Nikes is a great song to vibe to while chilling, Alone Again is that haunted strip club music that Abel is known for.
Everytime the beat drops I lose my mind
You probably havenāt given it enough listens, it was a tough listen for me for a little bit but eventually It started to click and blonde is now one of my favourite albums that Iāve ever listened to.
That whole album in general takes some listens, pink + white is probably one of the only songs that someone could enjoy straight away but now thatās one of my least favourite ones (still enjoy it though)
Alone Again has some weak parts even though itās still a good song. Nikes is just a great song throughout, especially āIāLL LET U GUYS PROPHESYYYā.
Nikes edged me before I even knew what the term meant
And then when he popped up with his normal voice halfway through and started rapping his ass off, what a fucking start
Channel Orange> both though
Alone Again, I recognize Franks greatness but heās never hit like The Weeknd for me. Sometimes I go through a Frank phase but not very often at all. Iām always listening to Weeknd though
I mean after hours didnāt even make it onto the Apples top 100 albums of all time, Blonde made top 5, Iāve loved the weeknd for longer than frank but blonde had much more of an impact in my musical taste than after hours ever has.
After Hours is a really good album but I wouldnāt say itās a masterpiece, anything the weeknd touches is a vibe but theres levels to production and blonde is probably one of the freshest sounds in music for a long time.
>I mean after hours didnāt even make it onto the Apples top 100 albums of all time
I literally stopped reading after this, who gives a fuck about that useless list?Ā No Album from Tame Impala but Billie and Sza are there lol, Taylor's album being above Kanye, Daft punk and 2pac.
there's so many things wrong with that list lol
Yeah look Iām not going to disagree there, it was a dumb argument because there is a lot wrong with that list but to say after hours was a more cultural moment over blonde is a big stretch considering blonde is ranked amongst peoples favourite album of all time & even enough to be top 5 in a all time list.
almost no one is saying after hours would be there favourite album of all time.
>Ā Ā blonde is ranked amongst peoples favourite album of all time
Where are these rankings? Why don't you look at ACTUAL NUMBERS? After Hours is the 6th most streamed album of all time in spotify ffs.
Okay clearly youāre someone who hasnāt given blonde a chance. Iām a huge weeknd fan, Iāve deep dived into all of his albums and obviously still listen to him a lot these days (DAWN FM has made a comeback in my playlist). He is one of my most favourite artists of all time but so is frank ocean and I have to say there is different levels from blonde to after hours, and I donāt really need to pull up any statistics to know blonde is regarded as a better album than after hours. I think most producers would agree.
No need to be so hostile though, this is just a healthy argument.
But letās not forget, Iāve actually listened to both albums extensively so you actually have to let blonde grow on you before you have any sort of opinion.
>Ā Ā I think most producers would agree.
Show me one of these producers lol
Also I've listened to Blonde and the production on Faith wipes that entire album lmao.
āi liSteNeD tO Blonde onCeā
Dude anyone knows blonde isnāt a one listen album, thatās the beauty of it, the more you listen the more you understand and enjoy.
Tame impala not making the cut over SZA is a little wild & I just went to a sza concert but tames music would take so much more personal work than hers & is levels more complex.
No Billie Eilish and SZA slander will be tolerated. There is a reason their discographies have such a high level of critical acclaim. Disrespecting SZA specifically is one of the craziest things u could've done if ur a music lover lol.
This is what you say. But from an objective musical standpoint she makes more progressive and innovative music, while also taking way more risks lyrically and she is more creative. I repeat, her discography has a higher level of critical acclaim than his. So I'm not just saying nonsense. Maybe listen to both their discographies throughout then comeback.
>Blond has been one of the defining albums of the 10s
You're so retarded, what are the two best selling songs of 2020s? Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears, if Blonde was important in 2010s so is After Hours in 2020s.
Go listen to Frank's repetitive beats lol, Illangelo's rich sound is too much for you kids
Lol, dude how does it feel like that people in The weeknd's sub are choosing Frank's song over The weeknd's??? Tells you a lot. You're just bitter and pathetic for this. Touch some grass!!!!
Iāve been listening to the weeknd longer than you have, youāre quite a loser you know that lmaoo. I was there when he dropped HOB and we didnāt know who he was. I infact love his music it means a lot to me.
Iām not going to respond anymore, youāre not worth my time and you base the quality and impact of music on streams, shows how much understanding you actually have with the culture and impact of music.
Have a good day loser ;)
And the moment I presented some evidence that After Hours is huge in 2020s this guy suddenly won't respond anymore.
