Mar 20, 2020Perfect. The Weeknd's new album is deep in meaning. The songs are connected and they have the same vibe, that's awesome! Music perfection!
-
Mar 20, 2020incredible abel, the progression from song to song is impeccable; an album meant to be listened to in order, but one that works just as well on shuffle.
-
Mar 20, 2020I love the whole album. the lyrics, the rhythms, etc. Faith is my favorite, especially the outro is great. This album deserves a lot of success.
-
Mar 20, 2020The Weeknd is at his best on After Hours. Nearly a decade since the release of House of Balloons, and The Weeknd is hitting his peak. Incredible song writing and production. A brand new sound that somehow feels classic. True emotion is felt through these songs and makes allusions and references to his own career. Excellent album.

Mar 20, 2020Absolutely incredible. His best album!!
-
Mar 20, 2020Reizinho que nunca decepciona os fãs, mais um álbum maravilhoso e coeso, ARTISTA.
-
Mar 20, 2020Beautiful Album by The Weeknd all of the songs on this album are fire, his lyrics are dope and the production is on fire.
-
Mar 20, 2020without a doubt it is a Grammy winning album, it is the best album to date Abel in production and vocally, it is an album with many influences from the 80's, it is a nostalgic album.
-
Mar 20, 2020Ha sido un viaje increíble. Toques meláncolicos y oscuros. Atreviendome a decir que es el mejor album del 2020 hasta la fecha. Gran trabajo por parte de Abel. XO
-
Mar 22, 2020Beautiful don't know what else to say about it other than that. "Too late" and "faith" and "hardest to love" have to be my favourites out of the songs not already released before the actual album released. Technically I could list all of them because they are all great.

Mar 21, 2020As a big Weeknd fan I was not impressed. The singles are so much better than the album. They out weight it. The rest of the album all sounds the same. He sounds like he is forcing emotions that aren’t really there.
-
Mar 26, 2020I didn't felt any songs, the OFFICAL videos were creepy as I don't know, all the songs were almost same, no versatility so yeah this is not the album I expected from the weekend

Mar 20, 2020Achei que ia ter mais pop e disco pelos singles que ele tinha lançado até então, mas a expectativa não foi cumprida e teve mais trap do que tudo.
-
Mar 20, 2020After an amazing single in Blinding Lights I had to give this album a chance. It's no different than any other R&B album out there. Was extremely disappointed. The beats start to sound the same throughout the entire album. Was hoping for more 80's vibes.
-
Mar 29, 2020no versatility, i feel like all his songs sound the exact same. i get that he relies on what he knows will automatically be a hit, he should try different styles and genres, people will get bored with the pumping of the same song over and over again
-
Mar 26, 2020I didn't felt any songs, the OFFICAL videos were creepy and disgusting, all the songs were the same versatility so yeah this is not the album i Expected, is horrible, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting, disgusting
-
Jul 24, 2020The Weekend tries to much making good music, but in the end this album is awful
-
Aug 22, 2020One of the most overrated albums ever. This man it's like Bruno Mars. They both think they are the coolest and they just don't.

