Editorial Reviews
[S]he wails harder and writes bolder, piling on the dramatic production flourishes to suggest a lover's apocalypse.
Spin

[T]his album is that rarest pop commodity: timeless. -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly

3 stars out of 5 -- 'Rolling In The Deep' sounds thrillingly like a girl group govering Gnarls Barkley's 'Crazy,' 'Rumour Has It' is a driving, bluesy stomp and 'Take It All' has Aretha written all over it.
Mojo

On 21, she sounds refreshed and poised to attack....Adele emerges with a well-manicured batch of songs that, while still showcasing her interest in layered musicality, shoot straight for the pop charts...
Paste

Adele is sincere, poignant and affecting throughout; the emotive 'Someone Like You' closes the album magnificently.
Clash

3.5 stars out of 5 -- Adele has toughened her tone, trimmed the jazz frippery and sounds ready for a pub fight....When the grooves are fierce, Adele gives as good as she gets.
Rolling Stone

Ranked #1 in Rolling Stone's '50 Best Albums Of 2011' -- 21 was this year's most stunning pop success....The sound is state-of-the-art retro soul...
Rolling Stone

Ranked #1 in Entertainment Weekly's 'The Top 10 Albums Of 2011' -- 21 features a rare thing: a singer who can seriously sing, belting out inspired love songs inspired by another time on an album that feels genuinely timeless.

LOVE her. Super CD. Every song is heartfelt - in words I feel, but can't seem to put together. From start to finish, it shows Adele in alpha mode, ready to outshout any big-mouth singer of the last two decades, from Celine to Christina to (sigh) Whitney.

Since her last cd, 19, Adele has toughened her tone, trimmed the jazz frippery and sounds ready for a pub fight.

My personal favorites are, "One and Only," "Rolling in the Deep," and "Set Fire to the Rain." Check em out!

Leave it to the UK to crank out good albums. A first gem in quite awhile. WTG ADELE! While it's true there isnt much out there I would break my legs to buy a song, let alone a whole album. This lady has talent. A first in a long time. I just bought my copy, but previewed most of the songs long before. I can say they are great. Coming from the progressive rock area, I would consider my self pretty picky, and I find this album worth every penny if you enjoy a little soul with pop, with a country swing. I guess thats why Adele's new album surpassed lady boy Gaga's so called chart topping new album here in the USA. I think this girls going to go far, If you see this Adele, I admire your style keep up the good work.

EXCELLENT!!! Blue eye soul at its best. The disc opens with the smokin' "Rolling In The Deep". The second song however "Rumour Has It" , and the next , "Turnning Tables", are just fair, but don't give up. Keep lisitening. There are GREAT songs to follow.Soul ballads such as, "Don't You remember", "Take It All", "One And Only". The up tempo "I'll Be Waiting" is reminessent of 70's style music of this kind. It ends with the balladof all ballads "Someone Like You". This one sone is worth the entire disc price. This disc is not like her first disc "19". If you liked her first disc, this is even better. If you did not, give this a chance, it will change your mind about Adele. Again, EXCELLENT!

This is a CD full of great songs. I bought it for "Rolling in the Deep" and "I Set Fire to the Rain", but there are so many other songs that I love as well like "Rumour Has It" and "Someone Like You". Adele is a thought provoking poet as well as a soulful singer.

Totally Blown Away!

Created: 26/02/11
I saw Adele's 2011 Brit Awards performance of 'Someone Like You' and her music video for 'Rolling In The Deep' and was completely blown away. So I decided to purchase her cd.
I do not regret one moment purchasing this cd. Unbelievable!!! I love all 11 tracks on the cd and have listened to this cd countless times - beginning to end - since the moment I got it.
Just completely amazing and beautiful. What more can I say - can't say enough!
