    This album doesn’t have a single bad song. When you listen, The Weeknd takes you to his world. The vocals and production are incredible. After Hours is easily album of the year.

    This man is so talented, vocally and lyrically. really enjoyed this album and songs such as snowchild, faith, escape from LA and hardest to love are so beautiful that make this album go from a 8/9 rating to a 10. Abel never disappoints, even though his sound changes, he kinda came back to his roots in this album which i’m soooo happy about - i have been a fan of his for a long time

    The Weeknd delivers back to back 10/10 pop albums with After Hours. I really didn't think, that Abel would be able to make a pop album as good as Starboy - but he really did. The production, the vocal delivery and overall vibe on this album makes this a classic pop album. And Abel now has two of them.

    In three words- this is it. Every album he made so far, every personality. It all makes sense here. We still have 9 more years but AH is an easy contender for best album of the decade. Abel has never been this creative and real. Ever. This album is just different from anything else available today. Abel is anxious, tired, alone.

We still have 9 more years but AH is an easy contender for best album of the decade. Abel has never been this creative and real. Ever. This album is just different from anything else available today. Abel is anxious, tired, alone. He feels that he lost his identity inside this Hollywood life. He is tired of LA girls and knows that deep down he is the snowchild from Toronto. Every song is guaranteed to make you feel something, but i have to mention especially Alone Again, Snowchild and Faith. For me these songs solitify Abel as, hands down, the most talented artist of this generation. If you're heartbroken, alone, anxious or tired this album is your remedy. Every song, even when some lyrics fall short , is a piece in a tale of emotions and pain that you simply cannot stop feeling the protagonist of. We are all alone together, and Abel says the words we didnt manage to describe. A solitifed living legend and a modern classic of an album.… Expand

    The best album of 2020 without a doubt, today is the 1st anniversary and I'm still trapped in the story of the red suit guy. The Weekend's voice and the production still give me chills in some moments of that night in Vegas.

    If someone didn't know his name, after this album who does not? Call out his name, you better know he meant it.

    I love albums that tell a story and this is one of my favourites. His voice is great and the Production is really retro and Varied.

    I feel like this is The Weeknd’s best work yet. With him bringing back the vibes I had when listening to his early works like trilogy and kiss land, even while keeping the flow he has today on the album. It’s just a masterpiece, something never made before never seen before. It explains his struggles after making it big in Hollywood, about break ups and drugs (again), and much more.

    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.
