I'm really disappointed into what The Weeknd is becoming. All the songs lately are so poppy, just trying to please a bigger majority of people. His music was so much better during trilogy and kiss land when it was darker about the drugs and hoes. Wish he would have stayed true to how his music started.

Can The Weeknd pls stop hitting up Lana for a feature

The 2 songs hes done with her have been total ass
>>
A Lonely Night really hits that 80s synthpop vibe
>>
Kissland was the album where The Weeknd was trying to bring that dark/ambient R&B to the mainstream. Unfortunately it didn't work just right. Which is a shame because I loved that album. I feel like if he gave it one more go he would've succeeded. But he decided to take the easy way to popstardom. Kind of a shame, and so far on Starboy he's continuing what he did with Beauty Behind the Madness. Take that as you will.
>>
>>69269158
no stargirl is great
>>
>>69269198
I think it's more like he's taking what he did on BBtM and making it better and more his. Some of the tracks on here are pretty basic radio tunes but a lot of this album really has identity so far IMO
>>
I want to like it so bad, but so far it all just seems pretty weak :/
>>
wow that Lana del Rey interlude is BAAAAAAD
>>
Anyone notice how his flow on Six Feet Under is pretty much exactly the same as his flow on Low Life?

Especially that 2nd verse. Replace "She don't depend on anybody" with "I turn the Ritz into a pole house.." and go from there

Nothing Without You is the worst song he has ever made and I hope I never hear it again

I wouldn't say he's dark. But he's alternative. This guy named bLAck pARty released an R&B project called Mango recently. I believe he's affiliated with Childish Gambino and his Royalty collective.

He's a like...a tropical Frank Ocean. He shows some promise.

Hard to pick a good song when every song from the album sucks.
>>
My ranking of this album after 1 full listen:
Trilogy > BBTM > Kiss Land = Starboy

MANY songs sound too similar; it has the Views problem of too many songs. There's also pretty much no rnb on this, all pop. The only songs I would call rnb would be All I Know and Die For You, but that's a huge reach. The Old Weeknd doesn't exist here at all
>>
>>69269689
1. Secrets
2. Die For You
3. True Colors

he sounds like bruno mars now, really retarded

the first and last song are the only good ones, which both incidentally feature Daft Punk. They should have made the whole album together.

Rockin is a bop t.bh

>I’m kinda lost on The Weeknd discussion that I’ve been hearing for the past two albums, which is sort of reflected in much of what’s been said above. Ever since Trilogy, while many have seen his music becoming more evolved, I’ve heard it trending more monochrome and monolithic and impenetrable, a vast, palatial swirl of sumptuously familiar pop-R&B sounds tweaked a bit here and there. His falsetto seems less creepily distinctive, less vampiric (to nod to Simon) – hence all the justifiable Michael Jackson comparisons. The scenarios of the songs strike me as less visually memorable, more like generic romantic pop-star vignettes. We moved from skeevy rented rooms to cathedrals and stadiums. I know I’m supposed to admire his maturation away from those temporal tales of drug-sodden, near-suicidal misogyny, but mostly I hear that evolution as the necessary compromise of a guy who wanted to be a superstar more than he wanted to be an eccentric mid-level artist. Early on, his boastfulness was stuffed with narcotic self-loathing (which in its naked openness felt unusual for such polished-sounding R&B), and which was also intriguing (and more easy for me to relate to, I suppose, as a self-loathing once-druggie who has spent time in skeevy rented rooms), but now the comfortable multi-car boastfulness seems just so typical. He’s an extremely talented guy, whom I’m still interested in, but I can’t share the group’s excitement for this track. It feels luxurious and performative. He’s now a guy who’s welcoming us to a tour of his manse, swooning spectacularly, and then returning to his boudoir where Drake’s accountant is giving him the 10 a.m. investment update. And Daft Punk, well, they’re lurking around somewhere, probably in the studio, checking serial numbers.

Welp I got up to track 11 and that's when I started jumping through the tracks. I just stopped caring. I did not like what I was listening to.

>Kendrick didn't really add much interesting on Sidewalks.
>Take Lana Del Rey off Stargirl Interlude and I'd like it more.
>Future is fucking awful on Six Feet Under and had no place being on there. The track itself was shit, but he just made it even worse.
>True Colors was boring
>Rockin and Secrets have the same sort of vibe, I like them, but there's no need to have those two tracks back to back.
>Why is The Weeknd abusing autotune on this? He really has zero reason to use that shit.
>Die For You just sounds so off (In terms of subject matter) if you've been listening to The Weeknd since House of Balloons.

