    Es sin duda un trabajo en donde podemos ver el alma de alguien... Me identifiqué en muchas de sus canciones y no creo poderlo superar hasta dentro de 6 años que regrese nuevamente (REGRESA ANTES)

    she was completely open and honest about her feelings. it's an album that we can feel her pain and her passion at the same time. it's so pure the way she wrote and sang every single song.

    Beautiful record. Grand melodies and neat story telling. The sound is still very Adele but very different; growth if you may.

The orchestra, Adele's improved voice and beautiful story telling makes 30 and experience, and one full of heart wrenching and tears.
    She caves into the clamour of her music critics and attempts a few upbeat tracks with somewhat reggae and country influence. It's distinct, and it's where the album feels nadiral. But don't get me wrong, experimenting with her sound was a brave and respectable choice. This is a solid record, and the songs sound like they're gonna stick for quite a while.    … Expand

    Adele truly outdid herself with her fourth studio album “30”. It’s not only a tribute to historical characters on music, such as Frank Sinatra and Aretha Franklin, but this is also a vocal album delivery; her best one so far.

From her very first song on the album “Strangers Like Me” you can clearly tell that the album feels with an oldie vibe, but it’s just amazing and incredible how it works so well. Then “Easy On Me” and “My Little Love” start to melt your heart, it almost feels as if Adele was lulling us with her vulnerability. “Cry Your Heart Out”, “Oh My God” and “Can I Get It” lift us all up to cry our hearts out, to dance, and to whistle. “I Drink Wine” makes us appreciate what is already gone, but that remains forever in the memory, disregards if it was good of bad. “All Night Parking” is the perfect way of preparing us all for the remaining 4 songs on the album, and of course, the best ones. “Woman Like Me” is the empowerment of a woman, an incredible transition from what we hear so far, “Hold On” is already an anthem. I can see how the children will be playing it as our generation played Imagine by John Lennon. “To Be Loved” is an amazing vocal performance, but also, her most heart melting song on the album. You will definitely cry at this point. And then “Love Is A Game”, the amount of rhythms and instrumental quality happening on this song is unbelievable. The best outro an album can deliver, without-a-doubt. Album of the year. Yes and yes. Adele never disappoints, and I believe that the reason behind it is because she does music from the bottom of her heart, and it speaks by itself. I’m sure it’s not only me, but everybody have felt at least one of her songs. She has the power of making you feel the things she felt when she dealt with them. And that’s what true art is. Adele is true art.… Expand

    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 us

    This is adele's best album for numerous reasons, it shows her range in terms of musical styles, her vocal flexibility (if she has not already proven it before) as well as the massive improvement in her songwriting

    It was pretty scary to think Adele couldn’t be able to surpass the warmness of 19, the greatness of 21, and the success of 25 yet, here we are with 30, the perfect combination of all these three things that have led to her new peak. It’s deeply raw, terrifyingly personal, and strangely calming.

It’s deeply raw, terrifyingly personal, and strangely calming. Throughout the album, Adele proves again the chumps of being one of the greatest vocalists since Whitney Houston. She explores new sounds while still keeping her signature sound, her comforting warmth. We are right there next to her, just as if we were sitting on a luxurious beige L-shaped sofa with cups full of red wine, face masks, and pajamas with the rain knocking against the window. Passionate confessions from a woman who proved herself to be one for the history books.… Expand

    30 is so vulnerable that, I felt everything Adele sang about, something that hardly happens to me, especially with albums. My best tracks are To Be Loved, it is so deep that I saw my self hugging myself after the first listen. I’m glad she is not in that state of mind at the moment, I’m happy for her.

It sounds so new and fresh but still quintessential Adele. She made the songs sound happy and sad at the same time how is that even possible. And I love the message behind her songs. Every song is so unique and adorable. A 10/10 album. Will be streaming.… Expand

    Adele is back with 30, which in my opinion, is one of the best albums of this year, with the beautiful voice of adele, and songs that although they are not as memorable as other songs by the artist, leaves you with the sweet taste you heard a great album

    Adele is an eminence, "30" one of her masterpieces, a new book towards the future of music. A very mature album, maybe much more mature than something commercial like pop music.

In addition to the messages sent, this album draws a picture of the growth from lingering around comfort-zone music to seeking out and using her higher-level talent to write songs. Choosing this path, Adele chose challenging farmland to cultivate her musical plants, but she certainly will get the special gift from music and her soul.… 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.

    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.
