after hours is an absolutely gorgeous track

Alone Again opening notes still sends chills thru me. He tends to have some of the absolute Best album openers, bar none. This, and Professional are my favorites.

after hours is my absolute favorite weeknd song, in no part because he sings ‘this house is not a home to you’ in Twenty Eight, one of the bonus tracks from House of Balloons. So this one he comes full circle and I fucking SCREAMED when i heard that line the first time

This album legitimately changed my life and my whole perception of Abel as an artist. I knew he was good before, and I liked a lot of his songs, but this album really made me a massive fan of him.

@renftw7238

@@polarhero57 this is a random comparison but imo this is similar to Travis Scott's "Astro World" & Kendrick Lamar's "DAMN", only because all of these albums are the pinnacle of their "originality" without being too "experimental"... idk if that's the best way to describe it, but either way I think these albums are also a double edged sword because it takes years of making music to do it again..

Same bro !!!!!! Best album ever. And this one made Abel as a superstar !

"I lost my faith,I'm losing my religion every day Time hasn't been kind to me, I pray When I look inside the mirror and see someone I love" - This part always gets to me.

Although I love Kiss Land, After Hours is my favorite after Trilogy, because it restored my faith in Abel, he proved himself that despite going mainstream he still had it in him completely to make both music for the industry and for the fans. After Hours cemented The Weeknd as one of my favorite artists of all time.

I'm surprised you haven't reacted or listened to After Hours until now!! It's one of my favorite albums of all time. It really came at a time in my life when I really needed it.

Master of pausing at the worst times, you should wear it as a badge of honor 😂

FYI: My Dear Melancholy serves as the unofficial prelude to this trilogy. There are lyrics and ideas on After Hours (and Dawn FM) that are connected to some of the songs on My Dear Melancholy. Several songs on After Hours were written while Abel was working on My Dear Melancholy. Having the context of what happens before the After Hours chapter makes the (narrative) listening experience richer, in my opinion.

I love how The Weeknd's own discography lines up with the story. His darkest day where the trilogy mixtapes and slowly he's grown out of that into starboy, with a noticable difference in tone and mood. But there's some deep force inside him that always wants to come back to the dark corners of his mind, and I think his return to that sound parallels the fight of addiction, and how you can progress so much but that pull into the dark is still in him. That's why he references "going back to his old ways" so many times in the album. It's an amalgamation of addiction, sound, and toxic behaviors that pull him back from finding himself.

One of the best produced albums of all time. This thing was perfect to me when it came out and it has aged like fine wine.

Man, it's been a while since I've listened to this album front to back, I forgot just how incredible it is. The Weekend created an incredible atmosphere and story on this project that you get sucked into. As much as I love his older works, the production takes this album to another level... easily my favorite Weeknd project and honestly one of my favorite albums ever. Thank you for listening to it Bob 🙏🏾

Bob you enjoy Aphex Twin??? I must have missed that factoid. The Hardest to Love comparison was spot on lol

Ай бұрын

I love Aphex Twin

Looking back, After Hours has aged like fine wine 🍷 An album that sounds like it came straight from the 80s but still sounds fresh and new. And to think this was technically my first album I ever experienced from front to back and loved every track 😭😭😭 (I know I was very spoiled lol.) 😂 Seriously tho, this album got me thru the hardest of time of my life in 2020. I'm so go glad you enjoyed listening to this Bob as much as I did :)

After Hours might be my favorite Weeknd Track. The bass is lethal

I'll never forget march 20, 2020 - I was driving back home from college after picking up all my stuff cause they said they were "temporarily" shutting down for COVID. On the drive home, my mom called and told me to come home before it got dark bc they just started a curfew and cops were making sure people weren't out past 10, which is when I started realizing it was SERIOUS serious. The fact that "Alone Again" was the name of the song I listened to start quarantine is just surreal.

If you value the album whole experience you’ll really love dawn fm it’s arguably his best concept album!

one of the best albums ever made

Something people don’t talk enough about with this album is how strong it is thematically. In my view the album goes from denial (too late - scared to live) to delusion/cracks starting to show (blinding lights - repeat after me) to desperation (after hours), ending in realization of things ending in until I bleed out (also a metaphorical death). The thing I love about some of The Weeknd’s projects is how he uses really simple language and song ideas to string together concepts that have really strong theming and cool ways to interpret them if you dig beneath the surface, without ever sacrificing an enjoyable listening experience

You always nail it with the observations and the meanings behind the lyrics and songs.One of the best and in-depth reactions of this album on youtube

This album holds such a special place for so much people because of lockdown, it brought me right back listening to this with you

Been waiting for this one

I don't think I've ever been this hyped for a video! I've been looking forward to this.

Seeing this made me so, so happy. I can’t wait to listen!!