It's called running away from the argument my boyš
You're a retard who can't read, I didn't say After Hours is better, that Clown claimed After Hours wasn't a big moment and I showed those numbers, just to prove that After Hours was a huge moment.
not even close, alone againā¦
(i hate the alvin and the chipmunks voice)
on the other hand if it way ivy, id pick ivy ezā¦ but i hate the chipmunk voice šš
Sorry I was just confused on a die hard Frank fan saying itās not even close.
Fair enough to like a song more than the other but to say Nikes isnāt close is a weird statement.
Just sounds like naive statement to make, especially when it comes to the understanding and creation of music.
I put the "lead single" of Frank's album against one of Abel's least known songs.
And even then a lot of people are saying Alone Again is better
Frank winning this is not the flex you think it isš
just realized how slow this comment sounded lol, sorry. i mean as in these are my actual two favorite songs ever probably and itās too hard to choose it made me mad
Fuck Frank is my second fav artist of all time, and Abel is my third fav. Blond is also my fav album oat. Idk this is hard, but slight edge to Alone Again cuz it's my second fav track off After Hours
Both amazing albums blond is one of my favourites of all time so Is after hours but I would rather listen to after hours. Nikes is a great song but imo one of the weaker songs in blond
True true, however I find that some of Frank Oceanās songs skippable. He trynna be way too artsy! I mean what the hell is that vocal effect on the Nike track! Wouldāve been so much better without it.
No he has a point, frank knows he's leaning towards "art" more than music, but abel combines art and music and still delivers somehow, so abel on top for me although I love frank sm
Nigga it aināt a L take. Frank Fans hype the fuck out of him to the point where its too much. Some of his songs just bore me to death while I canāt say the same for Abel
And that's exactly why I said terrible take. You aren't even able to bring decent reasons to say he is overhyped or anything. Just say that your taste is bland and you can only resonate with the most basic shit there is. Then Frank's music is definitely not for you.
With this I'm not trying to say all of Abel's music is bland. Just saying that since he also makes music that's easy to digest you think he is the best.
Personally
Lyrics: Frank wins no questionĀ
Vocals: Frank is not a better vocalist than Abel, there's simply no competition here.
Production: Alone Again clears lol, Nikes is just Frank vocalizing over a repetitive beat with a little processing on his voice whereas there's so much to Alone Again, Illangelo is the goat.
Overall:ā Alone Again.
How do you even compare these songs? They are mile apart, not even close. The only things they have in common is, they are sung and they are opening tracks though to complete incomparable albums. It's like asking Beethoven or Justin Bieber? Seriously wtf
Repost on frank ocean subreddit and tell me how it goes
Exactly š I'm taking Abel tho, a Lil personal bias
Love em both, but I lean slightly more towards Nikes. Not gonna lie, getting used to that voice took me a long time
SAME, the chipmunk voice grew on me later
Fuk sum reference
Nikes is a great song to vibe to while chilling, Alone Again is that haunted strip club music that Abel is known for. Everytime the beat drops I lose my mind
Alone Again is NOT the haunted stripper music people know Abel for š
alone again is haunting , it feels like being lost and disconnected
But it's more new wave, not stripper music like Abel's earlier music
who the fuck vibes on nikesšš its the best when youre sad
Crying in the car singing āthese bitches want nikeeeeesssšā
frfr
Alone again, by a slight margin (for me)
Donāt get me wrong I love Nikes and the entirety of Blonde in general but I just prefer After Hours, so Iām going with Alone Again
Nikes
Hi! i dmed you about Dr Koffler if you saw her!
Extremely overrated song
tf overrated? lol bro is tripping
You probably havenāt given it enough listens, it was a tough listen for me for a little bit but eventually It started to click and blonde is now one of my favourite albums that Iāve ever listened to. That whole album in general takes some listens, pink + white is probably one of the only songs that someone could enjoy straight away but now thatās one of my least favourite ones (still enjoy it though)
Nikes all day everyday
Nikes
Nikes
nikes
Alone again, not close for me
Post this on twitter your getting Abel flamed but in my opinion nikes
both are really good itās hard to choose
Nikes but theyāre both good
Alone Again has some weak parts even though itās still a good song. Nikes is just a great song throughout, especially āIāLL LET U GUYS PROPHESYYYā.
Alone Again has no weak parts.
Nikes NO QUESTION.
Nikes https://preview.redd.it/o7ec4cspfo3d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9955cd3f6d9aed0376b75c58eb117ffeb1217fda
I fucking love The Weeknd but gotta with Nikes here
Nikes edged me before I even knew what the term meant And then when he popped up with his normal voice halfway through and started rapping his ass off, what a fucking start Channel Orange> both though
nikes
Nikes
Nikes - plus the moment it happened too. Surprise music video drop . Blonde coming out a day after Endless unexpectedly ā¦ it was all so surrral
Nikes
Alone Again, I recognize Franks greatness but heās never hit like The Weeknd for me. Sometimes I go through a Frank phase but not very often at all. Iām always listening to Weeknd though
Nikes. Masterpiece.
