo ser intenso e sagaz.    … Expand

    It is definitely one of her best albums, but at certain points it feels like some of the songs are little too long and stretched out to 5-6+ minutes. The overall content, lyrics, vocals, and instrumentation is phenomenal! This also has got to be one of her most vulnerable albums lyrically and vocally.

    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. It's sad that she doesn't challange herself to write about other themes and topics, I mean the world just has a pandemic, and here we are again, singing about failed relationships.

    30 is so vulnerable that, I felt everything Adele sang about, something that hardly happens to me, especially with albums. My best tracks are To Be Loved, it is so deep that I saw my self hugging myself after the first listen. I’m glad she is not in that state of mind at the moment, I’m happy for her.

    She caves into the clamour of her music critics and attempts a few upbeat tracks with somewhat reggae and country influence. It's distinct, and it's where the album feels nadiral. But don't get me wrong, experimenting with her sound was a brave and respectable choice. This is a solid record, and the songs sound like they're gonna stick for quite a while.    … Expand

    Adele is one of the most important artists on the planet, and 30 is proof of that. Her lyrics are so raw, the production is also elegant and beautiful and it seems to be a movie from the 70s.
    It is a testament to how bad it can be, the recovery process, and such varied feelings.
    Thanks Adele for so much.

    "Strangers by Nature" tries to be this orchestral and cinematic opener, like "Chromatica I" by Lady Gaga or "shut up" by Ariana Grande, however goes plain boring, even though it has many cool instruments in it. "Easy on Me" is more interesting, with its piano build-ups and beautiful Adele vocals. "My Little Love" is really likeable with its subdued production and subtle guitar in back."Strangers by Nature" tries to be this orchestral and cinematic opener, like "Chromatica I" by Lady Gaga or "shut up" by Ariana Grande, however goes plain boring, even though it has many cool instruments in it.

When the chorus picks up, the Adele's voice becames the centre of the universe for this time. Shame that it ends on such streatched-out spoken-word outro. I mean, the instrumentation is great, but it is too long for my taste.
    Next two ones rounds around high alteration of Adele's voice. "Cry Your Heart Out" starts with it and its chorus are full of it, but it picks up later to be really engaging listening experience. "Oh My God" is sucha groovy song, with even better use of vocal pitch. And those high notes in background. Gorgeous! Begining with guitar riff, we have next entry of that cool songs string with "Can I Get It". However, just like "Cry Your Heart Out", here is another let-down: the song's verses are amazing, but instead of booming chorus you have a slowdown with some whispers. Plus, the production sounds like something done by P!nk last decade. Going back to more piano-oriented sounds, we have "I Drink Wine". Sounds like happier "Easy on Me" to me.
    On "All Night Parking" we can here different approach to the instruments than on other tracks, that includes Adele's vocals. Cool track! The following track, "Woman Like Me", is pretty dope background music. Subtle instrumental and not-to-the-top vocals. "Hold On" first section, which is featured later in the mix, sounds like a demo of the song, not something finished. The song fails to hold on my attention for the first half, and turns out to be a boring elevator music which happens to have a cool second half. Another "Happier Than Ever" situation I assume. "To Be Loved" is actually a boring shlock of music. Just like an album opener, the closer, "Love is a Game" tries to be cinematic with the opening string notes. It goes better, hence the song features more lush instrumentation and different tone. And it doesn't only goes into cinematic direction, it is also a mix of Christmas and 80s sounds.
    Album seems to be classical with some modern touches. I'm not a fan of such music, but still this album prooved me, that kind of music can be not boring. The biggest let-downs of this album are too long tracks and too much spoken words spread throught it. (And maybe too much classical arrangment?) "Easy on Me", "Oh My God" and "All Night Parking" are definitely my favorites.    … Expand

    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

    Definitely, Adele's best album to date. An album that shows maturity, vulnerability, and a mother's love while going through "divorce, babe, divorce"

    Maybe it's more 9 than 10, but i just love Adele's voice so let it be that way. And gurl, 6 minute song feels here like 1 minute, i suppose it speaks for itself.

    30 is really one of those albums that connects to the deepest depths of your inner soul. It's haunting in a sense that it makes you feel you're the one experiencing what she's experienced. It's heartbreaking, but gives a lot of hope. A celebration of loving, finding your inner-self and just Adele being a gift to the human race. Absolutely Album of the Year for 2021. No competition.

    I am very disappointed! I really wanted this album to blow me out of the water. 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.

    one of the best records this year. powerful & organic with so much depth as she explores & shares her feelings & past experiences in a manner that the listener can as well in parallel reflect, resonate & relate to. credit to the diverse sounds in the project too. thank you Adele for this one. easily strikes & captures the soul deeply with To Be Loved being my instant favourite.

    Adele doesn’t need a change in her sound ‘cause she already has a defined style, however this album brings us new sounds and good pop songs that I wouldn’t expect from Adele, her album so far more different without wanting to achieve large numbers, just her and her incredible voice they convey to you what she really wants you to hear 10/10

    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!"

    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.
