During this upcoming release, It seemed we weren’t getting too much information as usual, Suddenly we were noticing the change on his looks, The mafioso kind of suits he’s been wearing, And honestly, It didn’t surprise me that much, Due to the previous style he had, But well, Thats’s another story, Now regarding the album, Here I come
1- Alone Again;
Good opener, Although the transition to the next track was kinda weird ngl, A little mumbling on it, Not something bad tho, Kinda weak in lyric content, A 7.5/10 beat is ok, kinda safe tbh
2- Too Late
Transition didn’t work at all in the beginning of the track lol
A good song, A thing I was noticing once we get into this track, Is that Abel seems to be playing safe on this project, Normally back in the days of trilogy/kissland, He would get more explicit regarding his lifestyle as a d***gy, F***ing certain girls that were high af or some type of s*** like that, He seems to be playing it safe here, Like now he regrets s*** he made in the past, A little confessionary but not as explicit as what he has mentioned in the past... 7.5/10 beat was nice ngl
3- Hardest To Love
I like that he plays both sides on this project, He knows he’s not the most sane nigga in the world, By saying he’s the hardest to love, Good track, A little repetitive tho.. 8.5/10 beat was catchy ngl
4- Scared To Live
My favorite track in the album tbh, Transition was really nice on here, A touchy track tbh Nigga saying he’s changed for good.. 10/10 tbh, Beat is too notch, Smooth af
5-Snow child
A little story here again, This album is kind of like what Abel would tell a priest about his dark past, A confession but not as explicit as he did before, Some flex and a mention of diamonds dancing like swae lee Needed a little more energy here tbh, A little flat voice.. 7.2/10 beat was smooth but too calm from what we’ve heard before from him tbh
6- Escape From La
The beginning of the track is nice ngl, I’ve heard some of y’all that call this track their favorite, Not my case, He’s somehow kinda one dimensional on this project, He is able to switch flows many times, But on here he’s very calm somehow, We needed more raw tracks tbh, Of course he mentions that nothing mattered to that girl after giving everything, Boo hoo, Well just get another girl I guess... 7/10 Beat started good but then it fell to be too comfortable, He gets comfortable and not too experimental here tbh, The ending is solid but overall the track it’s too safe.. Too calm, I kinda fell asleep with this track..
7- Heartless
A hit, Metro killed it on here, More raw than most of the other tracks, Catchy af, Solid track although with lyrical content it’s not the best tbh, But beat and vocals on point, Ahit got raw with it, He got back on his ways cause he’s heartless .. 9/10 Metro Killing it as usual, And Abel vocals were top notch here
8-Faith
Not too much to comment here, Heard this track a couple of times, Nigga saying he’s fighting his demons, overdosing, But still not feeling the explicitness as he has showed us before, Track ain’t raw enough, He just keeps it safe with this project b
.. 6.7/10 Production is solid, But he just keeps it safe too much man..
9- Blinding Lights
I mean, This was made for radio tbh, It’s catchy man, But he just keeps it safe on here man, He’s not risking to do more experimental s*** as he normally does, Guess he wants to keep his partnership with Mercedes.. 6/10 Yep, Not much of a radio-friendly track fan, Production is solid but he just stays on his comfort zone b
10- In Your Eyes
I like this, Ngl since i’ve could see me dancing this track with some nice leather shoes, Solid overall, A little look overall on both sides of the coin for his relationship..
8/10
11- Save Your Tears
Another radio-friendly track tbh, I’ve could see this playing at the credits of a movie tbh ... 7/10 Since beat was nice but it’s still a safe track..
12- Repeat After Me (Interlude)
He keeps playing it too safe man... This track is too flat tbh.
We need RAW S***, Weeknd sounding kinda soft these days tbh...
6.7/10 Didn’t gave it a 6 since production is solid but man.. He needs to risk more b, Needs to get a producer that can help him to expand his sound b
13- After Hours
I liked this track, Although he keeps it too safe b, He doesn’t switch his flow like he has showed us before, We need to hear you SCREAM in pain or some s***.. 7/10 Production on point, Lyricsl content ain’t too diverse on this track tbh
14- Bleed Out
Good finishing track
Not too impressed though due to the safeness he seems to have on this project, Beat was good tho, Vocals were on point, He kinda plays a little more with his flow on here...
8/10
Overall, I’ve would give this project a 7.3/10
It’s a solid project, Not his best but not his worse neither, Man I hope he goes in the lab with ye, or with someone that helps him to not get too lazy and drop another project like this, We need it to be more experimental, We need new sounds, The new wave will be inspired if we get something new new b..

You’re review is okay. Alittle too safe though
I actually kinda like this review, but what's wrong with the simplicity in terms of production/themes compared to his other albums ?

He’s a pop star now, I think he doesn’t’ want to say wild s*** like before due to his image now that he has various deals n’shit
