What is great about the Weeknd is that his biggest songs are all about very dark subjects and most people who aren’t fans never even notice like Blinding Lights being about overdose, Can’t Feel My Face being about cocaine, The Hills being about him sleeping around and being an addict, Starboy being a song wondering why radio let his music become so big knowing how dark it is

I do think there is still elements of his original sound in BBTM, but i am not a big fan of the commercial route he went with his music, but I do understand why he did it. I can’t help but feel that he is limiting himself considering the fact that his first 4 projects were so innovative, and fresh to us, and he has for the most part left that sound behind. The only reason I rank MDM and After Hours ahead of BBTM is because his original sound seems a little more prominent in those projects. But they’re all great.

I can’t lie I feel Starboy should’ve been higher, bc with that album he proved that he was here to stay. He was at the point where all artists either test new sounds or stay safe and repeat the same sounds continuously. But with starboy he showed he’s a house hold name and him taking that risk is part of the reason we enjoy him. This is a small part that makes him The Weeknd.

I also love and grew up with that poppy dance club type of music so it fit right into my alley. Also, Daft Punk was the first ever duo/group that I really listened to back when I was a child, so to have Daft Punk on a Weeknd album with them producing some of the tracks and being the background vocals really made me love the album.

Thursday Favorite Track - The Birds, Pt. 2 9.) My Dear Melancholy, Favorite Track - Privilege After Hours easily takes the crown for me. The rollout was so full of hype and was so exciting. The aesthetic for the era is so kickass. The sinister Las Vegas grunge with that iconic ass red suit, his hairstyle, those glasses he wore. I hate using that word, iconic, but that’s exactly what the look was. You know instantly who it is and what is being represented when you see that flashy red suit. I love it even though Abel was tired of wearing it by the end of the era lol. The album tells a story from start to finish. Starts with him ending up Alone Again, then goes in his usual nightly escapades of drugs and sex, he ends up overdosing, and the album ends with him bleeding out, or dying, which is where Dawn FM picks up, with him in purgatory transitioning into the after life. After Hours is such a versatile record. You have mainstream pop tunes like Blinding Lights and Save Your Tears, but you also get some “rap” or “trap” sounding songs like Snowchild, Heartless, and Escape From LA. He experimented with drum and bass on Hardest To Love. Scared to Live is the album’s breakup/love song ballad, and then you have tracks like After Hours, Faith, Repeat After Me, Alone Again, and Until I Bleed out that really dig into the self loathing and depression that Abel was feeling. The entire album is an amalgamation of everything Abel has created up to that point. It is, dare I say it, a perfect album, and the only one to top House of Balloons for me. House of Balloons was my favorite project from him until After Hours. HoB is a very hard project to be better than but AH did that for me. I miss that era deeply. Dawn FM is fantastic but After Hours was on another level. It’s crazy that critics took to Dawn FM more than they did AH.

Even though Trilogy is more my taste musically, I’ve been really enjoying his last two albums because they are easier to connect to emotionally, which I really like in music. As good as Trilogy and Kiss Land are, they are not easy to relate to, because he can come off as very unlikable. But the stories on Dawn FM (and After Hours to an extent) are much easier to empathize with.

Tbh I’ve never been the biggest Weeknd fan but I stumbled upon House of Balloons one night and it just hit so hard. I tend to put that album on before I go to sleep most nights. It just puts me at peace. From there though I’ve gave his other two mixtapes a listen and dove into his albums. Nothing really hit the same for me except Beauty Behind The Madness which I love too. I have that and House Of Balloons on vinyl and after watching you guys give your takes on his discography I’m motivated to dive into his discography again, and with a new perspective and understanding of his concepts.

My three favourites gotta be Kiss Land, Star Boy, and Dawn FM is up there too. I definitely disagree with Starboy having too much filler, from top to bottom that album was incredible and it's one that I still go back to a lot.

Really appreciated hearing y’all reflections. The Weeknd is my favorite artist, I’ve been a fan since tracks from HoB in 2010/2011 were dropping without his face on it. Its been so special watching him grow and the story he tells in his music continue. I feel like he has one of the most cohesive discrographys. As someone who struggles with addiction and ptsd, a lot of things he tells in the story have always resonated with me. Like feeling stuck in the depression and needing drugs and other means to drown it out. Now that I’ve been in recovery for almost 3 years, songs like “until I bleed it out” and “gasoline” really resonate. Trying to transition into someone different, but feeling held back by my destructive past self still. I def feel such a connection to his discography because I’ve felt like I’ve grown along side of it on so many levels. It’s a bonus that the sound is insane 😍

Aww man Until I Bleed Out is so underrated but touchy. Whenever it comes into my playlist I have to skip it because it's a song that puts me to cry really easily
@jkaloko15672 жыл бұрын
My favorite from The Weeknd is actually My Dear Melancholy. I adore all of his projects. But when I listened to My Dear Melancholy in 2018, it made me into a super fan of The Weeknd. It’s his most cohesive album as there’s 7 songs and you get to know everything about The Weeknd sonically and lyrically. Plus, back in 2018, I got cheated on by my ex-girlfriend and this album helped me deal with the heartbreak as I relate to how he was feeling about his heartbreak. This album has his best songs like Try Me, Call Out My Name, Hurt You, I Was Never There, and Privilege. I still replay every song on this album. It’s my personal favorite from The Weeknd and it’s iconic in my heart.

1. After Hours (from beginning to end, it’s a nonstop blockbuster. Excellent transitions and great subject matter. Inspired me as a musician) 2. House of Balloons (dark and edgy. The raw sound with the instrumentals and vocals adds to it rather than devalue it) 3. My Dear Melancholy (perfect flow and feel. Doesn’t overstay it’s welcome and is easy to play through without any skips) 4. Kiss Land (best album in terms of story telling and transitions. Epic narrative and underlying tones) 5. Dawn FM (diverse and narratively great. Beautiful sequel to AH) 6. Thursday (beautiful vocals with cool theme behind the narrative) 7. Starboy (great pop songs and R&B tracks. A great album that could do without a few tracks) 8. Echoes of Silence (best vocals of the entire Trilogy) 9. Beauty Behind The Madness (mainstream heavy but equally solid)
