    this is seriously my favorite project made by abel. he has matured his sound into something ethereal and with even darker lyrics and a darker message than before.

    This album is absolutely immaculate. If Trilogy was the new form of art being introduced to the culture, this album is the perfection of that art form. From the production to the effect on Abel’s voice from every breath he takes from the start to end, this has to be one of his best, if not best project.

    It is an extraordinary album, thanks to its nuances and sound combination, ranging from current sounds to classic eighties sounds, each song is a sea of ​​emotions, it is very chameleonic. It is complex to define the emotion that this masterpiece can produce for you.

Porém, ou analisar melhor o mesmo, por mais que o álbum em si, mantenha a identidade e a essência artística do The Weeknd, o mesmo me deixou um gostinho da sonoridade de seus antigos álbuns, como se tivesse reciclado músicas antigas e descartadas do Starboy e do Beauty Behind The Madness, porém, dessa vez, adaptando-as para um clima mais sombrio. Toda essa produção trás um contraste forte para o universo perturbador e psicodélico de suas letras melancolias que retratam uma fase dolorida na vida do The Weeknd, qual grita em suas confissões. Mesmo obtendo músicas com batidas mais dançantes. Ainda assim, por mais que eu esperava algo diferente e um pouco mais, o álbum trás uma narração sombria que vale a pena dar atenção, mesmo que a identidade sonora que o msm trás, não tenha me impressionado e agradado tanto.

    He dabbles so much into '80s nostalgia that he almost rick-rolled us. The songs that don't sound like Tears For Fears B-sides sound like Trilogy B-sides. Why do so much artists see the start of the '20s as an incentive to go back to their roots? Or is it just that they feel obliged to release something?

    This album opens with a track that has a bit muffled vocals. Production makes it sound like it's not even Abel who's singing.

But I can't even understand anything with the vocals. Fortunately, the album picks up from there. Abel's new mix of music combines his old style with teed bits of 80's new wave sprinkled out. Like on the thriller Blinding Lights with some very 80's synth lead melodies that bring back memories of Take On Me. Very catchy mixing in R&B style for the rest of the album.… Expand

    On his most experimental record yet, The Weeknd doesn't completely get out of his comfort zone. There's still a taste of the early The Weeknd, still, this is a reinvention of some sort. Some of the songs might sound similar if not the same, but it's an enjoyable ride overall. "In Your Eyes" and the title song "After Hours" are definitely the standout tracks, as well as "Scared to Live".

    I'm an Abels fan, but his last album is just boring. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but some songs just feel like interludes before his singles. It's not his worst album at all, but he could have done better.

    O After hours é o melhor trabalho do Abel depois de alguns tempos. A mistura de sons oitentistas em contraste com trap que envolvem o álbum deixam a obra bem interessante. Com uma ideia de álbum cinematográfico Abel tesfaye conseguiu trazer um álbum genial com letras obscuras e sensuais como de costume

    It’s a hazy, gloomy, yet luxurious midnight ride of an album with some truly beautiful and heartbreaking moments (“Hardest to Love” is simply breathtaking). With its painfully introspective lyrics and impressive, retro tendencies, this dark yet glimmering musical gem serves as the perfect soundtrack for lonely cocktail parties in isolation.

The songs flow well between them, the writing and vocals are also really good! Even if some of the melodies, the more you listen to them, the more you realize they are similar, most of the songs remain cohesive and coherent to the main topic of Abel's feelings.This album was amazing, it exceeded all my expectations.

    The album aesthetic is great but he quite couldn't pull it off because half of the album sounds the same (19 songs deluxe version) 10 songs at least are crap.

    i can see why his team made blinding lights the leading single is the best song on this album.
    Hidden Gem apart from Blinding lights is Save your tears.

And as soon as that lyric was uttered I was enthralled by this album from the get-go. The way Tesfaye croons over these trap beats; you can hear the heartbreak in his voice, and that struggle he feels to get his feelings out of his mouth. Now a lot of people who've listened to only Starboy will say that all of The Weeknds songs sound the same. So the fair question to ask when listening is "do these songs blend together?" And I definitely think they do not, The Weeknd maintains the theme throughout the album, without sounding like he copy pasted two songs. And while a lot of the songs sound very fresh and smooth, some of my issues with this album lie in the tracks "Snowchild", and "Escape From L.A." I feel as though if you just listened to these tracks off this record and no other tracks, you would probably think that this is just another Weeknd copy pasta. Not saying that the songs aren't good, I just felt that these tracks were a tiny bit disappointing considering the songs that came before them. On that note, some of my favorites from the album included, "Scared To Live", "Hardest to Love", "Too Late", "In Your Eyes", and "Save Your Tears". I enjoyed nearly every song on this album though. This album most definitely lived up to the hype ahead of it's release, and The Weeknd very much earns his 9/10… Expand

    This is the first masterpiece of this decade, the production, lyrics and everything are high level. Can´t wait what The Weeknd does next.

    You won a new fan.

    Masterpiece.

    He’s finally perfect the sound he’s been aiming since his commercial debut. A perfect blend of ominous, powerful production with the lyricism his fans love him for.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Um álbum dividido entre a luz e a escuridão,tendo a faixa titulo "after hours" e "Until I Bleed Out" mais misteriosas,enquanto a estética dos anos oitenta se mantém em "faith" , "Blinding Lights" , "In Your Eyes" e "Save Your Tears" ,tendo em vista a adição de saxofone em "In Your Eyes". É um álbum coeso e que supera as expectativas de quem ouve.… Expand

    All tracks represent a feeling he was going through. As a listener you are able to feel the pain and the happiness the artist was going through. You can find love, fear, friends, enemies, violence, dancing, sex, demons, angels, loneliness, and togetherness all in this album.

    Beautiful don't know what else to say about it other than that. "Too late" and "faith" and "hardest to love" have to be my favourites out of the songs not already released before the actual album released. Technically I could list all of them because they are all great.

    Wow. This has to be The Weeknd’s best full length album since Kiss Land. The way he tells a story throughout the duration of the album. The production by Metro Boomin, Lilangelo, Max Martin, and etc is nearly perfect for the album’s theme. To top this all off The Weeknd delivers incredible vocals throughout the entire album.

    If you don't like this album, just try to listen again. You'll realise what I'm trying to say. This is a real masterpiece and all the songs are NOT same. You have to be earless to say that. 9.6/10

    Amazing album.. I miss Trilogy a bit but this album is for sure a pretty dark one with many weird synthetic sounds and vibes from 80s making it really unique and worth being a new chapter.

    Álbum incrível, o perfeito contraste entre os anos 80 e o rnb contemporâneo, letras pessoais e incríveis, além de uma sonoridade que te leva a ter muitos sentimentos, os sintetizadores, todos os detalhes, os vocais agudos, tudo nesse álbum é perfeito.

    As a big Weeknd fan I was not impressed. The singles are so much better than the album. They out weight it. The rest of the album all sounds the same. He sounds like he is forcing emotions that aren’t really there.

    The only songs I enjoyed were the following:
    Too Late Escape From LA
    Heartless Faith Blinding Lights In You Eyes After Hours I feel like his fast paced, eighties inspired songs about himself rather than his desperate songs about his tiring relationship with Bella. Overall, I feel like this album had no direction

    The album is a new sound for Abel but is very reminiscing to late 80s to 90s pop vibe with its synth pop style. Though some melodies sound same and some beats aren't upto level as compared to others, its still a very cohesive album and imo Abel's best since Kissland. Starboy fans won't probably like this album tho.

    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.
