hate to be generic w the rating but honestly i have to give this a full 5. i feel like it was the last chapter to his debut look, sound, and overall “vibe” while also carefully introducing his new sound with “i can’t feel my face” - preparing us for what’s to come with his next album “starboy”. bc of that, i’d say this is prob the most pivotal album in his career/discography so far.

of course this project had its hits like “the hills”, “often” and “earned it” which is also also crazy to think about because it pushed him forth to a whole new demographic and i felt like really WAS the driving factor into his “stardom” / mainstream career but that being said, this album was a full vocal showcase, had textured sounds, and meaningful lyrics.

Hurry Up Tomorrow

The Weeknd · Album

i’ll admit, like many OG weeknd fans, it’s hard to move on from trilogy and to refrain from comparing all his work to that era but, hurry up tomorrow, is such a masterpiece in so many ways.

after years of the world perceiving him as “cleaned up” and on track, the weeknd makes sure the listener knows where he truly stands. with the dark lyrics of tracks like “opening night”, “given up on me”, and even one of my favorites “enjoy the show” you can’t help but be concerned. he touches on drug withdrawals and constant instances of nearing death but this transparency and vulnerability throughout the album is what makes it so good. can’t forget my favorite upbeat songs on the album as well like são paulo, open hearts, and timeless.

overall faves:
são paulo
open hearts
opening night
enjoy the show
i can’t wait to get there
timeless
niagara falls 🤍
drive

also have to mention, i saw him live for this album and it was genuinely one of the best concerts ive been to
