Who tf cares about accessibility if the music is good

Blonde was cool but After Hours blows it out of the water. Weeknd is a better artist than Frank Ocean period.

Blonde may be a little more tame and safe, easy listening for some kind of Brooklyn dinner party or something. Channel Orange was definitely great in its own way. But I just gravitate to The Weeknd's vibe and music 100x more.

How the hell is Blonde safe and easy listening

I mean I see how in some ways it was experimental. But I just mean the slow acoustic "chill" nature of most of the tunes. 'nights' was good but I just wasn't really trying to hear most of that chill go-nowhere type of sound. "Nikes" also hasn't really aged super well IMO... whereas Weeknd sounds like a savage. Just look at any picture of Weeknd vs. any picture of Frank Ocean. frank ocean is like an energy vacuum, almost always seemingly like he doesn't want to be wherever he is, whereas Weeknd just exudes charisma and insouciance.

These new fans go too far too often.

AH seems reductive compared to his previous works and i don’t get this comparison. but maaybe i’m biased bc blonde is my fav album from frank

Blonde is such a damn good Album....i can't say whats better

A mix of both haha

Yeah it is

frank ocean is like an energy vacuum, almost always seemingly like he doesn't want to be wherever he is, whereas Weeknd just exudes charisma and insouciance

what a funny way of describing two grown men

Glad to see that there is even a debate. Says a lot about the quality of both albums.

yup

who liked this lmao

That is kind of a fair point. It didn't really break that much new ground. Somewhere between starboy, after hours and MDM is a classic. something with the variety of starboy, the time/care taken of After Hours, and the genuine emotion/Trilogy vibes of MDM.

Then again the tracklist and flow of After Hours, as it is, is probably one of the best on any Weeknd project since Echoes of Silence

Blonde is an all time classic but After Hours is a masterpiece that’s only getting better with time...

I’m truly conflicted

this legit reads like a Patrick Bateman quote

Exactly bro! 🤣🤣🤣

“I am the energy vacuum, seemingly like I do not want to be wherever I am”

AH great, but blonde is a masterpiece

couldnt imagine having taste this bad

avy and username so hard i can't even disagree

but I like both albums a lot

I said it before and I’ll say it again. It is better than Blonde. That’s the tea, sis!

Slow down there
