It’s a shame weeknds voice isn’t as strong as MJ’s 
That man has a once in a lifetime voice, Abel comes VERY close to it though. Nothing shameful about his voice at all

I believe the reason Abel's vocals were processed like that on AH were for aesthetic purposes and were intentional. Whether you like that choice or not, that's up to you
Fam read my post again, the creative effects like reverb and delays and you name it I understand. Even if he sits back in the mix (I get that, then sounds like he is drowning or far away)
But the extreme de-essing and compression so he is lisping is not a stylistic choice... That's a sacrifice you have to do to fight bad mixing choices for the vocals to exist in those soundscapes

That's a fair and valid point. I can agree with that on certain tracks for sure.
Surprised this behind ds4 on Apple Music
F***ing embarrassing for music.

AM seems to be a lot more rap heavy than Spotify which is pretty interesting
Abel lowkey has a better discography than MJ if you take out each artist best 2 projects
F***ing embarrassing for music.
It's safe to say, the weeknd has lost the casual hip hop community. I may be wrong but back during BBTM and Starboy, they came out for him, especially when he had Future, Kendrick and others as features. It's not too surprising though seeing that he is venturing pretty far away from the low life, 6 feet under days.

Definitely. Plus, in the 2020’s “casual hip-hop” is bigger than pop

I’m glad honestly. That community is toxic as f*** and the music he makes now is so much better
