i didnt know this but its interesting

i prefer the vibe of the twisted fantasy story and the accompanying visuals but thats subjective
but the think about variation in production is still true IMO
Yeah I posted a video of everything compiled in the OP definitely an extremely interesting narrative if that’s the kind of thing you’re into.
idk bout MBDTF tier but i randomly came back to this album recently and it's easily one of the best album experiences of the last few years, so many hits, so many great moments
such a great cohesive listen
i don't think it was as good as MBDTF, but if we're talking about it being a moment in the pop culture, i don't think there has been an album as important as AH since
no
its just a good album
do y'all actually understand MBDTF? its not just that album with power on it
The comparisons are really just more of a symbol or metaphor or whatever you wanna call it. Like something to aspire to. The thread title could've easily been "After Hours was the latest Thriller-tier album" it's not a specific track by track comparison.
Also OP clearly maps out all the categories he thinks both albums hit, it's not just about the music but about the "era" and "experience" I suppose.
the site is called kanye to the i fail to see how u forget
where do you see that? the owner’s posted multiple times that “ktt2” doesn’t stand for “kanyetothe2”

Actually nah on second thought I’d put After Hours in that MBDTF, Blonde, TPAB, WLR category. Even if I think it’s the weakest. OP right tbh
WLR? Ok
Not mbdtf tier but it is the closest we have had yes. I agree with everything you said. Also abel worked so hard after hours era on all the visuals, to really make it a complete experience
not sure why but After Hours just didnt really hit for me. great album for sure but i rarely go back to it like i do with some other weeknd projects
Anyways, after hours is a masterpiece fr
i wanna see how the dawn sounding. Idk if its gonna top it but i wouldnt be surprised if it does

scorp and shoot for the stars
just without the critical reception
in the fact that everyone stopped and listened when they dropped
The storyline in all the videos definitely give it a great argument
What made MBDTF do great is that it checked off all the boxes: Incredible rollout, great music, iconic videos, solid theme/storyline.
