    Agree or disagree?

    I love Trilogy and it will forever be my favorite Weeknd project (House of Balloons to go a layer deeper). I also really appreciate My Dear Melancholy as a surprise EP as it seemed to be a return to prime form. However, as far as studio releases, each album always seems to be lacking in some way. Each project just seems a little too poppy for my taste with gems sprinkled throughout, but after 3 studio albums, I think After Hours blends his mainstream appeal with the style that got me into him in the first place.

    Yes.

    I don’t remember listening an album like this in the last 5-6 years. It’s definitely a classic. i don’t know if it’s the best but it’s my favorite

    Writing on After Hours isn’t as strong compared to previous projects in my opinion.

    i respect the recognizing of how great after hours is but i cant agree when sizing it up to kiss land, house of balloons, thursday or echoes of silence

    Might be in the minority here, but Starboy was his best album...obviously Trilogy era still in another pantheon

    Don’t think I’ve played any weeknd album more than Starboy. 2016 vibes were too different :banderas:
