The Weeknd - After Hours REACTION & REVIEW 

Never thought I’d see brad get so emotional on this one

If we're being honest, the weeknd isn't exactly a happy ending kinda guy, unless he's getting a massage.

When the weeknd sang “i hope you dont mind” on scared to live again, he realized it was an accidental intepolation of elton john’s “your song” and gave him credits

My journey with this album was very similar to yours, I listened to it once and thought it was okay, and moved on. But a couple weeks ago I decided to give this album my full attention and I’m fucking addicted to this album man. Every time I start this album I’m just as excited as the last, alone again makes me ready, hardest to love hits way too close to home, and faith still kicks my ass every time I listen to it. God this album is so good and seeing you have a similar feeling to this album as mine was great. Fuckin loved this video, can’t wait for the next one brad.

Faith is absolutely insane, especially after listening in order. I can’t listen to this album without listening to each song one after another, it’s such a journey

Let’s add another album to the list of albums that made brad cry

At first I wasn't a big fan of Repeat After Me but it's become my favorite track. The concept of it is that he's essentially trying to brainwash the girl, and Kevin Parker's psychedelic production really adds to that idea. Great review Brad.

Daumn, Faith got my boy Brad crying. I feel you man

This album felt like a movie

okay just finished and i have come to my conclusion: first, i don’t typically like this kind of music but you’ve tempted me into listening to it a bit more and second, i really appreciate you, might unsubscribe so i can subscribe again

That description about how this album’s sound is the Weekend looking at a Neo-Tokyo city through a hotel window is perfect

No one ever gives Kiss Land the recognition it deserves 😔. That whole thing is damn near cinematic

Damn save your tears was my favorite song of the album, and even one of my favorite songs of the year so far, guess that shows how much of a basic bitch I am.

Great reaction bro, I’m glad you gave this album another try. I love the concept of it as I believe he’s not only telling his feelings and emotions but also a narrative story of these events. His character realizes all his faults and why his relationship ends and doesn’t want to be alone again cuz he knows where he’ll end up. He goes to Vegas and turns back to drugs and girls (heartless/faith) and the end of faith he ODs and ends up in an ambulance (blinding lights) He then realizes his life can’t go down that path and he wants to get his girl back. He sees her happy without him, happy with someone else and won’t take him back (save your tears) He tries to tell her/himself she doesn’t love this new guy (repeat after me) he then realizes she won’t ever take him back even tho he’d do anything for it (after hours) so he kills himself (until I bleed out) I believe the very abrupt, sputtered ending to the song is the character actually dying. I could be way off but I like to think of that album that way! Anyways, great stuff!

Brad lookin' hella fresh, reminds me back to 2018 Brad. 🔥

Re-listening the album, Repeat After Me is the best song on this for me. When you called it cringe, I died a little inside ngl ouch

Listening to house of balloons will give this dude a mental breakdown

''this isn't the weeknd that weeknd wanted'' bro is spitting

I played this album at work one day for the hour before we opened/stocking and cleaning and I swear everyone screamed to change it just because it was so depressing to start the day with it.

u just described exactly what I felt during faith. I feel u man. much love to u, you deserve it.

To me Save Your Tears is like him trying to convince himself that everything is ok before hitting rock bottom on After Hours and Until I Bleed Out. Maybe my favorite song on the album.

Ooooohhhhh, Im BLINDED BY THE LIGHTS

If you did a House of Balloons reaction I’d lose it

I'm a huge the weeknd fan and I watch many reactions/reviews of his albums but there aren't many people who give constructive criticism AND understand the album as a whole like you did. People either suck tf out of Abel's BBC or just say it's bad because boo hoo "we want old weeknd back"

That emotional switch between Faith and Blinding Lights lmao

if you hear the Deluxe version, you will realize that the ending is actually happy with "Final Lullaby"

Hardest to love is such a pretty track.

The Weeknd is my favorite artist and this is my favorite album, so I’ve been all over RU-vid watching every bodies reaction videos and I can confidently say that yours is the best. My favorite thing about your video is how like The Weeknd you didn’t hold anything back and let all your thoughts and emotions out for us. Really good video man keep up the great work 👍

You better like Hardest to Love edit;: WWWWW

16:35 this is why I absolutely love your videos brad, you get it, you are amazing, and I'm so glad I came across your chanel through the run video, I love you

wow i loved the feel of blinding lights but didn't put much attention to the rest. i wasn't ready for all the realness and feeling that the album had i really enjoyed Faith it fucked me up too and when you said that in your eyes was him talking to himself i almost cried i didn't consider it at all and that makes it more hard and amazing to listen, thanks you for reviewing it!

Seeing a pattern. “I didn’t really give this a chance.” *positive reviews from other critics* “I oughta give this another chance now that I’m in a different headspace”

Good job Bradley I watched your video front back and it was amazing I loved your insight and I can tell you put a lot of effort into this album review it’s nice to know someone else reacted the same way I did when I listen to it👍

glad to see you review this one man it’s one of my favs of the year so far

Loved this so much , would love to see you react to the bonus tracks and his older works

one of my favorite reactors finally reacting to my favorite artists. love it!

Oh I didn’t expect you to listen to this. I absolutely loved this album, especially after Starboy (which I do love but not near as much). Faith and Until I Bleed Out are my favourites, I felt what you said when you listened to Faith 100%. Blinding Lights was a single before the album release and hearing it on the album after Faith (in terms of the outro) really changed the entire mood of the song for me.

