The progression on The Abyss and then the Lana outro, oh my f***ing god...This album is a classic man

Why would I do that though

You paid Weeknd x carti prices for a Weeknd tour tho that can’t be a good thing

Is Open Hearts the best Abel x Max Martin collab

The 2 max/oscar songs on the standard album are far superior

Blinding Lights does exist I’m afraid

I’m hesitant to say yes, because I am not certain which other songs are included under that umbrella, but I think I like it more than the After Hours ones for the most part

this might be the most well received weeknd album ever despite the lack of massive hits

Set my heart on fire

Transitions work perfectly I got it here

Are we talking critics or the general public? Because for the former, Dawn FM is his best received

The Album is great but I am just not as suicidal man. I really can't listen to it anymore. I dont want that energy

Listen to the last track and repent my brother

It doesn't kill an hours 1+ of haunting death flags.

I listened to the album like 4 times but now I am dont want that energy.

death is already everywhere dont need that in my cope in Music

yeah I feel you on that brother, it's a very heavy and spiritual album

Yessir

“The album’s 80-plus minutes are a victory lap, and the Weeknd and his collaborators are at the peak of their powers.”

Wouldn't mind a jazz album from him when he returns to music

fun fact
i saw Justice live yesterday (it was fire)

and in the opening there was a DJ set from Pedro Winter and two other guys from Ed Banger Records
the first track they played was... Wake Me Up, featuring Justice

I've been thinking why he said the entire trilogy would be toured under the name 'After Hours till Dawn', even though there's no clear reference to 'Hurry Up Tomorrow' in it

he's grossed around $350million to date under that tour name, meaning it's one of the highest grossing tour by a black artist. the numbers on this seem a bit messy, but it seems Beyonce is clear first, even though some articles suggest Abel was top for a while

not changing the tour name, he's basically going to over 2x the $350million as he'll do the entire tour again in all the same regions (perhaps more). so at say $700million, according to google he'd at least be in the top 10 grossing tours of ALL TIME.

anyone else have any theories/thoughts?

this is 100% the reason

i've been lucky to have seen Abel perform from his first show in London and every era since, so had been thinking to visit Toronto to see him perform as 'The Weeknd' one last time just to basically close the chapter

but also i'm sceptical as to whether he won't do some sort of farewell tour/show off the back of this after EU/Asia in 2026-2027 lol

I'm not joking The Idol is a masterpiece once you watch it as if its a comedy
