25

Oh good, more Adele. Just when I was in need of a good yawn.

No, just a million times no. No, no, no, no, no.

Talented musician but not my cup of tea

OK, the last Adele album I got on this thing surprised me with how much I enjoyed it. On the other hand: this album fucking honks. This selling a billion copies is all the proof you need that your average human being is boring beyond belief and has absolutely abysmal taste

Ugh

so glad this album generator is exposing me to all these obscure overlooked artists like goddamn Adele.

Kinda soulless for how strong the vocal talent is. Boring listen.

The Grammy's are Racist. I'll be honest I was content after Hello, every song beyond is just a test of my patience. The only other track I can even remark on is Million Years Ago, it has a "fantasy tavern" sound that was kind of neat. Not enough to return to though.

I was dreading this moment, I knew it would come eventually. I gave it a listen out if respect but never again. If anyone put this on I would leave and for that strong feeling alone it gets a star.

Tried to listen objectively but very difficult, what did i actually not like about this? Great voice, great production, boring music!

"Adele! Do your thing!" "Where's me bloody orchestra?" "In the faacking studio, innit?" "Oh, I dunno, mate. Quite honestly, I'm just not feeling it." "Right! Bring in the boyfriend!" "Wha? Simon?" "Hi babes. Listen it's not you, it's me..."

No thank you.

Just not my shit.

She can definitely hold a note without coming up for air, but musically this album is the equivalent of C-grade middle school project. 1.0/5.0: Embarrassing

Overrated

Please see review for 21. Nothing has changed. So boring. Could be same album. 5th 1 out of 5 on trot now. Help! 0.9/5 3/4/24

Don’t even need to listen

DOG SHIT

This could work for me if Adele was a better lyricist, but it mostly misses me. Clumsy wording shouted over soft piano is annoying to me.

No me gusta

not my cup of tea

It’s not horrible, it’s just not good. I remember liking her prior album but never listened to this one until today. The singles didn’t interest me enough to listen to the album and that was a good call on my part.

Woah this is was truly wild and truly a journey and truly a lot. I had no idea what Adele sounded like, it's so big and so dramatic. Obviously she has a great voice, but this is so far off from anything that would remotely be considered enjoyable for me. It was rough to get through.

Really just not a big Adele fan

Undoubtedly great voice and talent but the songs are just not my thing. Boring!

Completely overrated in my opinion. Sure, she has a good voice, but so do a lot of people. I just find it all a bit mannered.

Overhyped mom music. Not my scene

Binned half way through 1st song. Not for me at all.

Good voice with nothing to say. Overproduced, uninspired, dull. Cash grab.

no thanks

Absolutely not my music

👎

nope! her voice is like nails on a chalkboard! just bc you CAN hit all the high notes doesn’t mean you should!

Obviously, amazing voice. But the songs don't make me feel anything and feel too... general and boring.

SHit

Boring

I fell asleep halfway through. Favorite track: Water Under the Bridge (favorite is stretching it.)

Not a fan

Feels more contrived after she blew up. “Here I am, Adele, making an Adele album.” I appreciate the rare maturity of “Send Your Love” as far as pop music goes. I might like some of this with more raw production.

Barf.

I live in little old Blighty. i don't have to listen to this album to know what this album sounds like, it was inescapable at the time and i'm pretty certain it won't have gotten any better.

21 was a lovely album of well constructed songs with a lot of soul influences. Nice suprise. This is a bunch over the top songs where Adele is straining her voice. I really did not enjoy this. Shame as 21 was a nice suprise

This is worse than Hitler.

Dull as ditch water to me. Musical beige

Mum-core. Water Under the Bridge is alright then back to boring piano.

Hoewel deze vrouw een wereldstem heeft, lukt het d’r inhoudelijk weinig neer te zetten. Het tweede nummer Send My Love (wist niet dat die van haar was) gaat al te lang door terwijl die netjes binnen de vier minuten valt. Verder vooral krokodillentranentrekkers en huisvrouwen muziek

Oh well, at least the portrait on the cover is quite nice. I think this is probably the worst album that the 1001 has sent my way.

poštujem, ali nije za mene.

I didnt listen to this shit, why is this even on the list

Skip

Aw c'mon. *21* was not for me yet I could still respect folks who loved it. But it's way harder for me to do with this other record. What's the next step? Céline f*cking Dion? Removed from the list in 2018, apparently. Next, please. Number of albums left to review: 742 Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: 126 Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: 65 Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): 68 (including this one)

Not a bloody chance I'm putting myself through this again

Ryan sucks a bunch. Does she have a good voice? I don't know. It's kind of annoying. I did not need to hear this before I died.

Música de fondo para supermercados.

celine dion but bri'ish

Not my jam

Two Adele records in one month are far too many for me. She has the same affliction that singers with good pipes have, the compulsion to show off the fact that they can sing by bellowing and yelling too much. This has infected the likes of Whitney Houston, Celine Dionne, Maria Carey and others. I just couldn’t bear to listen to this so I tuned out and turned this off after a few songs

10/10 babyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy love me some adele

Pants

One of the most grating voices in popular music. Karen-core music that is barely tolerable.

Not my cup of tea.

Her voice is great but not for me.

Thought her previous album was the classic one? That one contained at least one great song (Rolling in the Deep)...

Vocal acrobatics, but not in a good way. What a waste.
