    I wish he would do more ballads, or just songs that bring out his voice in general. Songs like scared to live and nothing compares were favorites because they bring his vocals forward in the mix.

    nothing compares mixing is terrible, but it's understandable as it was mixed in mere days and remotely

    Im guessing you would prefer his voice be drowned out by over the top production with heavy synths and s*** right lol. The layering on this record is beautiful as is.

    how?

    They were both inspired by Scorsese, that doesn't mean Weeknd was necessarily inspired by joker

    inspired does not equal unoriginal

    all great art usually takes inspiration from previous art

    where the f*** did i say that? and the f*** man, his voice is extremely drowned in the production on Nothing Compares but i get it, because there is a pandemic and also the guy who mixed it has never mixed for Abel before

    Couldn't imagine being a big enough nerd to dislike this album in any way

    I don't think your audio levels are correct man. He sounds perfect. Hardly any vocal effects on his voice too, I wish his voice sat at that level on a song like Alone Again

    In what way?

    His new videos are some of the best visuals out rn imo. Also the fact that they are all kind of a connected narrative is really dope to me.

    Apparently he has more videos on the way? So I guess I'll hold my judgement till the end of this creative rollout.

    I guess Alone Again is fine, the vocal effects make it work. But the album is just way too production heavy for me. That's why I appreciated BBTM more than some of my friends, even though it's pop - his voice stands out on most tracks. Like COMN was a standout from MDM and is one of his best tracks ever.

    I think the production fits this album & I'm happy with it but I do hope his next project brings out his voice more like bbtm & other projects.

    I would LOVE if this album was just a pit stop to another one early next year or even fall of this year. Theres no way he can leave us with this for another few years right?

    albums like BBTM and Trilogy are my fave because they gave his voice lots of room to do the work. Songs like Wicked Games, High for this, Angel, TYF, ICFMF, etc
