    After Hours is his most consistent album to date. The album has many moments without ever sounding dull. The lyrics have improved massively. The production is spot on. This album is a ride back to the 80s and it does so in style.

    Superior to the previous two albums. The Weeknd delivers its best work here. Above-average songs: Save your tears, Scape From LA, In your eyes and Blinding lights (I risk being the best on the album).

    Lyrics filled with lows, pain, and regret balanced with high falsettos, upbeat rhythms, and an enticing 80s atmosphere.

The Weeknd’s After Hours feels like a culmination of all his work into an album that truly feels like it was created for the late lingering emotions after the party. Abel’s vulnerability is at an all time high on the album, with tracks such as “Snowchild” and “Faith” showing the world a new side of The Weeknd we have never seen before. A side that is past the glam of his success and achievements, because at the end of the night he is still just another lost soul in the after hours.… Expand

    This album is nothing short of great. The Weeknd is the best to pull off this eighties aesthetic theme, with beautiful synths layered into a a good amount of the tracks and a nice upbeat (somewhat irregular) tempo. All this is pretty new territory for Abel, but it never strays too far away from his unique dark and seductive style of songs.

All this is pretty new territory for Abel, but it never strays too far away from his unique dark and seductive style of songs. If anything Abel manages to bring something unique and brilliant by combining his style with this eighties edge. What this album (imo) does best however is it's immersive atmosphere. Each track has it's own unique atmosphere, making you feel every single beat, every single instrument, and every single word. Each song is like a different part of this grander story and it really pays off. Not to mention this album has a great story. After Hours shows Abel's process of getting over a relationship and all the feelings of regret and torment that come with it.… Expand

With an album more narrative driven and even more desolation than My Dear Melancholy, the lyrics and production was not change from the typical lyrics he has written before. The difference between this and the other studio albums is the beautiful lyrics of despair and sadness as well as the production. This is the best studio album he has made and I am excited for the next one.… Expand

    I wasn't formerly a fan of The Weeknd; his music was too niche at first, and with Starboy he lost that nuance in favor of a more mainstream direction.

    Now, I can't wait for whatever comes next. After Hours masterfully fuses the energy of Starboy and The Weeknd's previous works to both deliver his signature style and be accessible to a wider audience. The instrumentals sound heavenly and atmospheric at times but they're grounded when necessary too, and paired with Abel's smooth voice, this album becomes his best sounding one yet.

    Furthermore, not only did The Weeknd perfect his sound, he exceeded all of my expectations for lyrical quality and then some. From the opening of "Alone Again" to the close of "Until I Bleed Out," these songs tell a story of recovery and healing, whether it be from lost love or drug addiction. Some songs are better than others, for sure, but more than anything each one feels like a chapter in something greater. After Hours is one of the most powerful stories ever told through music, and without a doubt, one of the greatest albums of the new century.    … Expand

    Thanks to the grammys I just got out of my online classes so I can talk about this.
    It is not possible that I just saw the nominations and I cannot believe that this album did not have a single nomination.
    An album that Abel himself named his best work so far, the most played and sold album during a global pandemic and I don't know how they sabotaged it like that. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT    Thanks to the grammys I just got out of my online classes so I can talk about this.

    DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BLINDING LIGHTS IS CLOSE TO A YEAR IN THE TOP 5 OF THE BILLBOARD AND IS NOT NOMINATED TO SONG OF THE YEAR ???
    Think what you think of him, for me whether he wins grammys or not, he will continue to be my favorite and he will continue to feel successful because his fame is not due to awards that are **** but because his work is excellent and perfect and That will not change, for me he will always do the best. AFTER HOURS IS THE ALBUM OF 2020 !!!!!    … Expand

    Esse álbum com batidas que te levam de volta no tempo desde blinding lights até escape from L.A de R&B e uma mistura harmoniosa de pop.

    Album of the year for 2020. Best body of work since Kiss land and perhaps one of his best ever. Each track plays nicely into the storyline and character Abel displays and the production is better than ever before. His performance is superb and this album really presents so many varied emotions. From synth popto rap and rn&b. You'll have a tough time finding your favourite song however eachAlbum of the year for 2020. Best body of work since Kiss land and perhaps one of his best ever.

    This is the best body of work any artist released in 2020. It trumped the mainstream industry despite being released In the middle of a pandemic. It is a cinematic masterpiece and will remain by far the best album of 2020, maybe even the decade

    Impecável. Não consigo citar uma coisa que poderia ser diferente. Esse album é uma experiencia atemporal, e o conceito que embasa ele torna o album ainda melhor.

    The production is flawless. ... But the obvious big tunes fall flat.

    Spidery tendrils of sex-and-drugs-related dread curl around dramatic synth-pop and twinkling R&B, Yet there's also a batch of tracks that draw from bombastic, slightly tacky '80s pop - a warm, funny and wholly welcome diversion from the stylish but sterile bleakness that remains Tesfaye's calling card.
