The Darkness of After Hours

What do you guys think of After Hours? Let me know. As always thank you so much for your support. ❤️

The Dawn is here but I'm still stuck in this era

this album is a masterpiece and will stand the test of time for many years to come! This is the Thriller for our era.

It’s a damn shame that After Hours or any of the songs on it were even nominated for a Grammy, this album came out at the perfect time literally days before the lockdown was put into effect and unintentionally spoke about what everyone was feeling having to be forced to be alone or trapped inside and a year later, the album still feels just as fresh as it did when it first released

I actually believe After Hours might be better than Trilogy.. I can’t believe I’m saying it. But, my god this Album is something else

Don't even have to watch to know it's a certified banger.

Now I realize why I actually listen so often to his songs, this guy is a genius.

The weeknd isn’t an artist He is an experience

Pleaaaaase do the rest of his discography

Very underated channel - Keep it up 🙏🔥

I'm a simple man. I see Abel, I click edit: how are you so underrated jesus christ

Little thing that people don’t notice is that in “Until I bleed out” there’s balloons in the video indirectly telling us that he is heading back again to his “House of Balloons” type of lifestyle

I like how The Weeknd dropped the Deluxe and 3 new songs after releasing After Hours for few days. You can argue it's the unfinished songs but you can also say it's not having closure and not moving on despite saying He's fine and that he's alright being all alone. In the end He still misses her and that the only thing he can do is wish the girl Peace and have a nice sleep on the bed.

So his new album seems to be a “party album,” more upbeat and whatnot, but unlike before where he usually has a new haircut and look for each era, he’s still sporting the afro and glasses, though now with a beard and a darker suit. Could this be his AH character’s redemption arc? Or something else?

The coolest thing about After Hours is that the Deluxe Edition offers a different interpretation of the ending. "Nothing Compares" is him saying that nobody else will ever compare to the girl he lost, while "Missed You" is him acknowledging that he still has feelings for the girl and coming to terms with it. "Final Lullaby" seems, on the surface, to be him singing to his lover, trying to help them fall asleep. But I think it's metaphorical, symbolic of him trying to close the book on the relationship, knowing even though he still has feelings for the girl, he can't have her, and wants to finally put their relationship to bed, so that he can try to move on. Abel is a genius and master of his craft.

After Hours is so good. Every song is great and when you listen to the lyrics you really hear what a damaged man it is talking about. I don't necessarily believe that artists portray themselves accurately within their works, but I think Abel really did throw a lot of his past and his uncertainty of the future into this album. Perhaps it's exaggerated and certainly has taken artistic liberties in some respects, but it does feel like an interesting autobiography of "The Weeknd" character.

Only artist I can relate to in his art and personality. His voice just amplifies his art a million times!

This album just set the tone to 2020s for me.
