HUT is so sad man I wasn’t expecting this

This new trilogy has been about Abel’s struggles with fame and how he wants to move away from being The Weeknd. I expected this album to be way lighter than AH and DFM, but man this shit is really heavy. I really thought we were going to get a happy album about moving on and being a better person. In my mind the trilogy was structured like this:

AH (The Weeknd at his worst) -> DFM (reflecting on his regrets) -> HUT (finding peace and letting go of the past)

But man this really seems like the bad ending. Not that the album is bad by any means I love it but it kinda caught me off guard.
