Damn folks itt really putting BBTM above Starboy?
I can't stomach BBTM besides Tell Your Friends and The Hills
It’s just the way like every person who loves dark Abel and hates pop Abel would say
Basically the people who think he should go back to trilogy
I didn’t mean it in a bad way that’s why I said hate to say it cause I know you have a better basis to form musical opinions than most people
I just like the vibes better on Trilogy and Kiss Land, they're drawn out soundscapes with him pouring his heart out
I'm attracted to music with intense emotion the most
But stylistically, this album is pretty as f***, with smooth ass vocals
I just like extremes
Heartless really doesn't fit the vibe with the rest of the songs on the album
i disagree, the 2 songs before it transition right into heartless and explain why hes heartless
Scared to live still sound like a disney movie about ice skating with a very determined girl tryna win the trophy in her fathers memory..
The only thing this is lacking is the truly GOAT storytelling/world-building that his first four projects had
Production is so good tho and I love the way they did the vocals.. it’s such a beautiful cohesive album
i feel you but it has more of that world building than any of his other s*** since then. in the same ballpark imo
pop abel >
Nah we need Abel to make the same music he made a decade ago
Bouta open up my window and start singing Too Late at the top of my lungs idgaf ima wake these muhfuckas up
Third listen, at Too Late
How we feeling
1 HOB
2 Thursday
3 Echoes of Silence
4 BBTM
5 KissLand
6 After Hours
7 Starboy
8 My Dear Melancholy,
Thank you Abel
I almost like Echoes of Silence as much as HOB
I'm relistening to kissland rn to see if this is really better tbh
We really got Uzi and Abel in the same month
and not just one uzi tape but TWO of them, we really been eating
The only thing this is lacking is the truly GOAT storytelling/world-building that his first four projects had
Production is so good tho and I love the way they did the vocals.. it’s such a beautiful cohesive album
He hits that with Escape From LA but that's it
For those who miss it
Look how beautiful the animated cover looks on tidal

I wish apple music did s*** like this. only streaming service behind the curve right now
Singles literally the only good songs from BBTM for the most part.
Singles are great but you can tell it’s a rushed album
Starboy you can at least tell he put in work to make a cohesive album
Both are littered w mid tho but Starboy sounds more like he’s committed to making pop instead of trying to be one foot pop one foot old weeknd music on bbtm
Going on my 4th listen, what a f***ing album... best since kissland
Escape from LA and FAITH
The only thing this is lacking is the truly GOAT storytelling/world-building that his first four projects had
Production is so good tho and I love the way they did the vocals.. it’s such a beautiful cohesive album
has such a clear storyline wym not even as complex as the others
and not just one uzi tape but TWO of them, we really been eating
Facts,Moon Relate is hard as s***
