i feel you but it has more of that world building than any of his other s*** since then. in the same ballpark imo
Facts bro it’s almost there.. I think it’s cuz he’s no longer playing “The Weeknd” if u get what I mean
These songs were not what I was expecting. The intro is so dark at the beginning and just gives you chills. That’s what I was expecting and wanted. Then we get a bunch of poppy tracks. Disappointed unfortunately, but if you like pop, you should love this album.
i do luv it. i understand if it just wasnt for u. personally i try to get into everything abel does but i felt like that about bbtm
What are your favorites so far?
you gotta give me more time for a more accurate and streamlined list, but off first listen these tracks all took me to that place where i had to really stop thinking, dive in the sounds and emotions:
alone again
too late
hardest to love
snowchild
escape from la
faith
blinding lights
and the run from in your eyes- until i bleed out is absolutely incredible.
scared to live took me out of it a bit but its a great track and it fits right after hardest to love. and the "futuristic s***give her philip k d***" bar on snowchild
i let that slide cause the song itself is amazing and heartfelt.
I've had too much henny and this s*** is hitting so hard rn
I envy u.. I’m stuck to these wack as White claws lol
Heartless really doesn't fit the vibe with the rest of the songs on the album
I was actually very impressed with the sequencing. Honestly after hours is probably the song that fits in least in the current sequencing?
I almost like Echoes of Silence as much as HOB
I'm relistening to kissland rn to see if this is really better tbh
KL immaculate cyberpunk simping
Well based off my first listen I can easily say I enjoyed this more than that EP he dropped, KL, BBTM, Starboy.
He'll never top Trilogy, just accept it, for what is it's a lot better than his previous work
after 1st listen
1. HOB
2. After Hours
3. EOS
4. Thursday
5. BBTM
6. Kiss land
7. Starboy
8. MDM
I just like the vibes better on Trilogy and Kiss Land, they're drawn out soundscapes with him pouring his heart out
I'm attracted to music with intense emotion the most
But stylistically, this album is pretty as f***, with smooth ass vocals
I just like extremes
My top 3 from him personally so far is HoB MDM KL we’ll see where this gets ranked
I definitely need to relisten to Thursday & echoes of silence cause my palet is way wider than it was when I last listened
after 1st listen
1. HOB
2. After Hours
3. EOS
4. Thursday
5. BBTM
6. Kiss land
7. Starboy
8. MDM
This is the truest and only correct order:
Facts bro it’s almost there.. I think it’s cuz he’s no longer playing “The Weeknd” if u get what I mean
yup this the fulfillment of the sound he's been trying to get to since bbtm. very interested to see where his next album goes after this
The only thing this is lacking is the truly GOAT storytelling/world-building that his first four projects had
Production is so good tho and I love the way they did the vocals.. it’s such a beautiful cohesive album
Weeknd stans were jumping on me telling me this was going to be his most personal and introspective album when I asked for a Thug feature