Mar 20, 2020BORINGGGG Literally all the songs sound the same. Don’t get the hype at all.
-
Apr 22, 2020I want to live on this album !!!! the atmosphere created by the weeknd is incredible and immersive. Definitely one of the best albums of that year! thank you for that
-
Mar 20, 2020the weeknd conveys different feelings in this album with elements from the 80's, vocals increasingly mature and melaconic!!
-
Apr 13, 2020Really disappointing. After the wonders The Weeknd has made and with these 2 amazing singles, this should be his best album. It's not, most of the songs feel like outtakes from Starboy & BBTM. At least the singles are amazing.
-
Aug 28, 2020Un álbum muy comercial pero que, si nos alejamos de los singles, hay canciones que jamás deberían haber sido lanzadas. Nunca entenderé por qué muchos de los principales artistas actuales se centran en los singles y abandonan los álbumes de esta forma, que es lo que definirá su carrera cuando pase el tiempo.
-
Mar 24, 2020The album aesthetic is great but he quite couldn't pull it off because half of the album sounds the same (19 songs deluxe version) 10 songs at least are crap.
i can see why his team made blinding lights the leading single is the best song on this album.
Hidden Gem apart from Blinding lights is Save your tears. -
Mar 31, 2020too many special tracks to increase streaming. many songs sound the same and hackneyed
-
Jan 27, 2021standouts for me are the singles. all round solid project and pretty engaging 80's synth pop
-
Apr 27, 2020
-
Jun 6, 2020Apenas duas músicas boa, o resto é enjoativo e chato. O álbum não te prende do início ao fim.
-
Jun 2, 2020Un hermoso álbum lleno de canciones pegadizas y excelentemente producidas. Las letras en este álbum dan en el clavo y le da un sentido especial a cada canción. Un reconocimiento especial a Hardest To Love la cuál es una canción que te lleva a los zapatos de Abel y sus problemas amorosos. Una obra maestra.

Sep 3, 2020The weeknd gave us a pop and R&B perfection album, with influences from the 80's just right!
-
Jul 24, 2020El álbum más arte del año. Aquel que diga lo contrario probablemente tiene un problema en casa.
-
Oct 23, 2020The album has couple of bop but the rest of it is just the same. He needs to change a bit.
-
Apr 21, 2021Album of the year, it's an amazing experience. It deserves all the praise and success it got and much more.
-
Dec 11, 2020And the worst album of 2020 goes to- The Weeknd. Who got overhyped from making a very mediocre album. Future Nostalgia and Folklore were 10000000% better, Bye
-
Dec 12, 2020Very good production ,Well made , Well written and blinding lights is a great single .
-
Jan 30, 2021Thats **** lit.Every song in the album is blow mind especially faith.Lyrics is awesome too

Oct 16, 2021One of the most overrated artists today who sees himself as Michael Jackson, lol. The Weeknd ran to Max Martin, wanting to make hits desperately, thinking he might sweep Grammys. Guess what happened? He didn't even get a nomination, then cried like a baby everywhere. Accept it: your album sucks and no one knows your non-single album tracks. King of payola failed hard this time. Awful.

-
Apr 15, 2020He has written some very catchy tunes in his time and he has a beautiful voice but the albums themes seem to be very repetitive, girls, money and a little bit of heart break, not much variety. Electronic sound is sometimes quite flat, not much punch, using the electronic effects to compensate for the lack of depth in the subject matter. Singles are as strong as his previous albums
-
Dec 3, 2020With iconic tracks, bringing a nostalgic vibe, The Weeknd brings what would be his best album so far.
-

Mar 22, 2020The best music ever from Abel. 80 vibe cover all of it.
Fantasic singing, production and music.
Best album this year.
Never thought Abel can top Trilogy.
Best songs: Scared to love, Escape from LA, Faith, Blinding Lights, After Hours -

Mar 20, 2020Great opening track in "Alone Again" (one of my favorite Weeknd track's period) but unfortunately the rest of the project doesn't quite live up to the intro. Very cohesive and reflective album, but it needed more variation and darker tones & instrumentals to make a lasting impression. I love contemporary 80s synth pop, but it's the safer choice and there are too many of them on here. 7.5/10
-
Mar 26, 2020O After hours é o melhor trabalho do Abel depois de alguns tempos. A mistura de sons oitentistas em contraste com trap que envolvem o álbum deixam a obra bem interessante. Com uma ideia de álbum cinematográfico Abel tesfaye conseguiu trazer um álbum genial com letras obscuras e sensuais como de costume
-
May 29, 2020An artist at the peak of his talents. Cohesive, flashy, and undoubtedly The Weeknd. "After Hours" is a sublime treat for fans and casual listeners.
-
Aug 28, 2020One of the best albums of the Canadian singer and compositor, the album gives an old vibe of his first mixtapes and the sound of 80's. His voice is incredible and the sounds that he put to his voice make the album better. It's an album to dance and cry, and also feel like nobody deserves you.
-
Aug 28, 2020The combination The Weeknd and Max Martin could not be better on an album turned to the 80s, with incredible songs that only improve with each listen.
-
Mar 27, 2020On his most experimental record yet, The Weeknd doesn't completely get out of his comfort zone. There's still a taste of the early The Weeknd, still, this is a reinvention of some sort. Some of the songs might sound similar if not the same, but it's an enjoyable ride overall. "In Your Eyes" and the title song "After Hours" are definitely the standout tracks, as well as "Scared to Live".
-
Mar 23, 2020It's a good album with the good concept, it has the combination of the 1980s and the modern R&B, while "In Your Eyes" and "Save Your Tears" has a synth wave and disco vibe of the 1980s, "Escape from LA" and "Snow Child" have the modern trap vibe and some tracks like "Too Late" or "After Hour" has an amazing production by its complex layers, Worth to give it a chance
-
Mar 20, 2020The album has a charming effect because of the unice, unusual and beautiful sound. The mysterious style of the album goes through every song and this is the reason why it feels great while listening to that. But there is a feeling like something is missing and it's really difficult to explain what exactly. Maybe catchy tunes, maybe unforgettable lyrics. Fans of The Weeknd definitely will like it!

Aug 29, 2020Esse homem é pfto, quem da nota abaixo de 10 não sabe o quanto esse homem é incrível

Aug 25, 2022Whilst i can respect the weeknd's affinity for reinvention ajd fascination with retro sounds i cannot say i enjoyed this record. It felt mediocre, bland and derivative. Nothing about after hours feels relevant,instead its a vapid depressive episode.
-
Mar 24, 2020Amo o modo como Abel entra no seu personagem, mesmo muitas vezes suas letras representando sua vida em determinados aspectos. O instrumental sempre nos conquista com seu ritmo e sua voz é simplesmente magica. Super recomendado.
-
Nov 30, 2020The Weeknd has done it again!An absolute masterpiece! IMO his best work so far!His lyricism shines really well!Best album of 2020!
Best tracks-ALL OF THEM!
Worst tracks-None -
Mar 23, 2020Really a 8. 5 or a light 9 or a strong 8.whatever. It's all the same, but in overall, good. It's the only Who can make this type of 80s music and dont feel pastiche. Mark Fisher will be a little proud of us
-
Jun 1, 2020د ویکند بعد مدت ها سکوت, تونست یک آلبوم با کانسپ عالی بده بیرون برعکس استاربوی مثل پلی لیست اسپاتیفای شده بود.تنها ضعف آلبوم میکس بعضی از آهنگ ها بود.ولی آلبوم سینت پاپ فوق العاده که ایراد جزیی داشت.

May 30, 2020It's a great album but the problem is that has a lot of slowly songs and gets some boring
-
Mar 24, 2020This album is a honest 8.6 great work by Abel
He's done very well on this lp and I know everyone that has listened to this can say the same thing it has many high moments on this top also has a little lows maybe but most of time everything runs smoothly it sounds good and most of all it gets you all bundled up with pure emotions that you cannot help from giving it many more listens . -
Nov 24, 2020One of my best albums during the pandemic. I am not a fan of the weeknd but I really like some of his works. The biggest song on the album is still held by Blinding Lights. That's phenomenal!
-
Apr 13, 2020You can enjoy album for frist time and after frist you will tiered of something like "I miss you" and sad things are repeat again and again on trap beat expect "in your eyes" and "blinding lights" and abel sound in some Songs is so ridiculous
-
Mar 24, 2020It is a good album tho but a bit repetitive ! Sometimes it gets a bit boring when the songs are too long and i feel like I've already heard the melodies that are in the songs in the previous ones ! But, there are still amazing songs like binding lights , in your eyes or savent your tears !
-
Mar 21, 2020The only songs I enjoyed were the following:
Too Late Escape From LA
Heartless Faith Blinding Lights In You Eyes After Hours I feel like his fast paced, eighties inspired songs about himself rather than his desperate songs about his tiring relationship with Bella. Overall, I feel like this album had no direction -
Mar 20, 2020After Hours is a great record that fuses the dark ecstatic tone of his "Trilogy" album and some throwback pop melodies to create arguably his best album to date.
-
Mar 27, 2020I'm an Abels fan, but his last album is just boring. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but some songs just feel like interludes before his singles. It's not his worst album at all, but he could have done better.
-
Mar 23, 2020I wasn't sure i would give this album a 10. At first, i was thinking around an 7-8. But this is his best too second best album to date.
-
Jun 7, 2020Love the aesthetic, the cohesiveness, the sound and the lyrics. He is such an amazing artist. But I missed vocals. He is such a good singer. Sometimes, the songs are extremely similar to each other. Still, such a really good project.
-
Dec 11, 2020the theme of this album fascinates me, a mix between the new and the musical style of the 80s. Without a doubt a great album

