You the real MVP 🫡

[@esen_x.o]

the album, which reflects the transition of an underground personality into a mega-star, although the album is half pop, but still is one of the best works of The Weeknd

[@Ashwin-eo4om]

Every album of him is a masterpiece

[@angie-jo1mn]

1,000%!

​@@justinromero5331It's just our opinion. Your opinion might be different. Which album you did not enjoyed?

[@gustavobarbosa7810]

in my opinion this album with starboy and after hours are masterpiece, just wonderful

[@RileyBeatty-wn5us]

Acquainted is so underrated 😩 definitely one of my favorites on this album

[@_MrToast_]

Same 😄

[@DannsProductions]

One of the reasons why BBTM feels disjointed is because The Weeknd didn’t know what to do after Kiss Land. He was scrapping albums during the 2014 period. I think this was the result of just not having an idea as to what his next album was going to be.

[@leeking6939]

That's why it's called beauty behind the madness. It's supposed to be chaotic

[@angie-jo1mn]

LIES🙄

[@DannsProductions]

@@angie-jo1mn This is an excerpt from a Rolling Stone article from 2015: When Kiss Land stalled, the Weeknd fell into a creative rut. “I just kept getting more and more depressed,” he says. He considered relocating from Toronto to Seattle in search of a “super-drugged-out Nirvana vibe.” Instead, after writing and scrapping an album’s worth of material, he started spending more time in Los Angeles and listening to his label. Republic got him a choice placement on the 50 Shades of Grey soundtrack with “Earned It” and set up a duet with Ariana Grande on her club-ready single “Love Me Harder,” produced by synth-pop wizard Max Martin. “At first I was kind of iffy about it,” the Weeknd says of the collaboration, which would have been unthinkable in the old days. “Five years ago? Definitely not. I was the young starving artist that wanted to do it all by myself.” www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/how-the-weeknd-went-from-broke-in-canada-to-sharing-stage-with-taylor-swift-42832/amp/

[@bigstembo4209]

the sample used in ‘Often’ is a Turkish song called ‘Ben Gene Sana vurgunum’ which means ‘I am still in love with you’ and translated in the weekend’s sample it says “Every single day of mine lasts for years” and “I am tired of walking alone”. Very interesting.

[@leeking6939]

This album is very disorganised and chaotic for a weeknd album but it definitely has its high points which cover the flaws of the album probably the reason why it's called beauty behind the madness lol That's also the same issue I have with Starboy. If they were a bit shorter they would have been a 10/10

[@bossdonwaveify]

Would love for you to react to some of his features and loosies: -Trust Issues -King of the Fall -Enemy -Down Low (R. Kelly cover) -I'm Good (w/ Lil Wayne) -Devil May Cry (Hunger Games soundtrack) -Nocturnal (w/ Disclosure) -Nomads (w/ Ricky Hill) -In Vein (w/ Rick Ross) -Lost in the Fire (w/ Gesaffelstein) -Over Now (w/ Calvin Harris) -Remember You (w/ Wiz Khalifa) -One of Those Nights (w/ Juicy J) -Low Life (w/ Future) -Coming Out Strong (w/ Future) -You Right (w/ Doja Cat) -Might Not (w/ Belly) -Drunk in Love remix

Yes. This. Yes. I’ve been saying this for years YESSS!

[@nikki6340]

favorite song on the album (and real life)

[@jesusgaming6860]

yes true yes true true yes yes true yes agreed

[@FarL-AFE-HTC]

YES BROOO I AGREEEEEEEE!!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DukeNich]

Definitely is, I think it’s basically my favorite of the record.

[@AugmentedGravity]

The Hills has one of the hardest hitting choruses of all time in music history imo. It’s so fucking good.

[@juancarlosb9781]

Tell your friends to In the Night might be the greatest track run in music history tbh, banger after banger!

[@vancedadder]

Yo forreal

[@eduardocerna193]

This album really represents whole 2010s music honestly

[@XXXtemptation107]

And it came at a perfect time too, honestly one of the most defining moments of 2010s music

[@Kenny-lz3gh]

That Canadian accent slips in when the word "about" comes out😂 My accent seeps in when you give me a word with an L

[@AugmentedGravity]

Canadian?

[@fadia4685]

I love shameless i remember i was obsessed with it

[@dropthealbummike8713]

Acquainted actually was supposed to be way differently in the terms of sound, it's called Girls Born In The 90s and it was leaked before the album release, so Abel had to completely change it. Also the outro of Acquainted is kinda different in the live version, I wish those vocals were in the actual song too And also it's funny that you said that Angel would sounds good at the stadium, because he barely performed it, he did a few times during BBTM tour but it was canceled quickly after the beginning, since he decided to work on the Starboy, and then in the next tour he sang acoustic version only with the guitar on the background 😂

[@ItsSVO]

Earned it is just elegant and cool as fuck in my opinion. Maybe because I’m a singer I like it more as the melodies and the vocal control is absolutely stunning.

