Whenever I mention this stans get triggers and say s*** like "he isn't sad anymkre" or he evolved, you're stuck in the past etc.
I think this is a real weird take. Objectively Abels music to this day is still....SAD. his topics are still about betrayal, d****, heart break and sadness.
Literally bro. What evolved? His lyrics didn't tbh. Melodies even on fast beats have similarities to his OG tapes, just higher reguster or slightly different.
He makes the same melancholy music except now he does it on completely different beats.
Why do people always say this s*** ? It's the same content on different production. Some of us just love that rnb sound from trilogy and don't like pop and synth. Simple as that.
Take care to NWTS was evolution
Trilogy to Kissland even was evolution
Nostalgia ultra to channel orange is evolution.
They keep the same foundational sound and grow it and evolve it.
Kissland to bbtm or starboard is literally just switching genres/producers
Will never have an issue with someone preferring Trilogy over his new stuff, it’s only annoying when fans somehow convince themselves whatever the next album is will sound just like Trilogy then tell us repeatedly that he’s fallen off when they’re wrong once again lol
everyone has their own opinion. its great that he got equal amount of fans that prefer either his old or new music
You said hear me out like this is some groundbreaking opinion we couldn’t possibly wrap our heads around or understand
Have you heard Gasoline?!
It's five AM, my time again
I've soakin' up the moon, can't sleep
I thought everyone still felt that way
new s*** is closer than I ever thought to hitting those highs so im happy

That's fine my exact point.

He for sure has moments whwre I get that melancholy sound back. AFTER Hours is an album that did that for me. I just get annoyed when people say he evolved. He just changed genres of music.

Damn fm? Really? I felt that feeling with after hours the most. Bbtm starboy damn fm is not it for me. Don't get me wrong tho, I'm not saying it's bad music it's just not the same sound

Yet you said Trilogy is miles better
Its not better at all IMO, its just different. Dawm FM is far his most polished and lush sounding album, if the sound isn't for you, that's cool, but the quality is certainly there.

It's better bro objectively. Trilogy changed the entire sound of rnb. I guess what I mean by better is it was extremely unique. When I first heard HoB it was unlike anything I had ever heard. The sound was very original and the flows were out of this world on Docs and Illangellos production.
BBTM dawn fm or even lots of songs on starboy at amazing songs, and much more polished and perfected but to me they aren't that unique. Can't feel my face could have been a Bruno Mars song or any other pop artists with a good voice. Does that make sense?
Trilogy sound can't and still hasn't been fully replicated by any other artist since.
