Hardest to love, as you are, scared to live, angel, die for you, adaptation, tears in the rain, real life or generally any songs where he takes responsibility for his shortcomings are when he's at his best imo

Couldn’t you say that about any artist?

2 good songs in op

Not really. Some of em come off forced and disingenuous

I like abel spits in my mouth if u know wat I mean

You what

I like when abel spits in my mouth

angel and real life are bottom 5 abel tracks imo

titr and adaptation top 5 tho

Those are some of his best vocals across his entire career but go off

Adaptation, tears, die for u, as u r

DFY is so good lol

real life fire u bugging

Its interesting that dfy and htl were both the last songs recorded for the respective albums they're on and they're arguably the most vulnerable of each

love when weeknd sings about love 💕

OP is a mix of songs I consider classics and songs I believe are his worst ever

IMO his best is when he's in his "im going to make girls feel worthless for f***ing me" bag. He has left this behind, for the most part, except for the second half of Escape from LA. Where it feels sinister, like he's almost making fun of these poor girls he's just taking advantage of lmao HOB/GTG, TPATAP, Loft Music, Gone, Till Dawn, XO/The Host, Initiation(lol), KL, Belong To The World, Pretty, Nomads etc.. that type of "I won't keep ya, ima leave ya..so f*** me right" vibe thats truly dark is something thats not around anymore imo and he perfected it. Miss that edge. Times don't really allow it anymore lol

Idk why youd cite angel and hardest to love to make this point

I agree

I don't see HOB or The Morning on that list

You make a good point. Was anybody really complaining about his lyrics in Trilogy or even Kiss Land for more than a minute? You just made me remember people thought he was a whole band

Give it a decade and we're bound to get something like that again by a new artist eventually

nah sometimes when you're checking out some creative showcase s*** and dude is talking about "i need to blow to support my girl, we got a kid otw" and they suck at music its like hey man lets get the streets warmed up before you throw all of that on there

I don't view him as vulnerable on those tracks

Nah it’s actually when he’s doing his coked-out MJ impression
