    Wow!! She Surpassed my expectations. Was letdown by 25. This is her going back to 19 roots with Amy, Jazz, R&B, Pop,Motown, Soul, Country, George influences. Stranger By Nature- Perfect intro.
    Easy On Me- Great first Single.
    My Little Love- this broke me to listen her speak at the end. Lovely track Back to back 3 Bops Cry your Heart Out has Amy and 19 influence. OMG wais major Pop song,

    Back to back 3 Bops Cry your Heart Out has Amy and 19 influence. OMG wais major Pop song, Can I Get It - this one i am not that sure about.
    I Drink Wine- Classic Adele Sound.
    Interlude-More like a song, another Amy and 19 type song. Would love a whole album of these type of songs.
    Woman like Me- Another Adeke Classic Now back to back 1-2-3 punches.
    Hold on- To Be Loved-Love is a Game

    I don’t think she carried jazz & blues well. Only ‘Easy on Me’ & ‘To Be Loved’ are the tracks that feel the classic Adele. She more suitable to pop instead of other genres.

    Adele displays an incredible display of emotion on this album paired with uptempo feel free songs like “oh my god” she’s truly displaying the versatility that I knew she was always capable of.

    The Adele 30 album creates a devastating reality to life events but leaves hope for healing. 11/10

    This album was truly worth the wait.

    The way Adele shifts from late night anthems to heartbreak, soul wrenching anthems is why we love her. I can say for literally everybody, THANK YOU ADELE!


    Album of the year…wait, ALBUM OF THE CENTURY.

    Artistically one of her best, what sonic drive, the lyrics, the feels! 6 years without THE VOICE of our generation clearly wasn't an easy time, but this comeback makes up for it 100%. She came back and delivered and we couldn't be prouder and happier of the person she's become! YOU GO ADELE!

    And the wait is over. After several years Adele returns with an album full of powerful ballads and sublime lyrics. Here is the reason for the excitement for the return and for listening to new songs. This is definitely a great album

    Absolutely floored by the way Adele took us on a full journey from start to finish with 30. Sonically interesting, lyrically stunning, and simply soul-baring. This is an album that gets better and better with every listen.

    I loved every song of the album, especially the piano ballads. Also, the vocals were amazing. Denitely one of the best albums of the year.

    I loveeee her album so bad, queens back! This album shows us her vulnerability, soul, and emotions in every song...

    I think 30 is less satisfied than 21,25.
    I don't like soliloquy content in the album.
    But, besides easy on me "can i get it?” is the only song I can get.

    A very good album.Very cohesive,the lyrics are so good and the vocal performance is just as perfect as Adele's past songs.I can see that this album will age well.

    The album gave just enough experimental material for artistic growth. It's filled with emotional peaks, yet she still sounds self-assured. Adele will not let you down with this release.

    'To Be Loved' is a one-of-a-kind track that's an instant classic.

    This album is a reinvention and too loud for anyone, not everyone would achieve this successful album combining these great songs and making people cry and smile at the same time.

    I had high expectations that were just not met. Not a bad piece of work by any means but very little artistic growth for a 6 year hiatus

    30 is one of the most flawless and personal albums I've ever had the pleasure to listen to, this is definitely Adele's greatest work to date. The lyrics are exceptional they are just so deeply personal, beautifully raw, and heartwrenching; obviously she has always been very personal with her music but it really feels like she poured every bit of her heart and soul into this album giving us30 is one of the most flawless and personal albums I've ever had the pleasure to listen to, this is definitely Adele's greatest work to date. The lyrics are exceptional they are just so deeply personal, beautifully raw, and heartwrenching; obviously she has always been very personal with her music but it really feels like she poured every bit of her heart and soul into this album giving us a candid look into just what she's been through the last couple years and how much she's struggled and still struggles. Her vocal performances on this album are remarkable and beautiful, just flawless she's never sounded better and stronger also love how she vocally experimented more. The production is outstanding, love the cinematic quality; I really love how she experimented with different sounds and genres on this album and doing more upbeat music while still having her classic slower and ballad type songs she in my opinion really pulled it off. The artwork as always is simple but effective and very beautifully photographed. Also I thought the voice notes on some of the songs were a nice touch that made the album feel just that bit more personal. This is by far the best album I've heard all year, just absolutely perfect an A+ album, and definitely one of the all-time greatest albums I've ever heard. Expand

    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.

    The richest and most musically adventurous album of her career.

    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.