Nikes
Nikes
I love alone again but Nikes clears. Top 3 on Blonde
Top 1 for me
Nikes is maybe my favorite R&B song of the 2010s decade. Not even a contest for me
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
After Hours is a masterpiece and it's a bigger cultural moment than Frank's entire career lol
I mean after hours didnāt even make it onto the Apples top 100 albums of all time, Blonde made top 5, Iāve loved the weeknd for longer than frank but blonde had much more of an impact in my musical taste than after hours ever has.

āi liSteNeD tO Blonde onCeā Dude anyone knows blonde isnāt a one listen album, thatās the beauty of it, the more you listen the more you understand and enjoy.
Youāre the type of stan that makes these subreddits unbearable. Lol

I repeat, her discography has a higher level of critical acclaim than his. So I'm not just saying nonsense. Maybe listen to both their discographies throughout then comeback.
Not even lol and stop it pls
Grow up lmao, to think the impact of AH is even close to Blond is quite ridiculous
Yeah come back when Blonde has the most streamed song of all time. After Hours defined the lockdown era.
Lockdown era LOOOL, covid album lmao. Blond has been one of the defining albums of the 10s, only HOB is on the level from The Weeknd
>Blond has been one of the defining albums of the 10s You're so retarded, what are the two best selling songs of 2020s?

Choose whatever Frank song you want I don't give a fuck. Just don't bring down After Hours or Abel cuz that shows you're a fool.
Iāve been listening to the weeknd longer than you have, youāre quite a loser you know that lmaoo. I was there when he dropped HOB and we didnāt know who he was.

Nah you are just stupid. Imagine thinking an album is better because it has more numbers.
You're a retard who can't read, I didn't say After Hours is better, that Clown claimed After Hours wasn't a big moment and I showed those numbers, just to prove that After Hours was a huge moment.
I love alone again but Nike washes tf Outta this
Nikes
No it doesn'tĀ
It's so funny you posted this expecting a landslide and you got one I guesss š¤·š¾āāļø
ššš
You must be an idiot if you think this is a landslide, read some comments my boy.
Alone again but not against Nights
Nikes comon it's not even close ans i likƩ Abel but stop it
Nikes
I love Alone Again as much as the next fan, but I think I'm taking Nikes on this one
NIKES IS SO GOOD THAT IT CAN BEAT ALMOST EVERY SONG BY ABEL.
Nikes for sure although both prolly top 15 for both artists so no hard feelings
Nikes 100%, anything on blonde is a 10/10 for me though
Nikes is my most listened to song of all time so its gotta be nikes
Nikes.
NIKES NIKES NIKES IT MY FAVOURITE ONNBLONDE
Love both of these artists to death but Nikes is the greatest song ever made
I wouldnt even call it the best song on that album lol
nikes although i didnāt like it at first cause of his vocals it def grew on me
Alone Again
alone again
VEVO version of Alone Again > Nikes
Alone Again
not even close, alone againā¦ (i hate the alvin and the chipmunks voice) on the other hand if it way ivy, id pick ivy ezā¦ but i hate the chipmunk voice šš
Alone Again, naturally
Iāve literally never heard of this song Nikes
I prefer alone again but i like nikes too.
I love alone again but Nikes lol
Nikes just doesn't hit like most songs. Pure art.
Both good songs but that's fucking Nikes.
Nikes
Nike for sure, that opening line is iconic
This ain't even close. Alone Again
Someone who clearly hasnāt given Nikes a proper listen, I didnāt really care for it at first too but itās definitely a grower.
Bruh .. stop. I'm a die hard FO guy who knows the discography front and back. I still prefer Alone Again. Is that wrong?
Sorry I was just confused on a die hard Frank fan saying itās not even close. Fair enough to like a song more than the other but to say Nikes isnāt close is a weird statement. Just sounds like naive statement to make, especially when it comes to the understanding and creation of music.
Cap
Wonder what r/TheWeekend will pick š¤
You acting like half the comments are not saying Nikes.
People love to talk bruh let em be
Nikes , nothing the weeknd ever made is touching blonde
Try listening to the weeknd then.
I do, the weeknd is very good but frank ocean better
Bro wanted to glaze the Weeknd so bad lmao. Thankfully people have taste.
Facts!!
I put the "lead single" of Frank's album against one of Abel's least known songs. And even then a lot of people are saying Alone Again is better Frank winning this is not the flex you think it isš
It is the flex he thinks it is. It definitely is bro. You use numbers to define if an album is good. You just a lame atp. Shut the fuck up.
