OT. Yes, but only a little. 25 is still a masterpiece.

Nope its better. 25 is her best album thus far

Y'all were shading 21 all the time that it was boring, now suddenly it's so great No.

25 is FAR BETTER than 21.

And on top of that Adele has better looks now and is a better vocalist than she was in 2011.

+ Hello is better than any video from 21, maybe on par with RITD.

What else do y'all want ?

Its ATRL here were posting ...

19 sounds dated

21 only has 3 good songs

25 is decent, not great, but still enjoyable for a couple of listens & has a few standout tracks

I had no idea this was a commonly held belief

whoa 4 pages

im surprised that 21 is so beloved it does have some truly iconic songs but as a complete work it sounds ... too much

21 is her best album period but 25 is next with ease. I find 19 her worst album mostly because it feels like she didn't know what she wanted it to sound unlike 21 in which she felt more focused and more authentic than with her debut. So to certain extend she kinda declined in quality but that's because 21 is so good that it was easy to match its quality.

I don't get the hate for 25. Its an incredible album with many bops. It was just a change in direction is all.

Mte.
The transparency of some members is just

I think so. I got 25 as a Xmas gift and only listened once. It's crazy, because I played 19 and 21 to death. I agree she is missing the unique more alternative tracks that made those albums special

From 19 to 21: No
From 21 to 25: Yes

Yes, a lot.

More than half of the tracks on 25 are dull as ****.

Yes

To me, it's 21 > 25 > 19.

So, not really?

No. 19 is her worse album. 25 is arguably a better listen than 21 is so I would say she has been improving. I can see why some people like 21 more though
