Weeknd stans on here doing a complete 180 and pretending to stan his pop music when they hated it since forever is wild
never seen a fan base try so hard to pretend the new music is on the quality of the old Weeknd
Its much better
they'll be saying whatever his next pop work is "this is his best work yet wow" "no one crafts an album like abel" "the only artist keeping eras alive"
I hope none of that goes to his head because if we get another 80’s cosplay album

save me’s review of faith
what a depressing listen, even down right demoralizing at times. very emotionally draining lyrically. i knew what i was getting myself in2 but damn.. some of these themes are downright bleak as f***. & the music matches it in the most beautiful way possible. a great album, definitely not something i can put on at any time of the day, it’s mood music 4 sure.
i feel the need 2 highlight “faith” 2 get my point across on why i feel this way:
Catch me if I fall, I'm losing hold
I can't just carry on this way
And every time I turn away
I lose another blind game
The idea of perfection holds me
Suddenly, I see you change
Everything at once the same
But the mountain never moves
Rape me like a child, christened in blood
Painted like an unknown saint
There's nothing left but hope
Your voice is dead and old and oh, always empty
Trust in me through closing years
Perfect moments wait
If only we could stay
Please say the right words
We cry like the stone white clown
And stand, lost forever in a happy crowd
like man.. if that isn’t hopelessness then i don’t know what is. but it resonates with my soul on a level i can’t even fully begin 2 explain. lots of religious themes throughout the album. lots & lots of trauma.. it’s everywhere. but beneath it all there’s still faith…
top 3 fav songs
faith - this is my favorite song by them so far on this journey, hit me like a ton of f***ing bricks man.. i don’t even know what else 2 say 
other voices
the funeral party
least fav song
primary - it connected a bit better on 2nd listen, the lyrics are great but if i had 2 pick a least favorite song it’s this.. doesn’t mean it’s bad though
overall rating - 7.5/10
i suspect this overall score will go up with more listens
I hope none of that goes to his head because if we get another 80’s cosplay album
the canadian cosplayer only makes generic pop music these days, no artistic integrity in that man's body

his insufferable stans make it worse too, they're almost as pretentious as me and that's hard to do

great post gaz.

lol. He just appeals so strongly to an aesthetic. I feel like you could listen to every song by him and not have a clue who he is.

how do you think he has 90 million listeners on streaming? 90% of those folks haven't heard an album or seen a picture of him
So y’all saying the artsy horror aesthetics protect Abel’s pop from getting treated like Bruno?
lol. He just appeals so strongly to an aesthetic. I feel like you could listen to every song by him and not have a clue who he is.
He admitted his old music was pretty much playing a character i think so yeah

@saveme said something the other day about how overzealous stans can push you away from an artist’s music. I can see some Weeknd fans having this effect on others.

lmfao. I got the same problem with Lana Del Rey. Maybe if they both stopped being walking tumblr accs I could vibe with the music more.