More Weeknd yes love the video X’O for life

This album has a special place in my heart, listened to it a lot during the pandemic Glad you finally reacted to it After hours, Faith and Alone Again my favourite tracks

I absolutely recommend looking more into Oneohtrix Point Never’s discography. He’s one of the more influential ambient/experimental electronic artists in the past 20 years. He also did the soundtracks for Good Time and Uncut Gems. His latest “Again” or 2011’s Replica would be ones to check out. Love the reaction Bob, you shed a lot of new light on this album for me, Faith is one of the best produced songs I’ve ever heard.

I LOVE YOU BOB! Thanks making my saturday better

So glade you do this. You're so good at describing and observing things and this album is godly. Litterally tranceded first time i heard the whole album. even had to get myself merch from the album didnt even listen to the weekend before it.

Bob I just wanna say thanks for cranking out so much content lately. U have been working through so much music lately its insane and u deserve all the praise in the world. Dont forget to take breaks! Cheers

So glad you enjoyed the title track so much easily my favorite weeknd song and one of the greatest songs of all time

seeing this on my YT feed legit made me feel like a kid on christmas. what u said about snowchild was spot on. car drives, mind wandering. it’s my fav on the album

You’re always the best on reactions videos Bob, thx for reviewing one of my fav album!

Finally, I've been waiting for this!!

Bob has been blessing us lately with all the diss track reactions and now THE AFTER HOURS REACTION!

The day you reacted to the weekend I’ve been waiting for this review

My top weeknd album but who here can agree that the live vevo performance of alone again is waaaay better than the recorded version. What I got from faith was that he only feels something when he’s on all those drugs maybe just a piece of happiness . When he’s coming down is the most when he feels alone because he’s unhappy when he’s sober. Like in the song coming down on house of balloons he mentions when he’s coming down is when he feels alone and when he feels the most pain. which is why he calls on that girl when he’s coming down to get comfort. Also you’re gonna looove dawn fm. The transitions are sooo good.

I love this! I have this album in vinyl on my wall, also saw him live and it was incredible. Especially “Faith” makes me FEEL stuff. Thank you for reacting to this!

Yeah i saw him in vegas when faith transitioned to After hours. He is incredibly talented

Throughout 2020 and the entire lockdown that year all I did when I was off work I just roamed at night in the city listening to this album front to back and watching every live performance The Weeknd would perform during this era. I was even more hyped for this album drop cause I watched him in Uncut Gems when that came out in theaters and went through his entire catalog for this record. Man this is album is so authentic and so rich with sounds that feel like a roller coaster. Easily the best music experience I’ve ever had.

So happy to see you react to this. My favorite Abel album.

final lullaby is one of his saddest songs. it feels like it’s genuinely over

You are real man! I love the review

Glad to see someone discovering this album for the first time. I would like to come back to this moment...

i woke up sick this morning and watched your kiss land and echoes of silence reactions and i'm so happy this came out

letsgooo i’m so hyped for this reaction. this is abels best work to me

words cannot describe the amount of happiness in me right now

ufff what an album, top 10 all time

At the very end of the”Final Lullaby” is a ventilator noise rolling into the theme of death in the following album.

omfg you did it!!!!!

Snowchild is a double entendre for growing up in toronto where it snows and doing blow, he has some fun bars playing with that concepts in the song with 'the keys' etc. Also the light taps are called hi-hats

Love this album, so cinematic and such a cool story, and once you go through all of his discography I feel like this album hits even harder because you can see the full journey that got him to this point. An example would be him saying "Cali is the mission" on The Morning from his first mixtape House of Balloons then on Tell Your Friends he says says "Cali was the mission" and this is off Beauty Behind the Madness (which is the point when he really blew up commercially), and then to this album where on Snowchild he says "Cali was the mission but now a nigga leaving" leading into Escape from LA just really shows how his goals and what he wants in life has changed as he achieved those goals.

Omg I just watched your Kiss Land reaction this morning and was hoping you’d do After Hours soon (thinking you’d upload in a few months) and you did it TODAY 😆😆😆😆😆

33:19 agreed completely. Nighttime, or After Hours, is my favorite time to drive and just escape mentally and emotionally. It's like a gift to do so now, given im married now with a 6 month old.

You’ve made my day. This is one the most incredible albums in recent years to me- it takes a special, well designed, thoughtful album to continually return to and experience the same emotions I did upon first listen. Listing to the Deluxe edition was a fanatic decision- I find Final Lullaby to be a beautiful closing to a deserving album.

Been waiting for this

Hi Bob! Big fan. I’m currently a sophomore in college and recently I shared your channel with one of my classes because a discussion about everyone’s love of music came up. Hopefully you gain a couple more subs. While I love hip hop as much as the next guy, if you’re beginning to journey into music you have yet to listen to in general, I’d love to see you react to Innerspeaker, Lonerism, or Currents from Tame Impala (or all 3). Would also love to see Bandana, Pray for Paris, or maybe a Pharcyde album in the future. All the best!