The biggest problem about this album to me is that it's just too fucking long and it's so same-y. Now The Weeknd normally has albums that are like an hour long, that's nothing new. But at least there's a variety of sounds within the project. With this it's very few and far between.

i'd have imagined that most house of balloons era fans stopped listening to him a while ago out of sheer disappointment. i know i did.

>>69270179
If you want me to say something good I liked Starboy, False Alarm, I Feel It Coming, Rockin, Party Monster, Secrets, and Die For You.

You ever think the reason why I'm saying mainly bad thing about the album because it's a pretty bad fucking album? This is 4Chan, not a writing course so you can fuck right off with that shit.
>>
>>69270257
2d girls dont count anon
>>
>>69270255
The main reason why I gave him a shot is because the title track was a pretty nice return to form. And even in the video it's him killing off that old pop version of him from BBTM. Of course that was just a trick and I fell for that like an idiot.

>>
>>69270067

what the fuck six feet under is just a low life remix
same feature + same flow from both of them and the beat is nearly identical

>>69270255
>i'd have imagined that most house of balloons era fans stopped listening to him a while ago out of sheer disappointment.

His style changed, but the lyrics stayed the same. Beauty was an incredible album. If a Ballons fan drops Beauty, they're nothing more than contrarian.
>>
>>69271412
he literally created a new genre with his mixtapes. the only thing "generic" is everyone who copied it.
>>
Starboy is the only good song
>>
There's like 2 solid songs on this new album. 1 of them being the interlude by Lana Del Rey. I liked True Colors.

Only his first 3 albums/mixtapes are good. The rest is pretty much horrible aside from some songs here and there. Even with Beauty Behind The Madness, the unreleased version of Girls Born In The 90s is far better than the re-done, re-named version on the album.

As for "Starboy" - too much generic fucking trap drums that are disgustingly repetitive. His choice to use auto-tune at times is awful too. Any song with the aforementioned is automatic shit to me.

Like others have mentioned: House Of Balloons/2011 era Weeknd is the only good Weeknd.
>>
>>69271554
What would that genre be? Just sounds like R&B electropop to me.

Is it just me, or is it not available on Apple Music?

I don't know what everyone is tripping about. It's literally available on Spotify right now. Which surprised me because I thought he'd pull a Drake and wait a week at least before allowing streaming to get the initial sales, but whatever.

Well if they really made me then replace me.... I know you wish nobody every loved me. I feel useless when I'm never makin' money... eyyyyyyyy

>buying albums

There is literally no benefit of buying albums if you're subscribed to a steaming service. All you're doing is wasting more money.
>>
>>69272406
album sales are respected in the industry and accounted for the singer's pay , not streaming. that is why rihanna and bruno mars with high album sales are higher paying artists than drake or the weeknd
>>
>>69272236
It's gonna sell more first week than 24k Magic.

So I love False Alarm and Starboy, but in that Mania video the other teaser tracks I wasnt feeling at all. Anyone else feel like that or am I crazy?
>>
ez listening at its finest
>>
>>69272766
It may, but I doubt it.
Starboy has younger fans and people who buy albums quicker but also don't have a lot of longevity. 24K Magic has multigenerational fans who buy albums slower and have a lot of longevity. Time and time again Mars has proven that his fans have been like this and I KNOW that his will end up on top

Solid album. Really thankful he released this. I really feel it. It's really groovy, I guess, for lack of a better word. Really refreshing compared to the regular bullshit I'm used to hearing. Maybe I'm just getting bored of Drake. Like... Sidewalks, Party Monster, and Die For You for example... They sound so good. It's crazy.

I got exactly what I expected to get. As soon as I saw that eight of the songs were explicit out of eighteen, I knew what to expect. Half of those, if that, are the hard hitting ones.

It's similar to Views in that respect. Hype, Grammys, and Pop Style were the only hard hitting aggressive songs on there. The rest was calm and chill. We get that here too, but the album isn't as calm and "singy" as Views is.

My favorite album this year. Views was great, but it played more like a movie. Not much replay value for me, but the initial listen was great. Hype was my most played song from it, by far, followed by Pop Style. This albums has MUCH more replay value. The whole album has replay value. The only shitty thing in it is the pointless interlude, but whatever it's an interlude... And Kendrick Lamar... Why? The fuck is he doing... I would have much rather wanted a second verse from The Weeknd. Motherfucker, I knew this would happen. As soon as I heard it on MANIA I knew Kendrick's faggot ass would take up the other half of the song. What a waste.

Anyways...

1. Reminder
2. Ordinary Life
3. Sidewalks (without Kendrick Lamar)
4. Die For You
5. Party Monster

Those are probably going to be my most replayed. This album is easily going to sell a million first week. I'd dare say it might do better than Views... It's certainly going to make an impact and you'll be hearing about it for a while. Every time you try to forget who I am, I'll be there to remind you again. It's The Weeknd's time now. No one gonna even be talking about the competition, mainly Drake frankly, for a while. People were getting bored of him anyways.

