Import vinyl LP. Nobody could predict the global sensation Adele was about to unleash when rolling out "21" in 2011. Certainly, her album "19" was a huge success, but "21" became a juggernaut of mega hits including "Rolling in the Deep;" "Rumour Has It;" "Set Fire to the Rain" and "Someone Like You." There are only 11 songs on the album, and 9 of them charted. The album didn't just peak at #1, it went into orbit. Although it was produced by the legendary Rick Rubins, it is Adele's remarkable vocal range and power with such a soulful warmth that carries the whole album. More than a singer, Adele also co-wrote nearly the entire album with assists from Paul Epworth, Francis White, Dan Wilson and Ryan Tedder, among others. Clearly "21" has a cross-generational appeal, especially with it's heavy soul influences, but it also seems to announce the arrival of the millennials as a generational force on the music industry. This is the UK LP pressing by the British-born star. Review: Best CD recorded by Adele - Excellent CD. All of my favorites. Review: Absolutely Breathtaking - 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.

Adele CD great, but top of case (and one other CD) shattered and unusable
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.

Adele's 21 Album
All good and well Cd looks almost like new and plays really well on cd, arrived very promptly and well packaged and undamaged by Music Magpie as reliable as ever. Adele's 21 album has some of her best music on it. Rolling in the Deep is the one I bought this for but am not disappointed with any of the tracks an the album, all have well written lyrics. which give a very classy sound kind of 50's60ish feel in places with solid vocals from Adele and real good musical production standards mean an excellent listen. Well worth the price.
