Adele’s 2nd album is very very good. She has
great vocal ability, and she showcases that on just about every song. The only
real knock on this abum is the beats, which aren’t bad, but not perfect. Adele
sings mostly of heartbreak and problems in relationships. The future is bright
for this talented artist. Set Fire to the Rain is my favorite song here. It’s
so emotional and it sets the tone for the album. Shoot it got me to give her a
chance. 9.75/10 is the score!
This album review is way overdue. I've had a long time to sit with the album....I really liked it at first but it hasn't really aged as well as other Kanye projects. Kanye's lyricism has taken a noticeable decline. I mean hes not horrible but alot of these bars are bad or tasteless. Ty Dolla $ign on the other hand does a great job on pretty much every track. The production though, as with most Kanye albums is really good. Some of it was reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy or Yeezus. There are a few guest spots and most are well used. Hearing Kanye's daughter, North West, on "Talking"is cute. Freddie Gibbs steals the show on the hilarious "Back to Me". "Carnival" is a certified hit which features Playboi Carti & Rich the Kid. Overall most of these songs are good but I cant say this really adds much to Kanye's illustrious discography. Lyrics 19 Beats 23 Depth 22 Tilt 21 Verdict 85