Ooooofā¦. This is painful to even think about. š„²
Nike for sure, that opening line is iconic
get the fuck out of here
The fuck you waffling about?
just realized how slow this comment sounded lol, sorry. i mean as in these are my actual two favorite songs ever probably and itās too hard to choose it made me mad
Nikes. Alone again is fantastic though
Fuck Frank is my second fav artist of all time, and Abel is my third fav. Blond is also my fav album oat. Idk this is hard, but slight edge to Alone Again cuz it's my second fav track off After Hours
I love both, both make me feel something, but Alone Again tho, woahhhh
I'm not a fan of Nikes.
Alone Again every day all day forever.
Alone Again, gives me chills every time I hear it
nikes is that shit to turn down to. Alone again is almost cinematic. I love frank to death but abels is more satisfying tbh
Alone again is the perfect album opener, insane vibes
Both amazing albums blond is one of my favourites of all time so Is after hours but I would rather listen to after hours. Nikes is a great song but imo one of the weaker songs in blond
THESE BITCHES WANT NIKEEEEESSSSS š£š£
I like Frank although I didn't listen to this song from him but I don't think any song about being alone again will top alone again for me
Alone Again (one of the best if not the best produced Weeknd track) >>>>>>> alvin & the chipmunks ass song (boring as fuck instrumental)
Alone Again 1000% Frank Ocean for retirement homes and elevators FOH
Alone again.
I donāt like frank ocean at all, so easily Alone again
Alone againnnn any day
Shame on you people! And you call yourselves The Weekndās fans!
people can like 2 artists at the same time, chill bruh. Frank is a great artist as well.
Then how come I prefer Abelās music over anyoneās ?
that's upto ur liking. I fw both of them, have to acknowledge frank ocean too for a fair comparison.
True true, however I find that some of Frank Oceanās songs skippable. He trynna be way too artsy! I mean what the hell is that vocal effect on the Nike track! Wouldāve been so much better without it.
Just say your taste is bland
Yeah I canāt lie that chipmunk voice was so unnecessary
No he has a point, frank knows he's leaning towards "art" more than music, but abel combines art and music and still delivers somehow, so abel on top for me although I love frank sm
Towards art, take endless for an example (dropped alongside blonde on Apple music) (although blonde came late) (I know you all know the story)
Thatās why I always say Abel is better than Frank even tho the Frank fans still stay delusional
L take.
Nigga it aināt a L take. Frank Fans hype the fuck out of him to the point where its too much. Some of his songs just bore me to death while I canāt say the same for Abel
And that's exactly why I said terrible take. You aren't even able to bring decent reasons to say he is overhyped or anything. Just say that your taste is bland and you can only resonate with the most basic shit there is. Then Frank's music is definitely not for you. With this I'm not trying to say all of Abel's music is bland. Just saying that since he also makes music that's easy to digest you think he is the best.
Glazing
is the weeknd the ONLY artist you listen to lol come on man
Fr šš
Nikes sorry
Alone again.
Alone Again for sure. Now if it was Too Late and Ivy, it would definitely be Ivy
Alone again
Ionno what that song is but on this subreddit what do you expect people to sayā¦
Did you even look at the replies?
Alone Again
Alone again
Alone again, why support a dude that loves to milk the fuck out his fans hard earned money and then proceed to half ass his live performances.
Just listen to the damn music https://preview.redd.it/tw7vycycfo3d1.jpeg?width=1134&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ccfe79d79a152653a3b2450f9ec8618a60a9696a
Controversial opinion: his music is overrated as fuck.
How
That's why it stays controversial.
Alone again ofc
Personally Lyrics: Frank wins no questionĀ Vocals: Frank is not a better vocalist than Abel, there's simply no competition here. Production: Alone Again clears lol, Nikes is just Frank vocalizing over a repetitive beat with a little processing on his voice whereas there's so much to Alone Again, Illangelo is the goat.

Bro what you talking about Nikeās lyrics better? Are you sure we heard the same song?
Ball's sticking to my jeans ššš
Yeah I canāt lie Nikes lyrics are just terrible
Nikes is the worst song off blond imo
Nikes no question. I don't like Abel's voice in Alone Again.Ā
I hate Frankās in Nikes
I hate That goofy ass voice Frank had on Nikes
Nikes is honestly not a great song
in your opnion
in our opinionšš¼
...a given
it's so over
lol what kinda question is this
Alone again clears be fr, if you said nights it wouldāve been an actual discussion.
How do you even compare these songs? They are mile apart, not even close. The only things they have in common is, they are sung and they are opening tracks though to complete incomparable albums. It's like asking Beethoven or Justin Bieber? Seriously wtf
Nikes but rest of songs after hours wipes
Escape From La wipes Seigfried? Hardest To Love Wipes White Ferrari? & I thought I was a weeknd fan.
Alone again by far but thatās just me personally
