Same here but I actually bought it for myself. Gave it a listen in the car during all the Thanksgiving driving I had to do. Lots of good songs although I wonder if Adele can ever sing a happy upbeat song.

I will give it a listen on one of my systems to evaluate more.

One track that was weird to me was track 3 I Miss You. The drum track seemed off beat to me or some kind of mistake. I think this method of music or concept was discussed in the forum earlier. I have to find that thread to read up on it.

Also one thing that surprised me was all the different producers that worked on this album. Pretty much each song has a different producer. I thought Adele would be working with Rick Rubin again like she did on the 21 album but she got all sorts of people. Maybe that is why it took 4 years for the album to come out?

Bob in St. Louis:
I've got her DVD, "Live at the Royal Albert Hall", and I think it's a great DVD to watch. She's truly a character (cusses like a sailor!). If you like her, you'll love this DVD.

I have not heard "19".

A customer of mine brought me a copy of "25" today.
Her voice is nothing short of amazing, I'll give her that.
But about five songs into the album, while diving home, I begun to "forward" halfway through songs. A few more songs in, and I hit "next" within a minute into a song. Not sure I made it through every song.
I don't know. Like I said, her voice is amazing, but .... i dunno... It's like eating the icing from a birthday cake. It's wonderful at first, but doesn't take long before it's like "Uhg", I can't take any more. I know of no other artist that is so amazingly boring. Or is it "boringly amazing"?

jimbones:
Ive had enough. No interest in getting this album.

Bought it for my wife and her voice is nice, I am tired of her . The radio stations overplayed it when it was released and now  don't hear much of her on the radio anymore. Could be because the radio station I listen to that she would be on is just playing Christmas (that's for you Charles) music since Thanksgiving

I find with Adele her music is good in spurts. You can't listen to it a lot or you will end up taking a hammer to it. I had the 25 album in rotation for a week then took it out. A month or so later I played it with the family and enjoyed. I think with the 25 album a lot of the songs sound the same and are kind of sad. I kept thinking to myself what her concerts must be like. Are all the women crying in the stands?

At least with the 21 album there were a couple of more upbeat happy tracks even though the subject matter was kind of not so upbeat. Rumour Has It and I'll Be Waiting come to mind.