This is definitely an album that gets better the more you listen to it. I literally listened to this album for 5 weeks straight multiple times a day. I’m now just coming down from it. Love this album, best album besides kiss land and his earlier mixtapes.

He has such a beautiful voice.

This is the god format Bradley. Do every reaction/review like this. Great video

Yes. Thank you for giving this another listen. Thank you Bradley. ❤️

Legit one of the best reaction/review vidoes of all time. Damn u really understood the album.,

I think Save Your Tears is one of the best songs on the album.

Brad, how bout a Rina Sawayama reaction? her debut album "Sawayama" is one of the best things I've heard this year so far.

This is one of your best videos. Absolutely loved it.

Really glad I watched this. I kinda half ass skimmed the album and pretty much just blew it off because it all sorta just blended together. I feel much more excited to sit down and listen to it again. Great video

Sweet review Brad, I'm not that into the album but I really enjoyed and appreciated your energy throught the video

Do Sufjan next please, it's one of the best folk/alt albums ever. Do Age Of Adz also!

my favourite reviewer, keep up the great work bro

u a reactor that has a personality that i dont mind watching :) keep it up bro!

Super happy you went back to this album, I was the same way on my first listen, I didn't like it very much and didn't understand why people were hyping it up so much. I decided to give it another full listen and it was like I was listening to a completely different album and I've been addicted to it ever since.

Brad loving an album and getting passionate about is one of my favorite things to watch

I may be late to the party but god damn I love the way you dove into this album and really reacted and reviewed this album

Hey Brad ! Loved the video as always, I just wanted to make sure you were taking care of yourself. The ending clip you looked really exhausted and I wanted to make sure you were doing okay.

You’ve gotten more enthusiastic in your analysis I think, it’s great

No shade towards Blinding Lights, I love that track and its awesome that it ended up being as popular as it did...but my lord Heartless as a single was done so dirty. I wish that it got more popular than it did

Wowwww I can’t believe you didn’t like Save Your Tears, that was my favorite song along with Hardest to Love!!!

You should take a look at mother mother 😳

nice review brad, i might give this album another few listens now and see if more of the songs resonate with me a bit more. only tracks i really really liked off of it were too late and repeat after me but this review makes me want to try dig a bit deeper. nice one.

Love this content. Very honest

finally i was waiting !!

I felt your pain when you teared up. 'Faith' is an awesome, powerful track. And I agree with you - 'Afer Hours' is the masterpiece on this album.

is this like the only reaction video with no timestamps for the tracks lmao

I hated save your tears on first listen, but after a few listen of the album it became my favourite track

I dont know why but blinding lights gives me a take on me vibe

Looking forward to 100,000k subscriber brad

my first time watching u. i loved this video keep it up. would love to see ur reaction to house of balloons.

I really like how you consume music

Oh my god I’ve been waiting for this

If you are interested in that dark sounding weeknd please listen to the trilogy, especially echoes of silence, which is a mixtape that is part of the trilogy

Just found your channel I subscribed . Awesome work man

You should listen to the deluxe edition songs, it ties the album up and finally gives a satisfying resolution

I feel like happy sounding music with a sad meaning behind it depicts a scene of kind of doing reckless shit like partying and getting drunk etc. because you don't care if you die

I remember the first song I heard by the weeknd was KissLand when he released it as a single when I was 12. I swear i was hooked right then 😭

Finally reviewed the weeknd

his best album imo

I think you should listen to the 3 deluxe tracks, I think they should’ve been on the album cuz it ties it up more

The 3 bonus tracks provide a little closure to the album, I'm not a huge fan of Miss You but the other 2 fit right into the album, worth a listen even if not on camera. Final Lullaby is a great thematic closer, not that Until I Bleed Out isn't, but it feels a little more hopeful.

Love you Brad

Elton John is listed as a writer on scared to live bc that part where he says “I hope you know that” sounds like “I hope you don’t mind” from Your Song

Great video. I like how your getting into some of the lyrics in these songs. Wish you had for the strokes album a bit more, there are a lot of interesting lyrics on it. But whatever I’m not complaining your channel’s great.

LOVE YOU BRAD

After Hours sounds like The Past, The Current and The Future. And after what Abel been through these past couple years. The album makes sense why it sounds like that.

The interlude is fire my dude. Cmonnnn

I highly recommend listening to Djo's album Twenty Twenty. It's honestly one of the best indie albums I've ever heard and the fact that Steve from stranger things made it all himself impresses me even more. It's pretty excellent

You gotta listen to the deluxe edition bonus tracks, you’ll love two outta three of em

FAITH also got me crying. Such an amazing song

The song after hours is probably the best song ever for me

Listen to trilogy mixtapes and Kiss land. They are a 12/10

this vid makes me wanna listen to the album again and really take it in

Hey Brad, please ignore my profile pic. Hardest to Love is my favorite song on the album, it reminds me of a girl and also of Stranger Things music and atmosphere. It feels so nostalgic, yet I don't know why. I do also love all the tracks, the vibe and sound is just incredible. This album is (so far) the best thing about 2020 for me, I just hope it's all gonna be ok soon. Thank you for this video, take care!

I would def recommend checking out the three bonus tracks on the deluxe version of the album!

Omg what he said about In Your Eyes, I never thought that way, totally makes sense

Also you should react to the 3 extra bonus tracks from the deluxe version of this album!

the bonus songs on the deluxe are worth a listen!! highly recommend

I'd love to see you review starboy or some paramore albums there my favorite band.

Fav video since the BP review

Is the lisp type thing gone? You’re a new man brad

Good video Brad
