    The transitions here are remarkable; skipping a single track feels akin to jumping three chapters in a novel. .... It would be easy to dismiss this album as indulgent – particularly after Tesfaye gave everyone the collective ick in HBO’s ludicrous misfire of a series The Idol – but Hurry Up Tomorrow is impressive for its ambition alone.

    A riveting, vastly effective display of his generational talents, The Weeknd uses this broad canvas to assert the multi-faceted aspects of his pop genius. Unafraid to plumb the depths of his emotions, there are also straight-forwardly fun, explicitly pop moments. For all its undoubted complexity, it’s also an incredibly open record.

    Hurry Up Tomorrow is certainly a bold way to drop the curtain on a phenomenal career, a luscious pop epic about how awful modern fame really is.

    Clocking in at nearly 90 minutes, the 22-track Hurry Up Tomorrow is by turns dazzling and frustrating, with moments of lyrical clarity and sonic density that stand out amidst the heavy-hearted reflections and even heavier synths.

    Hurry Up Tomorrow is pleasant, even though it’s too long; what it also does well is provide yet another portrait of The Weeknd’s fixation on self-destruction and rebirth. The problem is that it’s lacking some novelty from an artist who is undoubtedly capable of pushing boundaries and reinventing himself.

    Arch or sincere, it becomes fairly exhausting over the course of an hour and half. It would be more exhausting still if the music on Hurry Up Tomorrow wasn’t as great as it is. Tesfaye has described the album’s sound as “Frankenstein”, and you sometimes see what he means.

    It's a flawlessly executed document of pristine production and incremental bursts of verve and joy to keep the music from dissolving into its own atmosphere. The challenge here, however, is finding the right mood to appreciate the Weeknd's lengthy and elaborate funeral for himself.
