Bro get lost

nothing wrong with being a pop album, it just lacks the qualities of his old records that made them special. it’s mixed like a pop album, it has some of the biggest producers in pop. i’m fine calling it a pop album when it’s biggest singles will probably go down as some of the biggest pop hits of the 21st century.

there’s no more creative sampling, there’s lush synths but they don’t have the cinematic quality to them that was all over kiss land, the lyrics aren’t as impactful (inb4 someone quotes overdose line)

nothing i’m saying is wrong it’s all purely opinion. if u feel like he’s doing his greatest work with AH that’s fine, just don’t twist my words to say something i’m not saying lol, ik what i’m talking about. has nothing to do with me not liking pop, when it’s a great genre that i enjoy listening to. i’d just rather not hear abel focus on topping pop charts

frank matured better but the weeknd was a way interesting artist. blonde and bbtm is where they changed career trajectories and imo that’s when i started enjoying frank’s music more. but nothing beats early weeknd for me, those tapes and kiss land are special.

early frank is a great songwriter, but he def didn’t find his voice yet. what weeknd was doing 2011-13 was next level

Okay buddy

have any of yall seen this before?

God I wish I was old enough to do d**** when I saw KL live LMFAOOO

you blessed i used to feen for live versions of this song

kiss land tour was one of the best concerts i've ever been to

also snagged the setlist from the show, wish i got him to sign it

i wish all his music sounded like wanderlust bro

ughhhhhhh full show in HD

this album is special man

absolutely, his best album to me! the mood and atmosphere is on another level

I think that is what pulls me in and increases the replay value

great songs, great songwriting and I love how his voice sounds on this album

yes production on this album also is really great, no trendy sounds either which really helps it to age well

so layered too

I find myself hearing new sounds on every listen, its insane

BRUHHHH its been like 10000 years, I miss you man

Lmao what's good homie

same happens with me abel really did something special with this and I know he gonna to some crazy stuff this decade as well

Man Imma have to dm you on ig, my life has been a movie the last 12 months lol

For me, After Hours is the perfect new beginning too

I have a feeling he experiments more once again after seeing how successful a structured cohesive project from him could be

I feel the same way and I still play After Hours on a regular basis lmaoo its so good

Really excited to hear whatever he and Oneohtrix Point Never been working on

its so layered yet a majority of it feels stripped back at the same time. its the little details that bring it together. he created a real atmosphere with it.
