Adele - 21

Love this lady’s voice. Amazing

every song on this album is great and wonderful it is worth the money

Love the album but this is a duplicate to the one delivered yesterday

I love this album so glas i got the vinyl!

Great album. A must have for the vinyl collector.

Adele's second studio album has arrived with a force! Adele Adkins is a young singer-songwriter (22 now, but wrote songs for this album while 21) from England. In this sophomore outing, she enlists the help of respected producers like Rick Rubin (Dixie Chicks, Red Hot Chili Peppers) and Ryan Tedder, among others. I've been listening to songs from this album for the past 3 weeks, and I truly love it. The words "Easy Listening" come to mind, not because it identifies the album's musical genre; but because the songs in it are so approachable, so easy to enjoy while doing whatever. Musical instruments are kept to a minimum in most tracks, with a piano, an acoustic guitar or set of drums providing some of the musical setting. But really, the center instrument here is Adele's voice (no complaints here). My favorite songs in the album are "Rolling in the Deep", "Someone Like You" (next promotional single) and "Don't You Remember". While I truly enjoy this album, I don't think this is a stellar or perfect album. Unfair as it might be to point this out, Adele is still developing as an artist. While everything here sounds great, one might also be left with the feeling that she's barely scratching the surface of her talent. Still a truly enjoyable surface!

Best songs ever!

Having felt a bit lukewarm about her debut album 19, I was eager to see what Adele's sophomore effort would sound like. 21 feels much like a promise fulfilled. There has never been any denial of Adele's soaring voice. In fact, she simply puts most current artists to shame in the days of so much auto-tuning. Adele's producing partners have been a tremendous asset on this album, working with the likes of Ryan Tedder and Paul Epworth. Her collaborations have produced a deeply emotional and personal album. You can feel the emotions of each song. From the first track to the last, Adele holds your attention and conveys so much power and feeling that it is difficult not to push repeat on each song just to hear it again. "Rolling in the Deep" begins with a gospel-bluesy feel. Adele has said that she channels Beyonce's Sascha Fierce when she sings it, and it definitely shows. Her haunting voice floats effortlessly over the strong beat. Other standouts on the album are "Turning Tables", "Set Fire to the Rain", "Take it All", "One and Only", and the haunting "Someone Like You" (though you would be hard-pressed to find a song on the album that is sub-par. Maybe only "Dont' You Remember" falls a little flat). Note to artists out there - if you wanna get a great ballad, go see Ryan Tedder. With "Apologize", "Bleeding Love", and now "Someone Like You" to his credit, he is proving to be a ballad writer like none I have seen in the past two decades. It is hard to believe Adele is only 22 years old. It is exciting to think of how many albums and wonderful singing will come out of her in the years to come. This is easily the best album release of this year, and possible of the last 4 or 5 years. It is an amazing display of vocal ability and beautiful, sometimes heartbreaking songwriting. A must own.

Great! Original and new! Thanks for the rapid, easy and unproblematic delivery!

Excelente. El disco llegó en buenas condiciones. Tiene un detalle en la caja como que el vinil se presionó mucho de un lado y agrietó la caja. Solo ese detalle, que ya he notado en varios discos que he comprado. El sonido muy bien, sin detalles notables.

Deze cd had ik al, maar uitgeleend, vergeten aan wie en nooit meer teruggekregen.

Le canzoni più famose di Adele sono qui. Il vinile è un successo dietro l'altro, devo alzare molto il volume dell'impianto HI-Fi per avere un coinvolgimento decente ma la qualità è buona, la voce centrale e i vari strumenti ben identificabili nella scena sonora, bello sentire il pianoforte che l'accompagna nel brano Take it all. Rispetto agli altri brani, paricolare è il fatto che la voce sia più squillante e meno ovattata in I'll be waiting. Un album da collezione anche se su vinile standard ma che suona bene, separazione dei canali elevata, fruscio e tic inesistenti, a volte anche se non sono stampati su vinili 180 gr le stampe possono essere buone. Copertina semplice e busta interna senza testi con due foto per parte di Adele in bianco e nero e da un lato nella parte in basso è dedicata alle collaborazioni. Quello che conta è la sua voce e i suoi bellissimi brani musicali, per cui è un voto positivo.

Great songs
