Early impressions
Interesting mixing decisions on his falsettos . Voice almost has this volcanic feeling of breaking through the mix especially on alone again.
the album overall is LOUD. Definitely meant for tour.
illangelo max Martin and metro are all over this album. Max Martin is the pop songwriting sensei, one of the reasons BBTM is so iconic. Illangelo n Weeknd especially should’ve never left so many years on the table.
snowchild is sidewalks flow+ tell your friends storytelling+ my dear melancholy production. Cali was the mission now a nigga leaving is probably one of the hardest lines on here. Futuristic/ Philip k d*** is so tongue n cheek.
escape from LA is doesn’t sound how I would based off the AM description. Can’t believe metro did production on this one.
-repeat after me interlude is NASTY. Shoutout kevin Parker boi.
Singles fit the album really well!
save your tears/ in your eyes sounds like what he was aiming for on Starboy but he couldn’t execute it properly. Both Feel out of place tho.
hardest to love may have to grow on me.
Ye i said tht about snowchild lmao he raps in literally the same flow everytime but it’s f***ing fire lol
Pray4me and reminder too
The only issue I have with BBTM and Starboy is that they both kinda felt a little too long
So many grt tracks so ill just give my best aspects from some songs. I legit think most the tracks on here are 9/10 down to the already released singles
Snowchild keys are so f***ing amazing. Ive never such crisp and nicely produced sounds before man, great melodies
Too late is my favorite song to dance to
Alone again is ny favorite overall produced song/instrumental. So many alt artists forget music 101 of just hving s*** be catchy/earwormy and abel a master of tht. The refrain at the end is f***ing amazing and he rides the hi hats beautifully
Also hardest to love legit sounds like a chvrches song it’s so beautiful
Man you know majority of them just be trolling
Oh you talking about the other dude lol nvm
its a good album but less consistent imo. the highs are high but the lows are low. the floor on after hours is really high to me
At least half of bbtm slaps tho. Cant say the same about this album. Not hating tho im sure this gets better with more listens
used to pray when I was sixteen
If I didn't make it then I'd probably make my wrist bleed
Ye i said tht about snowchild lmao he raps in literally the same flow everytime but it’s f***ing fire lol
Pray4me and reminder too
Love when he’s in that bag tho. He just floats. It’s no KOTF but I’ll take it.
this Blonde level idgaf
Woah dere boi
I love tf out of this album, but it doesn’t reach Blonde levels. Can’t say some s*** like that not even 3 hours after it releasing
my drive home it was storming it hit SO HARD like the lightning was hitting on beat and s*** it felt magical
might be my fav first listen of anything ever just for that reason
Glad you made it home okay
Y’all still take sports avy users seriously?
Why do people have a vendetta against niggas with sports Avis on ktt lol I’ve never understood it
Man, like my ex and I had similar taste in music too y’know. That was crazy too me, like my folks know how passionate I get about music and there I had more than a lover but a best friend too. Shordy lowkey pulled me back and got me out some wild s*** I was deep in
Yeaaaa, I’m out. F*** off Abel
I feel your pain, brother. Crazy how shared experiences and the same taste in music can change how you listen to s***. Can’t help but reminisce and dwell on old s*** when I listen to Abel
K enough simping I’m out too
