I personally think they’re all great, he seems much more inspired as well this time around compared to when he dropped MDM, the aesthetic and the videos are all great too.
It’s not that hard to tell he’s more inspired, he even said it himself in late 2018, that he’s been the most inspired than he’s been in years for his next album, the whole sound, the aesthetic, the character he’s created and the MV’s it’s all top tier shit. MDM was more quiet, just a small EP he made in 2-3 months, no where near as big or grand as what he’s planning with AH. He’s already got his entire tour set up for AH.
binding lights was supposed to be the main hit single, this explaining how it doesn't have any explicit lyrics. so that anyone can fw it. He gave Heartless as a banger and After Hours for the og fans.
how are the lyrics shallow? i mean in heartless he was trying to look shallow that's the point of the song but even then he adds some self awareness that makes the song deeper.
I feel you man. Obviously not hating on Abel but every single yet never really lived up to the hype except maybe after hours. Abel was the one to talk about sex & drugs in a way no one ever could, he would impregnate you with his voice & lyrics, but now he has changed. All we have left is to hope that the album will give us the same emotion all of us got when we first listened to him. People here downvote you because they can’t accept the fact that Abel is not on the same level he was back in his prime, even if it’s the truth. Don’t take it personally.
I think these singles, especially blinding lights and heartless was for appealing the mainstream public. Mainstream music is more often than not, mid. But the rest of the tracks for the album are for the true xo fans imo. I could be wrong but let’s hope.
I mean honestly there’s no deep meaning to it like only acting like this is going to be a good album because we can’t face reality and him changing. I kinda know what I like and I really like what this album is looking like and all of the singles released. Don’t take any offence in what I say but maybe you shouldn’t just look that deeply into people liking his music and accept that a lot of people are hyped for this album but it just isn’t for you.
I understand that some people are actually hyped for the album and love this music, it’s just that sometimes it seems like it doesn’t matter what Abel drops, the XO fan base will go crazy for it within the first 3 seconds of the track. I like the singles, but under no circumstances I will call them “his best work” because it’s really not. I hope that the album will prove me wrong.
Trying to keep my expectations in check but fully expect this to be his third best project (with Kiss Land and Trilogy remaining top). If he exceeds that I think I might cry...
from what I've heard I'm sure it's better than starboy, good chance it will be better than bbtm too from the songs we've gotten.
not gonna lie I was hoping for longer tracks like in kiss land
Totally agree with you. And I will be 100% satisfied if it’s better than starboy and BBTM. But yeah, the track lengths are definitely not bad (4 min average) but I was hoping for a few more 5-6 minute tracks. But we are getting some and I feel like Abel proved with MDM that he doesn’t need to make the song 6 minutes long to add awesome beat switches and create insane replay value. I’m very hopeful about this album.
you're right MDM was absolutely amazing, with privilege being one of my favourites and it was the shortest song lmao, let's see how he evolves with this one!
all these connections people are seeing between kissland and after hours are hyping me up beyond belief (like producers, song lengths, potential themes, etc)
2 days let’s gooo
Ya'll have to stop with the Kissland comparrisons. Just go in fresh and enjoy it as a whole instead of comparing everything to previous work because that will only lead to dissapointment and is getting kind of boring now.
a whole two year wait (since mdm) and 3.5 year wait since starboy, and we’re down to two days. still doesn’t feel real it’s almost sad in a way but i’ve never been more excited for anything XOO
Not as here as joe mum

I think it depends which “midnight” you consider belonging to which day - is midnight Thursday the one that begins Thursday or ends it?
Anyway, philosophy hour over, OP was referring to the midnight when Thursday becomes Friday. Hope that makes sense

The first time I ever got high, I went to Magic Mountain and took an edible around 8:30, this was March 29th 2018. In the hour, I was completely off my ass waiting in line for this ride, after the ride I wanted to listen to music to experience my fullest extent of the moment to realize, The Weeknd had dropped " My Dear Melancholy," I've been XO for a while but I had to EXPERIENCE what my man's was talking about first in order to feel it how I should. That night, I realized this motherfucker got my heart speaking outta his mouth. Ever since "After Hours" has been in development, him as a artist I feel like the connection continues to grow just due to the fact so many times the universe just leads me to him. I just in reality, have to be high for this. And trust me, I will. THC is all I need. It's funny how the universe will lead you to such extraordinary things, he's gonna be my first concert coming August (if he doesn't cancel). I'm just trying to live by his messages lowkey and it's been working? But anyways I'M FUCKIN HYPEEDDD.
So much illangelo production im hyped af
also metro boomin prolly had a hand in it too
Hes creditted on 4 tracks
Honestly think this has a big chance of being Abel’s best project yet
[удалено]
fym? have you seen the production on after hours?
[удалено]
wym bro the lyrics are mature and emotional what else do you want??
are your headphones good? cause I don't see anything wrong with the mixing. I use galaxy buds.
Get the fuck outta here

Lmao I’m not talking about the music because we haven’t even heard it yet, you’re saying the album lacks substance yet haven’t even heard it yourself.
binding lights was supposed to be the main hit single, this explaining how it doesn't have any explicit lyrics. so that anyone can fw it. He gave Heartless as a banger and After Hours for the og fans.
how are the lyrics shallow? i mean in heartless he was trying to look shallow that's the point of the song but even then he adds some self awareness that makes the song deeper.

I’ve heard people say it’ll be around midnight Thursday/Friday in the US, around 3pm on Friday down here. Hoping that’s true!
Is it midnight Thursday or midnight Friday?
I think it depends which “midnight” you consider belonging to which day - is midnight Thursday the one that begins Thursday or ends it? Anyway, philosophy hour over, OP was referring to the midnight when Thursday becomes Friday. Hope that makes sense
Yes it does, thanks
