Well said both of you. 

We just have to accept that Abel is no longer in the situation he was when he did HOB, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence. 

I just can't wait for this album... 22 days

I will re-word this a bit, I think he has refined the drug content and references but it's still there. The true essence of HOB and the tapes I feel like are gone, perhaps forever (the long lead ins, the long outros of singing about nothing, the tracks without a chorus etc.). That essence of the sound and production made me feel high in itself without being under the influence 

Now we'll have the drug lines over more structured and differently packaged songs. Exhibit ICFMF and The Hills. Still drugs and being f'd up just in a different package.  It is what it is...

Everything else I agree with 100%

Well worded, especially the bolded part
 
My biggest gripe so far is Ed Sheeran. WHY. WHY Bring this basic ginger dude in the mix. Why would he even be needed, Able can sing just fine, doesnt need a sissy boy singer with him. I dont need any hype white radio songs, earned it is already on there. There is nothing savage about a red mop head. if i like that song, it will not be bc of him for sure. It seems political for the white radio fan base, but again.. earned it is already on there. I just dont like sell out ****.

And he looks like a basic bish herb. Cant stand looking at dude. This song has to be extra soft. Just doesnt seem like a relatable artist for Able to feature.

I got no love for dude or the type of basic girls that listen to him.

Remember those 3 snippets from 2014...
First was a little upbeat

Second;"...coke lines, give me head call it four
times..."

Third was him humming/flowing but the best was slow dope

Dude could easily drop a few tapes for those of us that's been down since 2011.

:lol: repped.

I know its just me being bitter but i agree. I was like really??!?!? Ed Sheeran...ok...SKIP....
kiss that drug induced grime music goodbye.

Of course i was like well girls in the 90s despite sounding pop-ish...the chorus is "I got them touching on their bodies" i was already envisioning that drunken car ride home from the bar wit the yambs actually feeling up on themselves to that song.

BUT OH WAIT ITS NOT ON THE GOD DAMBBB ALBUM

We all know Icfmf is drug induced, Abel still adding raunchy lyrics to radio singles...my man broke up Ariana and big Sean cause he told he'd make it feel like the first time

In xo we trust

Feeling SOME type of way.
 
The Earned It hate and cohesive talk is a little overblown. Listen to it before In The Night and they flow well together. Definitely part of the same story, ITN is just more focused on the girl and it's way darker lyrically.

We've heard Often and The Hills and the debauchery is definitely still there. No reason to think this is gonna be a pop album with no cohesion to it IMO.

Also I'm not positive but there's a chance Ed is only playing guitar on his feature. Labyrinth is only doing the piano, no vocals.

Probably the most rational response coming out of all of the panic.

I'm pretty sure that the second one actually said "...give me head all night, cum four times." :lol:

But you just reminded me that we've yet to get the full track for that last snippet :smh:

Just the thought of what his hard drive has to be holding :smh:
 
Chill Ed Sheeran is the truth. Complete opposite content though.

That song "Small Bump" had me :wow:

I wonder what the present day weeknd would say about HoB Thursday and EoS.

I'd catch his next concert with the sole intention of just handing dude the fade if he talked bad about it. On some:
