After the third listen, this shyt goes.

He definitely showed his growth with this record.

 

[Medio]

Take care his highest selling album and widely regarded as his best.

Tc did 2.2 million
Nwts did 1.6 million
Iyrtitl did 1 million


Seems like a clear pattern of downwards since.

Last one is a mixtape

Last one is a mixtape

A mixtape that has pushed singles,released by a major label available for purchase digitally and physically. Same thing.

 

[Paper Boi]

"as you are" it the weakest song on the album... right?

 

[IVS]

The Acquainted is the damn truth. Had to flex to that a tonight. Just walked the joint back to her car. Cheers to the Weeknd.

 

[Bless't]

Good album.

 

[Lil Bape the PostGod]

To say we're in love is dangerous
But girl I'm so glad we're acquainted



That's that "I'm just here to beat up the box" talk

 

[Jorvan]

Get mad and laugh at MY opinion brehs..ONLY on the Coli..

I'm not mad at your opinion but I am laughing at it

 

[RicanFury]

fukking album is nuts

 

[Da King]

Last one is a mixtape

Most mixtapes get physical releases at best buy

 

[Dre Space Age]

i can't identify with his lyrical content which is why i couldn't give a fukk about any of his releases.

here for the beats

 

[Mr Hate Coffee]

Theres a couple knock offs like JMSN but not really. I mean im sure you can find some indy artists but nothing of note. Even jmsn is just some white boy who was making entirely different music than weeknd dropped and he changed his name and music to shark his sound but its not the same.

Really there is nothing that similar personally.

But maybe youll like him

Comparing JMSN to The Weeknd is a lazy comparison. They both do alternative R&B and that's about it. Even at a basic level, JMSN sings about relationships and Abel croons about drugs and the demonic life.

So chill next time you diss JMSN da gawd.

As someone who couldn't really get into The Weeknd but fukked with his features and Often and Can't Feel My Face I could get jiggy with, I thought it was a pretty good pop album.

When those drums hit on Angel...

Pretty much the last three tracks are

Tell Your Friends is


That's just off the first listen, listening to the standouts now.
He doesn't sound like he's in his comfort zone on In The Night and it's likely the next single.

Has he been doing this MJ knock off thing for awhile or just on this album?

He's only done the Dirty Diana cover on Echoes of Silence before this.