-
Mar 24, 2020coherent album. the songs follow the same idea and a beautiful melody. new and good beats that make harmony with his deep voice, good writing and good video clips. good choice of lead singles. my favorite is save your tears!
-
Apr 27, 2020This is such an amazing album, the talent is unreal. Definitely on my top 5 albums this year.
I want to give it a 7.5/10 but that's not possible, so I'll stick with an 8. -
Mar 22, 2020
-
Apr 30, 2020I love this album, the best The Weeknd project in my opinion. everything about this is great, from the production to the vocals to the lyrics. This album shows how good Abel is at creating an atmosphere. It’s a beautiful project and probably album of the year.
-
Mar 23, 2020Maybe it's my fault, but this album would have been amazing if it wasn't so poppy to start. The middle of the album was really good, but the album trails off poorly in my opinion. It's well produced and
Weeknd's voice is amazing. It's a very mid tier album for a casual and/or new fan. -

May 22, 2020A unic and singular experience. Simply the best album that i hear in mainstream age
-
Mar 20, 2020El cuatro álbum de the weeknd, álbum que muestra al verdadero abel, en algunos momentos del álbum se nota un vibra muy ochentera que permite escuchar su versatilidad como artista y compositor,
-
May 24, 2020There isn't a single bad track on this album. The production and song writing are flawless. The Weeknd has never sounded better.
-
Mar 20, 2020I can t say that this is an bad album,it s better than starboy tbh,but idk a lot of the new songs we re a bit commercial and then others like faith,alone again,hardest to love we re cool
-
Oct 22, 2020I think this album is near perfect, it sounds so raw and all the songs are catchy in their own way, it could either be his best or second best after trilogy. But this to me is the best R&B album of the year.
-
Mar 20, 2020Plenty of bangers on here for everyone. A refreshing release after the disappointing JB release.
-
Mar 20, 2020A truly unique and mind bending experience.The dark lyrics,the beat changes,that SAX solo...just spectacular
-
Apr 4, 2020It is an extraordinary album, thanks to its nuances and sound combination, ranging from current sounds to classic eighties sounds, each song is a sea of emotions, it is very chameleonic. It is complex to define the emotion that this masterpiece can produce for you.
-
Mar 21, 2020The album is a new sound for Abel but is very reminiscing to late 80s to 90s pop vibe with its synth pop style. Though some melodies sound same and some beats aren't upto level as compared to others, its still a very cohesive album and imo Abel's best since Kissland. Starboy fans won't probably like this album tho.
-
Mar 21, 2020This is a solid project by Abel. Snowchild slaps, thooo. Now a **** leavin', LEEEAVIN' INTO THE NIGHT!
-
Mar 21, 2020
-
Mar 22, 2020Amazing album.. I miss Trilogy a bit but this album is for sure a pretty dark one with many weird synthetic sounds and vibes from 80s making it really unique and worth being a new chapter.

The WireApr 28, 2020The production is flawless. ... But the obvious big tunes fall flat.
-
Q MagazineApr 7, 2020Spidery 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. [Jun 2020, p.106]

Apr 7, 2020His most personal album to date.
