Still PND (imo) one of the best to ever do it, if not the best in this rnb thing. Party is a world class writer and pnd1, 2 and 3 are all classics. Maybe it’s good we don’t get music from him every single year, that keeps the quality there. And to be honest, besides a few tweets, i don’t feel like Party would release so much music anyway, even if the label would allow him to.

That's what makes this trilogy unique you can hear him having tons of emotions and sometimes it feels like he's the victim but if you reading the lyrics you can see him being the Villain or an Anti Hero

I listened to The Weeknd's music throughout as a teen and at first I was just vibing with his songs and was oblivious to how dark the mixtapes were lyrically until years later.I just love how he makes a character and story based off of personal life even if it is a character I shouldn't root for.

I was 12 when i got an ipod and learned to download music when kissland dropped. I cant bare to even fathom how amazing it must have been to live the mixtape days, not knowing who The Weeknd was or what he looked like. The contrast of who he has become is just so inspiring man, like damn, hes suceeded in music and now hes already undergoing his cinematography/film career just as he initially aspired to do in school. I wouldnt say his music resonated with me as a young kid but I fell in love with the atmosphere abel created. Resonating only came with growing up and maturing to understand his art. To this day i still listen to his music every day and i have never gotten bored. I never truly realised how much of a role model he is, he deadass pushed himself time and time again while going through so much bs and in the end he exceeded everyones expectations. Sry for the fanboy moment but damn bruh Abel is a damn g

I remember buying the trilogy on cds in high school when it came back I would listen to it nonstop I was obsessed!! this being some of my darkest times too I’ve always felt like I was able to relate to these songs. Now as an adult I have listened again after years of a crazy life style addiction and toxic relationships it’s hard for me to listen to the songs as well it kinda takes me back to my dark times. It’s beautiful to see how far The Weeknd has come

Это шедевр. Спасибо тебе большое. Именно так должен выглядеть идеальный обзор альбомов: разбор каждой песни и почти каждой строчки, объясняя их смысл по ходу повествования. Из-за моего неидеального знания английского я смог понять лишь часть строчек и часть смысла песен трилогии, а благодаря тебе я усвоил всю историю. Уму непостижимо, что этот альбом не только концептуальный, но еще и основан на реальных событиях. Спасибо тебе большое ещё раз!!!
