Additional Information19 makes good on the hype by providing 12 lush tracks that showcase Adele’s achingly beautiful voice.
Reviews3 stars out of 5 -- "The album shows off a vocal instrument that smokes the competition. Check out 'Cold Shoulder,' a lover's blues, produced by Winehouse's secret weapon, Mark Ronson...", "Over crafty retro-soul arrangements helmed in part by BACK TO BLACK producer Mark Ronson, Adele croons lovelorn lyrics in a smoky voice much more mature than her 20 years would suggest.", Ranked #38 in Clash's "The 40 Best Albums of 2008" -- "A mature, heart-stopping collection that defied her years with a gorgeous voice to match.", 4 stars out of 5 -- "Adele's songs possess an ageless classicism....These are extremely grown-up songs in terms of emotional scope and musical arrangement.", "The acoustic ruggedness of the instrumentation appears significantly well-thought out and certainly matches Adele's heartfelt chops."
Nothing wrong with the music, nothing wrong with the seller. If you like to listen to your music using quality equipment, then do not buy this LP. Side one is virtually u listenable owing to the amount of sibilance present, especially on side 1. Poor mastering, poor quality control. If you play on a Crossley you probably won't notice. If you play on anything half decent, then you will notice, and it will spoil a fine debut album by a fine singer!