I remember absolutely hating it, and while i don't like it still, I don't have the urge to skip it like I did before. It doesn't sound quite as harsh.

>This album is easily going to sell a million first week

Boy fuck outta here with that shit.
You clearly don't know a damn thing about the music industry or the sales climate if you think an underground alt R&B artist is going to make 1 million copies in first week. You're also a damn fool for placing so much value on first week sales to begin with. Not even ADELE, BEYONCE, RIHANNA, JUSTIN BIEBER, or hell even METALLICA much bigger stars than the WEEKND can sale a million in one week. Nope. Not even Thriller did that

This is gonna do better than 24K Magic first week with 240-300K sales and then drop the fuck off
Bet

He isnt even considered underground anymore

>>69272930
He was underground at first but my point is he isn't a big female pop star or an old band everyone fondly remembers

I think what that anon is saying is that Starboy won't go platinum in a week.

at risk of being publicly decapitated, i fucking love it so far

BBTM was number one last year doing about half a million. That was when you could argue that he wasn't that popular. And that album was sold from the hype of the singles.

Starboy came out a month ago and did a lot better in a month than the other two songs above it did in a year. Big difference from last year and an even bigger difference from three years ago.

He's one of the most famous artists right now, I don't know what you're talking about underground. He's been working with major artists from the start. He even made, arguably, most of Take Care for Drake which is arguably "his" best album.

He's third in the world on Spotify. Drake is number one, but not by much and Starboy could give him that spot.

Guarantee you that it's doing a million first week. Certainly not doing 300K... It's for sure going platinum, but first week is debatable. Views didn't do a million either, but they changed the system so it did. Starboy will too.

Don't worry people are just scared because The Weeknd is taking over.
>>
>>69273064
It's not doing 1 million album sales in the first week nigga, as I said if those other WAY MORE POPULAR, WAY MORE BIGGER FANBASES of the other girls couldn't do it, then he couldn't do it. I bet a fucking life long ban on this shit, cause I know I'm 100000% right. Maybe you mean a million streams cause it for sure isn't a god damn million in ONE WEEK IN 2016 WHEN NOT EVEN THRILLER DID THAT


Weeknd ain't taking over shit, he has no crossover longevity mainstream appeal. He gonna fall off. The only mainstream male act right now one of them is rising already and one of them just ruined their potential by punching fans in the face
>>
>>69273064
U must be getting sales confused with streams, 'cuz that is crap. We are obviously using 2 different measurement metrics here , Let's see his physical sales and how he does on ITunes with a more multigenerational and bigger userbase than Spotify or any other streaming site

>Guarantee you that it's doing a million first week

it's doing 500k max buddy relax

so is it good or nah? i can't listen to it rn, will someone objectively tell me?
>>
>>69273845
It's a solid 8/10.
>>
>>69273845
It's definitely not as good as I thought it would be, songs are too same-y I feel but it's still good IMO
>>
>>69273845
I fell like Strong 5.
>>
>>69273845
It's more focused than beauty. Everything from his early works is practically gone, so don't expect anything like that.
Otherwise, it's pretty solid. I'd say better than Views.
>>
>>69273845

it's style over substance
like any weeknd album
>>
is I disliked his last album but liked the early stuff is it worth checking out?

Sidewalks was fucking god-tier until Kendrick Lamar opened his fucking mouth.. and Future? Seriously?

Other than that... this album is DOPE.

I'm on the same boat as you and I liked Starboy, so I think it's worth checking out

Hob > EoS > Thurs > Kiss land > Starboy > Dogshit > BBtM imo

Rumor says Chance was suppose to be in Sidewalks but Kenny wanted "In" on the XO Vibe....

Echoes of Silence > Starboy > BBTM > Thursday > House of Balloons > Kissland
>>
Starboy > Trilogy > BBTM > Kiss Land

Starboy is moist. It's clear old Weeknd is dead. He made that ridiculously clear.

Trilogy is amazing, but didn't hit like Starboy.

BBTM is only good because of the singles.

Kiss Land was awful. Especially for a debut album. Had no singles, but Live For is the only thing that pushed it. Adaptation was okay too.

if by focused you mean each song is so similar to the next it becomes derivative

That's not saying much at all.

I know it's not him but I'm really digging the production on this album, really synthy 80s dark funk feel. It pains me to see the Trilogy Weeknd fade away but hopefully he can carve out a place in pop music that is at least somewhat original in comparison to most of the shit we see today.

Post your top 3 Weeknd songs lads.
