why did someone name track 9 africa on the first pressing verision

there’s so much to say about this trilogy of albums as a whole

from the themes of party/afterparty/morning after, to putting yourself out there & getting your heart broken/self reflection/getting back out there, to living/dying/death, it’s amazing front to back

I appriacte your words now that mine are failing me today Fam :god
At least you catched on

yup

I haven't been in the thread much just due to being a bit busy, but this album has been on super replay

can't believe niggas doubted the King man

I can't even say I have many 'favorites' off here just because I haven't tried to jump around fr, its so immersive

I know people are afraid of long albums, but he's really one of few artists that makes it worth your while the whole way through

(with the exception of Timeless, sorry guys)

this is The Wall

Rod Temperton is actually credited nvm

idk

but in a way right now thinking about it, the song kinda reminds me of Africa by Toto

maybe I'm reaching

Open Hearts

Your ex tried to end your run

this trilogy gives so much insight into the mind behind the Weeknd, and despite having hits, each of the albums kinda peels back the layers and makes a clear demarcation between Abel and The Weeknd

It's crazy how he had a whole career and somehow is just now doing his 'coming of age' albums

he’s got so much going here, a lot of substance and meaningful music. Feels like it could be longer..

That’s how you know this s*** is beyond crazy

Probably the best album to compare it to in many aspects. It's also considered an Opera that dwells into deep subjects

Niagara Falls

Bro lost his voice & said ain't no throat coat like that Texas tea

I’m still digesting the album. Only three front to back listens. But the songs that stick out to me as favorites so far are

Cry for me
Opening night
Enjoy the show
Given up on me
Big sleep
Drive

Really great album. It’s one of those you really have to sit with because there’s so much depth to it

And this album is somehow just a little bit longer than that

there's never any Weeknd song that needed a verse from Travis Scott. Maybe I'm a hater, But he generally gives very sub-par features

I don’t trust that laugh at the end of the mv, it’s like the child can’t wait to order plane tickets because Cali is the mission

Such a phenomenal song & video.

I really love how personal he got on this

child-like mischief

yeaaah I don’t really need Pluto on that one either lol

Second half of Sal Paulo I keep thinking I’m gonna hear “fast and furioooouuuus” lmao
