i think the issue is that when u think of any other artist performing these songs it would be almost impossible to make them not entirely boring and sometimes he just extends the beat for a second half of a song without doing much
for instance what you need has a nice intro and first verse but after that it's just a low effort repetitive hook that idk vince or somebody would write u feel me
the party & the after party is over 7 and a half minutes and the beat switch happens at 3 min and all abel really does is repeat the hook over and over again w that one kinda stream of consciousness verse in between the 2nd and third time for 4 minutes
Thursday has even more of these tracks that just drag on for minutes with no real purpose
Echoes does too but only once or twice
So you're saying that they're underwhelming in terms of songwriting but work because of how the production and Abel's voice mesh? Or are you actually saying that you don't like what you need?

yea that's exactly what im saying
its only really enjoyable cuz of abel's voice and singing and the prod choices and styles but a lot of the songs themselves are pretty weak
edit: kinda confusing but i f w what u need
Even the self-titled track? I know hardcore day 1 fans who instantly fell in love with this, imo cracks top 5 of his discog regardless of what you think about the remainder of the album
doesnt even crack top 40

I understand your point but imo if the end product works then I'd rather have that than a song that's well written in theory but is executed like s*** u feel me
This & Escape From LA shouldn’t be disliked by any trilogy fan
man stop, songs are nothing like trilogy

nothing wrong with extending songs through harmonization or repeating a hook as long as it sounds good and fits the vibe of the album
on some songd it works on some it doesnt
man stop, songs are nothing like trilogy
After hours track definitely is reminiscent of the trilogy lmao
After hours track definitely is reminiscent of the trilogy lmao
most definitely not
if youd have said until i bleed out id understand bur after hours? lmao
1. Thursday - favourite song is The Zone
2. House of Balloons - favourite song is The Party and the After Party
3. Echoes of Silence - favourite song is Montreal
I understand your point but imo if the end product works then I'd rather have that than a song that's well written in theory but is executed like s*** u feel me
yea i guess its just like my personal taste
i feel like the songs would just be better if he cut them where they needed to be cut and u could just run it back

the issue is that sometimes he's repeating hooks and harmonizing for more time during the song than the actual song
most definitely not

It doesn't have to be directly reminiscent of trilogy to indicate quality though
After Hours track is its own blend of Trilogy, MDM & KL sonics and is amazing

theyre two distinct sounds
no idea why you think a trilogy fan should by definition like after hours track

I can't make anyone like anything
Often I just find that trilogy fans automatically dislike anything new he puts out just because it isn't sat on the trilogy tracklist lmao, nostalgia for that era seems to still heavily distort the objectivity of their judgement on his material post-2012
Everyone could diff tastes though ofc I respect your view

For me hearing After Hours self-titled track for the first time was just as evocative as when I heard HoB is all
