    This is the finest Adele album. Most versatile she ever sounded. Most daring and ferocious ever. So experimental yet doesn't lose the essence of classic Adele. Mwah.

    Her most mature and personal album, ‘30’ contains what probably will be one of the most classical songs in this new contemporary era of music.

    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.

"My Little Love" es una canción que terminó conmigo estando en el inicio, la forma en la que Adele logra plasmar tantos sentimientos, la voz de Angelo, esas conversaciones te hacen sentir más íntimo y de verdad mi más grande admiración hacía Adele por la valentía de ser vulnerable y más aún frente a millones de personas. Realmente no tengo nada más que decir porque es un álbum que hizo explotar mi cabeza y que definitivamente debe de tener una gran puntuación para semejante obra maestra. Expand

    O novo álbum 30 da cantora Adele foi aguardado por grande parte do público com muito entusiasmo, afinal seis anos se passaram desde a última vez que a britânica tinha lançado algo. 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.

    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,
    "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.

    Adele no sabe desepcionar a su público, nos trae su mejor álbum hasta el momento, con agradables sonidos y grandes mensajes como en Hold On, sin duda alguna se mantiene fiel a lo que sabe hacer dándonos siempre exelentes trabajos.

    Possibly my favorite album of hers to date! It sounds like the next step in her musical journey and sound. Really loving the variety, while still sounding like her and giving us 10/10 lyrics and vocals

    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.

    Adele's 30 is her most diverse, mature and her best record to date. Adele takes more risks sonically with this album than she did on any of her previous records, and most of them pay off. My personal favorites are Cry Your Heart Out, Woman Like Me, All Night Parking, I Drink Wine and Love Is A Game. That being said, there is not one song that is a skip for me.

Adele challenged herself vocally with this track, but the song is so raw and powerful that you feel that after hearing it once, you want to lock it in your heart and keep it there as a memory. Expand

    This Album, For somebody, I know It's hard to listen all the tracks because there are some tracks longer than usual and not easy-listening. But It's worth to wait for 6 years to see her growing up in music. She experienced by using new elements in this album. Prepare a cup of wine and play this album and You will feel it.

    Adele is back. Even if she already gave us this kind of songs, it feels comfortable and really fresh, she’s being more emotional than ever, catching her public with nice rhythms, “Oh My God” for example.

    Adele is simply one of those artists who can disappear for years on end, and when she comes back, it’s as if she never left. I’ve given this album multiple listens for a month now, and I love it. Her sound is so experimental on this album, with tracks like “Strangers By Nature”, “Oh My God”, “Can I Get It”, “Late Nigh Parking” and “Cry Your Heart Out”.

Her sound is so experimental on this album, with tracks like “Strangers By Nature”, “Oh My God”, “Can I Get It”, “Late Nigh Parking” and “Cry Your Heart Out”. These songs were so different for her, and in the best sort of way. They reminded me of Lo-Fi music that’s been very popular recently.

    The melodies of these songs are irresistibly catchy, and one month later, I still find myself enjoying them. The only criticism I would say is that some of the tracks are far too long. I know it’s in true Adele fashion to write ballads, but it can be difficult at times to get that urge to replay a song that’s 5 or 6 minutes long.

    Not all of the tracks are “easy” to listen to, and the melody and lyrics of them can sometimes get lost in such a long track. For example, the ending to “I Drink Wine” is confusing and ruins such a lovely song. The voice recording of herself gives no real context to what she’s talking about, and is again, too long.

    So what I mean is, is that the songs can start to wander away from the original point and sort of drag on. However, “Love Is A Game” gets it perfect, and it’s a ballad I will listen to forever. Overall this was a gorgeous album, and I hope Adele will creafe many more to come.

This album is feeling of when I was at the late night show with romanticize dinner and this album is perfectly fit with the whole vibes.

    Track by track analysis:
    Strangers by nature... Slow and sorrowful bit doesn't prepare is enough for the onslaught that follows.

    Easy on me... Reeling and compels the audience to take what she has to offer with ease, because she knows what she has readied.

    My little love... Very emotional and intimate, the recordings>>> and the subtlety the whole track holds is very pleasing.

    Cry your heart out... Sad songs with uptempo beats are so underrated.

    Oh my God... The onset of this track is very jolting, and doesn't even prepare one enough for the beauty that comes after.

    Can I get it... The harmonies geez! The way the beat fades to just guitar strums in the chorus and picks up again with the drums is so beautiful. We Stan a queen that isn't linear.

    I drink wine... Classic ballad Adele.

    All night parking... Did Adele just give us a jazz and trap leaning song in one track?!

    Woman like me... Cute

    Hold on... The fading vocals to the chorus is genius! And the massive belt to the bridge's belt>>>

    To be loved... Big and a monstrous vocal moment! She spat out all her hurt and pain!

    Love is a game... A graceful way to close the curtains.

    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!

    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.
