Best songs ever!

I ordered 3 CDs on Amazon that tracking showed shipped from California to Texas with an unexpected 2 day delay in the middle. All 3 arrived today, with this one and another in the same bag. The top covers of the two of them where shattered. Looks like something heavy had been put on top of the paper bag Amazon shipped them in. Luckily the CDs and bottoms of the cases were fine. Transferred to blank CD jewel cases along with the inserts. Not worth filing an Amazon return or exchange for. The Adele CD itself is great! I've had it on MP3 for years. TWO take-aways here: (1) Always good to have some blank CD jewel cases around, and (2) AMAZON - you really should be always shipping CDs in BOXES not bags. I've bought several others from Amazon recently that were packed in small boxes, with zero shipping damage.

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 cd.

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

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
