The_Weeknd-Trilogy-3CD-2012

[Brooklynzson]

I tell myself that I'll take you for the last time
I'll be over you eventually
Time after time, you seem to push me off
I understand what we have become
You wash your neck when you leave, now I know your routine
I was in love with your mystery
Now I just take what I can get from you
I'm not embarrassed to be what you want me to be

You're gonna hate him
Then you'll want me
Then you'll miss him
Then you'll hate me
Girl, I know you so well
(Girl, I know you so well)
Girl, I know your routine
(Yes I know your routine)

Absolutely. The thing that I've come to realize and appreciate while re-listening to the Trilogy is how incredibly consistent he is. I seriously can fukk with all 30 tracks without skipping a beat and I'm not on no stan shyt when I say that (and that's not even including his tracks that he released himself that aren't on a project i.e. "Enemy" & "Trust Issues" or any of his features).

When I think about it, some of my favorite artists of all-time whom are considered legends to many, can't even make the claim of releasing the equivalent of three full length albums all of great quality IMO. That's why I think people that rock with The Weeknd, are going to support something that they've heard before because of the sheer quality of it all.

And like he said in "Same Old Song" ..."especially since you know that this ain't nothing and I've only just begun" . This nikka has my support come tomorrow and in the future if he can keep this up.

For real can anyone name a skippable track? Besides personal taste (if you already don't fukk with r&b, lyrics mainly about taking drugs and bytches,etc) you a muthafukkin lie. The Morning is the only song I don't like by him honestly and I don't skip it cause it plays it's part. And dude is mad diverse in the songs he makes, they all have the same vibe but loft music is nothing like life of the party which is nothing like initiation which is nothing like echoes of silence etc. I won't lie though I am on some stan shyt so ima come clean on that. Especially as a young dude and I feel like my generation (early twenties) fukkd with drugs beyond lq and weed more than any other and i'm at a point in my life where this is like theme music. Obviously I'm not partying in soho lofts doing tony montana amounts of cocaine with model bytches but I can relate to it more than r&b about love and relationships and loving gay men

Wait so this is just his 3 mixtapes with 3 additional tracks?

Why are you all so geeked over a majority of material you have already heard?

For more than a year, Toronto singer and Drake affiliate Abel Tesfaye, aka the Weeknd, was the hottest unsigned R&B artist since Frank Ocean. The three mixtapes he released for free through his website in 2011 ("House of Balloons," "Thursday," "Echoes of Silence"), sparked a media frenzy ("House of Balloons" was nominated for Canada's Polaris Music Prize) and led to him selling out his first U.S. tour last spring in less than five minutes.

But since signing with Republic in September in a joint venture with his own XO imprint, the Weeknd is attempting the transition from indie favorite to mainstream star with Trilogy, a rerelease of his mixtapes that includes three bonus songs and arrives Nov. 13. Though the three-disc album will top out at 30 tracks, it'll be priced like a single CD, with a suggested price of $14.99 for the CD and $9.99 on iTunes.

The tactic of repackaging free online projects for commercial release is increasingly common in hip-hop (Drake sold 675,000 copies of his repackaged breakout mixtape, "So Far Gone," according to Nielsen SoundScan), but it's tricky to pull off for artists who build their songs around samples. Ocean scuttled plans to rerelease his "Nostalgia/Ultra" mixtape through Island Def Jam earlier this year after failing to clear key samples (and dodging lawsuits) from acts like the Eagles. (Ocean's major-label debut, "Channel Orange," contained all new material and bowed at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 in July.) But the press-shy Weeknd tells Billboard that although the Trilogy samples were "killing me," he was able to get clearance from acts like Beach House ("The Party & the After Party") and Siouxsie and the Banshees ("Glass Table Girls"). Only his use of Aaliyah's "Rock the Boat" on fan favorite "What You Need" failed to make the CD.

But if convincing core fans to spend $10-$15 on albums they already own is one challenge, getting them to shell out even more on the touring circuit is not. In October 2011, William Morris Endeavor music head Marc Geiger famously told Topspin CEO Ian Rogers that the Weeknd was able to command $25,000 for a show-even though he'd yet to play a single proper gig. Joel Zimmerman, music agent and head of William Morris Electronic, clarified to Billboard that the figure was used more as an example of the quotes mentioned in the bidding war to sign the Weeknd and his management-a deal that remained in process through January 2012.

"I had just booked Coachella for his first U.S. show, and I didn't know if we were hired. I still thought this could be a one-off thing," Zimmerman says. "Right before they came out to L.A., I flew to Toronto to meet everybody and get a handle on who they were and how we could work together. It's been one of the most rewarding experiences I ever had."

The Weeknd's initial U.S. shows, with a limited band and set production, grossed an impressive $335,000 across five dates with attendance of 8,352, according to Billboard Boxscore. For a fall tour that began in September and ran through last week, the Weeknd returned with a new band, backup singers and a full production complete with custom videos
