The Weeknd - STARBOY (Discussion Thread)

[WhereIsTheLove]

One thing I find interesting reading through the thread is there doesn't seem to be a real consensus on which songs are the best.

BBTM wasn't like that,their was clear standouts.

Some people think rocking is one of the best songs,others think it's the worst.


Same with true colors.

Everybody's list looks different

I noticed that too lol

That interlude, family

It shoulda been a full length song.

Been listening to Abel since HoB...imo...this is his best project since that one. And definitely his best Album (I dont count trilogy as an album, as they all originally released as mixtapes.

Keep doing ya thang Abel...I see you REALLY shooting for that MJ sound now

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Are nikkas on the coli really trying to compare PND mumbling nonsense into reverb and choking away and lip syncing on his tour to a once in a generation talent that the weeknd is?

These dudes been doing this since forever.


I remember them posting strugglenextdoor songs in the kiss land thread 3 years ago

 

[Zero]

For all the purists on thecoli, they do seem to love this watered down pop PAWG lover music

Whatever gets the most daps at the time, friend :iseeu:

 

[Loose]

This is some pop trash why this got so many post

 

[2manyFCKNrappers]

I don't even fukk with Abel like that....never could get into a project because it was too moody and depressing. This album is damn near perfect. I'm not the type to call things classic ahead of time but I feel like Starboy is a modern day classic. 5 stars.

So far the consistent skips for me are...
False Alarm
Rockin'
Stargirl Interlude
A Lonely Night

Songs that are hit or miss depending on mood...
Secrets
Love to Lay
Nothing Without You
Kendrick's verse on Sidewalks
Die For You



Everything else is good to great. I'm glad I didn't venture into this thread until after I listened to this album myself though. It's much easier to formulate a true opinion on shyt without reading stan reactions before hand.

Lmao Kendrick is my man but that verse is completely forgettable

 

[ThiefyPoo]

A lonely night got me grooving I'm suppose to be sleep but fukk it

 

[Apex]

Kendrick's verse wasn't anything phenomenal, but there's only so much you can do on a pop track as a rapper.
