It’s to early to rank this album in his discography time can do so much for an album
Facts. These are just initial drunken thoughts at this point. First reactions to an album even more divisive than I thought it was going to be. No denying its creative ambition. Well-executed no doubt
I love that Abel went all the way, nigga is always doing whatever tf he wants
this rlly why I fw bro
2000
Daft Punk watching Abel rn like:

Im dozing off to REM
Oh? That's a very long list. I'd have to take some time to compile that list.
that's why i just asked for 3 over the past 2 years :) but maybe i worded it confusing
It's just holding back them from being able to appreciate an artist's growth and change
Its hard to enjoy something new if you are too busy comparing it to old s***
Yeah, it's wack for them to still be asking him to make music from that time but I get the attachment from the music from that time of his career. It was really damn good lol.

This dude after coming up with the Weekmid gag when the Midweek was sitting right there:

Man abel really is YE level tho, he actually doesn’t get brought up enough for his artistic bonafides probably cus he’s only hip hop adjacent but like the amount of good projects he has is kinda crazy
Bruh I really never f***ed w a full project from bro but im in love with this album
album is really just 42 mins if you think about it, I only wish it was longer

Exactly.
Why do y’all think that for so many popular artists nowadays a large part of their fanbases beg for them to go back to their older sound? Drake, Weeknd, Kanye, Travis, Rocky, just to name a few… it’s not that their early work is inherently better than their later work, it’s that people attach memories and nostalgia to when they first started listening to these artists and miss those times of their lives rather than miss the artist’s old work by itself.
Nostalgia is a hell of a d*** and I wish as a society we can learn how to stop subconsciously using it as a factor in our assessment of the art we consume.
lana del rey would've named this album I Almost Died in the Discotheque.
truly a missed opportunity.
