Although it does undoubtedly have its iconic moments, for me the flaws often outshine them.
fav. song: Shawn vs. Flair
My main and only problem with the first two albums in the trilogy was the bad use of filler songs. They simply didn't serve any purpose other than filling up the tracklist. On Hurry Up tomorrow, Abel manages to avoid this problem at first, by making the whole album a cinematic experience and letting the less exciting songs serve as ear candy that fits the overall soundscape and builds anticipation for the real highlight tracks. Sadly, this advantage over After Hours and Dawn FM is rendered ... read more
Maybe you had to be a Mac Miller fan before his passing to really enjoy this, but for me this is just nothing special.
fav. song: Stoned
The filler on this album does put a slight dent in the replay value but as a one time listen it was pretty nice.
fav. song: Sacrifice
The lyrics are very touching, especially given the context, but musically this album is absolutely nothing special.
fav. song: Blue World
Danny has never been my favourite rapper from a strictly lyrical perspective. I don't think I ever really thought a song of his had an amazing rapping performance, only some clever bars. I always thought his early work was overrated, since it was more focused on his lyrics and didn't have the crazy production he uses nowadays. I'm really happy that Danny transitioned into a very experimental lane, where he can display his wild musical ideas without having to rely strictly on ... read more
The production is beautiful, the pacing is just right but Abel's performance quality is spotty. The album relies heavily on its hits, which are amazing, but make the rest of the songs feel a little underwhelming. Basically the same problem as on Starboy but much less of it.
fav. song: Blinding Lights
It's a really nice ambient listen. The production is very beautiful but Mac's performances are often not very captivating.
fav. song: Ladders
The production may be fun and danceable but I can't get behind The Weeknd's incredibly uninteresting vocals and lyrics throughout the majority of this project, with the exception of the opener and last two tracks.
fav. song: Starboy
I don't even care he's always doing the same thing. This is just another banger.
fav. song: Boss Up
A few really high highs but most songs are just way too long and boring.
fav. song: Congratulations
It's okay for the most part but there are a few real stinkers.
fav. song: DECEMBER 31ST
Really don't understand all the hate. This is such a diverse sounding and sonically colorful album, so many different styles and genres put into one big musical experience. Definitely not his best but also not nearly the massive flop some people are making it out to be.
fav. song: Dracula
Not a huge fan of this style of music but I can't deny that the amount of hits on this thing is insane.
fav. song: The Hills
