“stadium-filling superstar prepares to move on”
“Abel Tesfaye gives his sordid, heartbroken pop-star persona a long, opulent finale: He’s going out on top by hitting rock bottom.”
“Abel Tesfaye's "final" album as The Weeknd overstays its welcome”

“I couldn’t believe how disappointed I was with this album at release but I finally get it. Separate it from the rest of The Weeknds discography especially his last two releases ’After Hours’ & ‘Dawn FM’ and you realise how great this album actually is. The production paired with some insane vocals create this grand, cinematic experience. Seeing it live on tour also makes you appreciate it a lot more as well. Top songs are “Wake Me Up” ft Justice “Sao Paulo” “Open Hearts” “Enjoy The Show” ft Future “Given Up On Me” “I Can’t Wait To Get There” “Timeless” ft Playboi Carti “Niagara Falls” “Take Me Back To LA” “The Abyss” ft Lana Del Ray “Without a Warning””
“Phenomenal album start to finish. Whole tracklist feels like a move. Everything flows so well and the transitions are beautiful between songs especially on the first half. Songs like Niagara falls, cry for me and the abyss are my favourites but they are all incredible. I never stop revisiting the album. Every song is a masterpiece. The features are perfect as well. One of the best albums I have ever listened to. Robbed off a grammy. I also think given up on me is the greatest song the weeknd has ever released. The only criticism I have is give me mercy and drive are quite weak cuts but are enjoyable when listening in full.”
“Hurry Up Tomorrow is The Weeknd best album. The story he tells in this album seems like a summary of his life and also a message to his future self. Not to mention that song sounds like a continuation of previous songs from his earlier albums. A true masterpiece 🖤”
“Some songs are so unnecessary but deep down I hear a really compelling and artistic record.”
