I thought the same thing, 'HOB' was great, and then I was like ehhh...but, nah, the rest are fire, it's just different, the songs didn't jump out as me as great, the first time, but I went back, and 'EOS', and 'Thursday' are just as good. They all have slightly different styles, with 'EOS' being the darkest, probably, 'Montreal' and 'Outside' are two of my favorite tracks, ever, from him. None of them are flawless, imo, but the dude is the best r&b doing it, him and Frank Ocean.

yep hob was better than the other 2 tapes. thats cuz the producer he fukked over had something to do with it. he created the concept of "the weeknd" and the whole dark rnb sound. abel needs to make amends and get this on his new release.

glad i'm not the only one who thought that. HoB was my album of the year that year, but everything since was just :snooze:

Echoes is slept on. Everything from 'Outside' is just fukking crack. HOB was def album of the year for me though.

The Dj at this club I was at played 'Wicked Games' as the closing song, at like 2 Am a few months ago, I was surprised, I wanted to go tell that dude thanks, perfect song for the environment, but everyone is so out of it by that point, doubt they could appreciate it's lyrics.
