weeknd slander

only people who dont like weeknd are drizzler fans and people only like the trilogy tapes

some of y’all just uncultured



But seriously. The Weeknd is probably the best music act to debut in the 2010s

and has one of the greatest catalogs ever across all genres

album came and went

2011 to 2018 (EPs, LPs, and even the singles on OST like '50 Shades of Grey', writing/vocals on 'Take Care')

Weeknd had an amazing 7 year run...all the BS after 2018, I'm going to assume it's not for me.

I don't follow his career closely; what happened after 2018?

2018 was after the breakup, but i wouldn’t call it BS at all. He became a bigger artist & the production started to lean more into 80s synth. The content is still Weeknd. After Hours & Dawn.FM are great imo. Dawn.FM an incredible pop album & his MJ influence has been more apparent throughout this current trilogy. I get why it may not be for a lot of people though. So, i respect where you’re coming from

That's fair, I chalk it up as it's not for me.
I'm coming from a place of disappointment because I wanted more of the R&B Weeknd

Interesting album.

The one thing I gotta give Abel praise, is he’s of the few artists still trying to thematically put together albums. He’s ambitious with the sounds he goes for & I give him nuff respect for that.

Unfortunately it was a bit too ambitious with some songs, others should’ve been trimmed shorter, didn’t need rap features & some you feel like you’ve heard before. The synth sound also starts to wear thin as the album progresses.

That said, there’s 4 clear standout songs:










….but there’s ONE song that is, a HIT.

Got me wanting to go to Sunday Mass and snort an 8ball in the back, in the lords name.

It’s incredibly well written & I did not think we’d ever get a religious song from a mainstream artist again. Whoever wrote that for him needs a G Wagon in their name.

Rest of the album is hit or miss but the writing in those songs have me intrigued for what he plans to do under his real name. I figured he was at his best with just making double entendre music about drugs & sex but that last song I posted, along with Baptized in Fear & the title song, got me thinking otherwise.

Such a bloated mess of an album

I swear, every time a big artist drops an album, the discourse on coli is the same… either it’s “trash/mid” or “their best work yet. Lol

album came and went

Feel like that’s just humans in general… it’s natural and not limited to the coli

He's too popish for me. The way I was introduced to him and what turned out to be after the trilogy just isn't for me.