[@RileyBeatty-wn5us]

Frrr

[@Vxldez.]

i actually think this album does have a pretty cohesive story, with being unhappy in fame, dealing with the devil and finding a girl he actually falls in love with, i reccomend watching The Writers View’s video on it, he explains the album very well

[@indicaking]

I love watching these types of videos, it's the closest I can get to experiencing my favorite music for the first time again

[@xodanny2955]

in the night music video so fire. love the thunder when the beat drops near the end

[@AugmentedGravity]

In the night is just perfection

[@xodanny2955]

25:32 that stare of hatred!! hahaha love that eye look at the camera. the eyes chico, they never lie

[@RapidzF1]

I’m so glad you loved In The Night. It’s my personal favourite off the record! Great reaction. 😊

[@LVR-c6y]

For me House of Balloon, Thursday and Echoes of silence from 2011 are the Best The Weeknd work its so Special. Later in 2012 this 3 mixtapes comes out as Trilogy Album.

[@NIMBUSTHECLOUD47]

You should definitely listen to the single King Of The Fall it’s such a good track

[@AugmentedGravity]

I feel like i'm lucky in a way because i just can't get tired of songs i like. I can literally listen to a song over a thousand times in one year and that shows in my yearly Spotify wrapped's haha

[@AugmentedGravity]

In The Night is fucking amazing.

[@khangalzolbayar3813]

I love you. And your reaction. Love that you are being genuine

[@thegamingxin6043]

I feel like she usually dresses on the theme of the album and its nice to see that. You don't want people listening to house of balloons when they're wearing some star wars outfit or smth

[@isaacmunoz9690]

In The Night is fucking amazing like fr

[@pavlos307]

I am not a big Ed Sheeran fan but I love In my Dark times.

[@xodanny2955]

holy shit cant wait for trilogy reacts.... dark ass album. got me thru some dark ass times; so beautiful and revisit value

[@gswiggy9486]

Binging these Weeknd reactions now I need more from both of y’all

[@leandrotun6629]

Briana I think I speak for everyone when I say we would absolutely love to see your reaction to The Weeknd (King Of The Fall) Music video.🖤🖤🖤

[@vision697]

When she said ed sheeran hater i subscribed . I can feel you woman

[@JonathanGonzalez-ty4vh]

If you are planning on listening to the mixtapes make sure they all include the extra bonus song in each of them !

[@ercxo]

I’d love to see you check out the trilogy mixtapes, Starboy, and After Hours again! They’re all so good and definitely warrant another listen if you haven’t heard them in a while!

[@erikle9087]

Weeknd is the 🐐

[@phaze3247]

Considering how much u appreciate cohesive albums I highly suggest u start listening to D’angelo. His albums voodoo and black messiah are simply phenomenal. I think a reaction to his work would be incredible and u surely will get Some views

[@AugmentedGravity]

The Hills has one of the most powerful and catchy choruses of all time.

[@BTV-BrawlStars]

Real Life is so underrated, it deserves more attention

[@XOInitiationXO]

Have you listened to money power glory by Lana, but the version with the weeknd verse? It sounds SO right, like it should've been the original.

[@juniorwasneverthere]

fun fact the ending of Aquainted is an unrelease version called In The 90's

[@nazthecanny6136]

Dark times was like a vocals battle between abel and Ed

[@PetPalsParadise_]

If you are a Weeknd fan we're friends automatically XO

[@mishaalmagrabi6538]

Highly recommend to listening to other Weeknd albums like After Hours, Starboy, and his mixtapes before he blew up house of balloons, Thursday and echoes of silence

[@iMobinAPrizm]

When you listen to trilogy please do the original individual mixtapes rather than the trilogy album. Although being remastered I feel like a lot of the songs lost some of the original sound or feel especially when you listen with headphones. Looking forward to your reaction 😁

[@Joey-dt2tz]

u might already know this but the weeknd actually said in an interview lana de ray is like the female version of him. idk if he meant musically or personally (im assuming musically) but i thought that was interesting for him to say

[@matthieucusters8769]

As you are is def a grower. It became one of my fav songs

[@SitharaRiveen0503]

I really hope you will do a trilogy reaction

[@papajules7511]

Yeah I think that bias was pretty strong on Dark Times. I HATE Ed Sheerans music and that is the only song I actually enjoy hearing him in. Felt like it fit In very well.

[@Spookee]

hey, i know you probably get a lot of album requests but hear me out friends that break your heart - james blake literally a 10 in my eyes, a collection of the most beautiful & delicate songs i've ever heard.

Losers went HARD live, so fantastic

[@maxcarran]

Yeah you're not alone with Dark Times, especially with the lack of care for Ed Sheeran's music

[@mementomori8114]

I'd love to see u react to after hours again :)

[@vichitooop8766]

angel and in the night are the best songs of the album and im not open to discuss that

[@xo8230]

No need to discuss you're right

[@josaywhat]

In the Night is amazing indeed!!

[@davidmtz75]

What about earned it?

[@incogneeto2941]

imo prisoners is a song which you play for the lyrics not for the vibe, the lyrics are freakin amazing and i can relate to them but that may not be the case for everybody. still tho even if you cant relate to them i recommend listening to the verses cuz the song is so well written, probably one of my fav lana x weeknd songs

[@xodanny2955]

"who are you?" everyones reaction to that random girl w one line on angel
