Adele (3) – 30

Purchased from Walmart for 5$. The cover is in horrible shape and it did not include the 12x12. But the disc themselves don’t have many issues. And the record itself sounds alright. No large complaints with the disc sound

I received my copy of this pressing for Christmas and have finally sat down to listen to it. Unpleasant surprise: I have two copies of the second disc :(

Definitely agree with the consensus that this pressing has some issues. Both my discs have some noticeable discoloration. Instead of clear it looks like a blotch of an oil spill. Made sure to clean them before playing but still got several pops and hissing. It's still playable, but the quality does interfere with the overall listening experience :/

finally listened to this and well, this is the worst sounding record in my collection.

I’ve listened to the record a few times. I don’t think I enjoy the music as much not because it isn’t good (it certainly is), but because I can’t personally relate to the story. Her voice is beautiful as always and this is still a new/unique sound for Adele. If I drank, this album seems like the kind you listen to with a glass of wine on a chill night.

If anyone has a 12x12 print they would sell for cheap message me please.

From all the reviews here I thought this wouldn’t be a bad pressing after owning the record industry one but I couldn’t have been any more wrong…
When I opened the jacket I was greeted with slight discoloration on my record which wasn’t fully clear but had some light blue tinting in it which I wouldn't care much and seems as it was cut wrong too in the plant as the record was misshaped on the left edge. I then put the record into my turntable and cleaned it, but no cleaning could prevent what I was about to hear. As I was shocked to hear hiss and crackle in 5 sec period in EVERY SONG from the first record.
I angrily grabbed the record n tried the other one. Luckily the other one was not discolored but also suffers from the pops n hisses but at least 2 tracks are pop free…
In the end I must be the one unlucky person but I should have kept the record industry pressing instead as it sounded much better so overall AVOID AT ALL COST or risk the same gamble as me cuz I’ll need to get a new copy of this album…
At least this pressing looks better than the Milky record industry pressing…

Excellent sound quality overall on my copy, 1-2 crackles so nothing to write home about but a good listening experience. Agree it should have been a gatefold

rip to everyone who bought this for full price on release day (including me💀)

After cleaning it, it sounds really nice! Nothing too stellar, but a nice, crisp sound 🤤 should've been a gatefold (especially for its price), but I got the art print so that will make up for it :) The discs are really thick,, so that's a plus and if you want the art print, I guess your best chances are here :/
