    Hay canciones muy buenas y otras que no hacen sentir nada, varias canciones tienen una gran variedad de ritmos y sonidos pero el producto final no me terminó de convencer.

    As much as I love her music, this album doesn’t deliver the type of tunes we’re use to hearing from her. Her 21 and 25 albums still remain top tier

    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.

    3rd time through and I’m really hooding it will grow on me! Waiting for my vinyl to arrive, maybe it will hit different on the spin. I want to love it, there are a few songs I like but I keep zoning out. All respect and well done. Hoping it grows on me.

    At time the Sims game comes to mind whilst listening to the album. The monotomous tone of the album is umbeqrable at times and I found myself wanting to skip songs quite often. I was about to cry, not from the sad lyrics, but from the dragging on of the album. Other than Easy on me the only track worth listening to is I drink wine.

    This album is a miss...the "sad Adele" or "personal

    This album is a miss...the "sad Adele" or "personal Adele" theme is dated and becoming a bit predictable.

    O álbum só tem apenas três músicas que realmente envolvem a narrativa é boa mais é um álbum cansativo ao ponto de ser chato demais de ouvi-lo todo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great voice, tons of money in the production. zero new ideas.. only I like one song and it is the sound already made in 50s,60s,70s without any step beyond. Sorry.. too overrated!. Expand

    I only liked two songs (Oh My God and Can I Get It), the rest is like everything you heard on her previous three albums.

    Rating a two because there are only two songs that I more or less enjoy. You could argue that the whole album is cohesive and that’s a plus but not when its a cohesive collection of bad songs. 10/12 songs are bad. Not her best lyrics either. When you sit down and compare to her previous work, the production, the message, and the lyrics just fall short.

Also, I am not sure if its just me but it seems like she wanted to REALLY include a southern jazz. soul touch to this album and its borderline appropriating. There are touches of Aretha in almost every song and not in a honorable way but more like she is takingownership of those techniques and genre. I drink wine and To be loved are the only songs I find are somewhat good. None of these songs are iconic. I hope she breaks all the records there are to break but she will do that because she is Adele and not because of 30. I love Adele. I don’t love 30 Expand

    Easy on me is a song of legendary, but besides this the whole album is just boring, I more preferred her album of 25

    After her last two albums I expected so much for her lyrically and this is un-relatable for me. Therefore I’ll never listen to it again. Cool she’s still using real instrumentation though . Other artists need to take note on that front.

    Adele’s new album disappoints me and I confused why The Rolling Stones give it a five stars it just does not worth it.

    boring, this is her worst album so far

    yes, she sounds excellent, but just that

    Boring and unoriginal, sonically bland, almost nothing distinctive, one song sounds like ed Sheeran wrote it which is not a compliment and the last 4 or so tracks sound like the music was taken of one of those low fi beats to study to playlists, embarrassed for everyone buying into the hype

    Sus otros albumes son mucho mejores que este, tanta espera para que saque algo así... es decepcionante por decir lo menos, todas las canciones suenan iguales y su voz ya no se escucha como antes, ojalá no tarde tanto en sacar su proximo disco y ojalá esté al nivel de 25 o por lo menos sea mejor que 30

    There are only 4 good songs that would be anthems like most of her previous work. The rest of the songs are simply not up to Adele's standards.

    Nadanya sangat membosankan dan tidak ada yang enak di dengar kecuali Easy On Me.

    No abre nuevos caminos en la música de Adele aunque si debo destacar algo del álbum definitivamente es su voz.
    Pero el resto es tan predecible.

    While listening to new Adele music is great, this album feels rush, incomplete and at point boring. The experiment with new sounds fr her is promising but the combination of that and common lyrics for Adele just does not click with me, there is no hit in this album.

    I'm sorry, but they are forgiving him a lot just for being Adele, it's almost the same as his previous works, there is no evolution in lyrics, less in production things as such.

    Muito ruiim assim como tudo que ela faz. Músicas chatas demais e sem falar que é tudo mais do mesmo. Deveria ter vergonha em passar 6 anos sem lançar nada e vir com uma bost4 dessa que não serve pra nada. Só pra tédio. Beyoncé maior e melhor sempre que essa depr3ssiva pós parto que só save fazer mais do mesmo

    She has made this album 3 times already… it’s old.
    Nothing new. You’ve heard this album before, we all have. Just trying to recreate past success.

    Annoying, boring, the same sound over and over again. A snoozfest i fear, no one wants to hear a little brat cry for 5 minutes in the background of a song.

    It’s slow and not as good as her previous work. I was hoping for more. Just more of the same and no grow as an artist. Would have like something challenging.

    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.
