COOOK 76,406 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 "What more can you expect out of pop music’s antihero? There is not a single song on the album that colors outside the lines he established nine years ago, but his narrow focus has paid off: He’s finally found harmony between the enigmatic noir-pop that broke him to the blogs and the arena-worthy ambition that launched him into the mainstream. It’s hard to tell where the universe of listeners fixated on filling spiritual voids through sex, drugs, and romance ends and the universe of the Weeknd’s tortured, empty melancholy and drunken, devastating love begins." 7.9 https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/the-weeknd-after-hours/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Didymus 34,379 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Can people stop praising him for selling out in an acceptable way? Overrated as hell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle 4 Ur Life 6,698 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I’m listening to it right now. it’s all I’m listening to since friday. Too Late, Save Ur Tears and After Hours >>>>>> the whole album is ****ing insanely beautiful. it’s an achievement. I don’t expect him to be praised at GGD tho. definitely. I don’t even care. I love it. “Fantastic, chic, freak, slay.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's literally in every review. How he's not as ambitious anymore as he used to be but that he's not as basic anymore as he was a few years ago either. Like... I don't get how that is worthy of any praise. He sold out and that's not a crime, but geez. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illuminati Freak 2,432 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I thought the new Childish Gambino record took a lot of risks & was far more interesting than After Hours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
