Lowkey feels like the weeknd cares more about the opinions of people like us than the general listening public

Sup abel if u itt rn

Going over their heads...

Didn't get the hate for this
S***s fireeee

this album is amazing
his growth as an artist is impressive

Yup
Top 3 on album for me

The crazy thing is though, it’s still equally as depressing. Did my playthrough while reading through the lyrics and it’s like Abel crawled back into his old mindset on these albums, they’re both filled with very bleak, gloomy, sad content. He just found a way to make the actual sound of it resonate with the general public and to me that is amazing. I know people who don’t like Trilogy or Kiss Land but love After Hours. Music is just strange to me but whatever is going on in that realm, personally for me, Abel is giving me the best treatment I’ve ever received from sonics in general. These past 3 projects have reached inside my soul and just buried themselves there. It does hurt sometimes to see people brush these albums off like they aren’t something special

I think a big problem for a lot of the Trilogy heads is that a part of it is down to perception — The Weeknd is seen as one of, if not the, biggest star in the game right now.

Even if he’s quite clearly still lending on elements of his early music the mystique and the gatekeeping elements just aren’t in his music anymore and honestly I think that burns them.

Think of any Trilogy head you know. 95% of them are pretentious gatekeeping wankers

Is 5am I’m nihilist
I know there’s nothing

Lyrics on Gasoline might be top 5 abel

I would even say more europe - ish sound. Me as one really appreciates these influences. Because i grew up with that kind of music around

You spin me ‘round so I can brrreeeatthheeeeee

Less Than Zero might be my favourite feel good pop song.

Its just so good man

It’s only safe for you and me

I know you won’t let me od

ITS 5AM MY TIME AGAIN IM CALLING AND YOU KNOW ITS ME

Here we go again reminds me of silk sonic

just had a homie ask me who Jim Carrey is when i was tryna explain the skits, I have no response

Whats everyone favourite transition?

he's a lost cause

You spittin like pac bro

i fell off the weeknd a lil until MDM. To me thats when his promise on rolling stone came to fruition. and to me these 2 projects are better than most of the trilogy. I rarely make up my mind on an album so quick. Bu when i do, its warranted. I had a physical reaction these 2 albums like how i did when listening to thursday and eos for the first time.

Best Friends - Is there someone else

But I can't gеt it out of my head
No, I can't shake this feeling that crawls in my bed
I try to hide it, but I know you know me
I try to fight it, but I'd rather be free

the melody is just...

this is what’s crazy to me

The correct answer is probably HCIMYLM into Take My Breath, but my favourite is probably Best Friends into Is There Someone Else? as the latter is my favourite song on the album by far
