The Weeknd Thread ( "Hurry Up Tomorrow" Coming Soon)

[C.Magneto]

I guess im in the minority by saying not really feeling this I’ll give it few most listens

Pretty much. I've made the effort to approach it from a few angles and nothing is clicking for me.

Alone Again + Too Late is the best opener to one of his albums since Professional + The Town

Kissland had the god level 5 tracks in a row. Professional, the town, adaptation, love in the sky, and belong to the world

 

[checks mcgee]

Belong to the world is cool

but those 4 tracks in a category of their own

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Great art direction does not a great album make.

Cool photography, great fonts, unfortunately mostly mid music.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Snowchild gives he chills. Faith got too many quotables. But if I OD, I want you to OD right beside me. I want you follow right behind me. I want you to hold me while I'm smiling. While in dying. And if you know me. When I go missing, you know where to find me.


Whole verse fye.

That's undeniable, and will never be topped, but these two opening tracks on AF are fire together

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Been listening heavy, just got back from picking up a to go order in the car

Confirmed what my first impression was: That he isn't singing Singing on this. Vocally, it's not quite there from what we're used to imo. The production on the other hand held up, bringing back KL writer/producer solidified this

There were also a few moments where I felt God level could have occurred but instead fell flat

1. The drop in Faith- when he goes into the distorted voice "I've been sober for a year..." I feel it didn't quite hit its mark sonically. It's almost like a record scratch moment instead of the payoff, sounded/felt way out of place

2. Escape From LA Outro- that whole part was a dope image but the lyricism was lacking imo ("we had sex in the studio"... felt a little corny), that part could have been legendary

I understand those who are saying they're underwhelmed. Ngl, when some of those pop songs come on I don't feel the need to blast the volume in the car

For sure that the 1st 2 tracks on AH is I love this album. Abel delievered. Not a skippable track to me at all

Hardest To Love was an IMMEDIATE skip in the car.

 

[Ingenious Bastard]

I definitely was blasting a couple of these in the whip today. Alone Again and Snowchild hit different on a highway.

Sheeeeesh.

 

[headdetective]

SNOWCHILD DIFFERENT

 

[jc619er]

This album goes for me. Been listening nonstop the last two days. I can see where people are turned off by the pop songs but the album bangs. Cannot wait for a really nice night in the future to bump this full blast windows down.

 

[murkn3m]

Playing kissland right now, man..... after hours Is good but kissland is always his best work

I said the same thing!!

 

[pitman13]

"Alone Again" on repeat

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If he never pre released Heartless, the

Snowchild
Escape from LA
Heartless
Faith

run would have hit differently imo. Wish I never heard Heartless ahead of time

I don't blame ya, it's too difficult to hold out. If we held out on After Hours the

Repeat after me
After Hours
Until I bleed out

Would be also nice as hell

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Glad I only listened to heartless one time.

Some of these tracks definitely made for driving at night

[tay1]

Whoever worked on Alone Again fixed the mix. It sounds much clearer

 

[broncos19dm]

You don't have to cry, girl, let me wipe your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

Caved and copped the baby milo tee in white

way too expensive but I’ll look at as a collectors piece
