I think they're about even for me, I might like After Hours slightly more and they're definitely my favourite projects from him. I'm still really excited for this even though the only single I really loved was "Dancing in the Flames". Im probably even more excited for the film.
maybe it's just the culture around heavily-delayed films, but the fact that it was shot a couple years ago and just recently secured distribution makes me think it's not gonna be that good
it's much harder to make a good movie than a good album and that horror movie that guy directed was tired as hell so I'm expecting that aspect to be unwatchable. album sounds like it might be promising though
I do love Dawn FM but After Hours is one of the best albums of this decade so far imo, and the best Weeknd album
They’re about equal for me also - I’d say After Hours has higher highs, but Dawn FM is more cohesive. Both incredible albums, hoping he ends this trilogy strong.
I never really came around to Kiss Land as an album, a lot of it I just find pretty boring and goes nowhere, I only really care for the middle section trio of Belong To The World, Live For & Wanderlust
Kiss Land is one of his weaker releases, but i have a lot of love for it - some of the songs and the aesthetic being Blade Runner-adjacent (hell, it ends on a song called Tears in the Rain). first few tracks are pretty solid too.
haven't spun all his stuff in a long time, but here's my ranking: House of Balloons After Hours Dawn FM Echoes of Silence Kiss Land Beauty Behind the Madness My Dear Melancholy, Thursday Starboy
HOB, Thursday and EOS are still top tier for me with After Hours. After that I don't love any FULL albums, but the best of BBTM and Starboy combined would be top tier
i think Thursday meanders but, but i love EoS. Starboy is unfortunately really bloated for me, but a handful of tracks are fantastic.
House of Balloons Dawn FM After Hours Kiss Land Echoes of Silence My Dear Melancholy Starboy Thursday Beauty Behind the Madness
I feel like one of the last two albums are his best work but there’s something so special about House of Balloons.

Just listened to São Paulo again and it’s genuinely the worst song he’s ever released. I actually really hope it’s not on the album.
I heard Timeless on the radio the other day and it's genuinely the worst song he's ever released, truly horrible
genuinely surprised they've kept the tracklist under wraps. usually that would be a sign of the album not being done until the last minute, but by all accounts physical copies are supposed to be available to purchase from big box and local music stores tomorrow, so it's definitely done
