The Weeknd

Thursday is dope.

Been seeing a lot of people in various places sorta hating like "it ain't House of Balloons though" which obviously it's not...if you wanna hear House of Balloons then go listen to House of Balloons

Thursday is like an extension of that tape.....yeah it's different but that's what makes it so good.

Birds Pt. 1 is still fire (that dropped a while ago)
Lonely Star is amazing
The Zone.....Drake comes outta nowhere and drops an epic verse

and Gone.....smh.....that shit just.....yo lot of babies gonna be made to that joint

Come on, you don't like his voice? I think hes got a great voice, hits them high notes and shit.

What I thinks great about both tapes is how he throws together different elements, like theres a new wave influence, Drake influence, hip hop influence, classic R&B like Ginuwine & Jodeci and indie rock. But they don't sound forced together, he carved out his own sound and hes a hell of a songwriter. I also get a sense that he wants the listener to listen to it over and agian because theres so much detail in the compositions and vocal and words.

I kind of agree with buck, but off my first few listens I'd probably say its not as good as '...Balloons'. I mean I'm still listening to that and my favorite song keeps changing, 'Coming Down' is becoming imprinted on my mind, not only cos I relate to it but the vocals are perfect emotion for the lyrics. But again, so many great albums that I had to hear a lot before knowing their true greatness: Sensual World, Non Fiction, Black On Both Sides, Operation Doomsday, Alicia Keys etc. I'm sure theres others, on the other hand my opinion could remain the same, that its a great album but not a classic like 'Balloons'.

I'll say this much.......Thursday doesn't have anything that's even close to "Wicked Games"

I'd say thats my least favorite song on there, but I still think its dope as fuck. I wish I had a little criticism against him at this point cos I've been gushing over his music for the last month and even I'm getting tired of it.

Thought of one: Its not fair that hes younger than me and better than me at music. Actually its not fair that Justin Biebers better at music than me either.

lol 1% of man, you have a fetish for 300 pound chicks too like buckshot or something? My post had nothing to do with you, so mind your own business.

lol @ telling people to mind their business on an internet forum.

The Zone a sick track. The Birds 1 & 2 as well. He needs a faster paced track now that's a banger in the club and he will blow up.

Its as good as 'Balloons'

"Lonely Star" 5:49

Great album intro, all the detail that you expect in the production, typical hedonism horror.

"Life of the Party" 4:57

Fucking crazy, eclectic production with a killer riff. Could be a massive hit if it wasn't a song about a gangbang.

"Thursday" 5:20

More 'Balloons' sounding than the rest of the album, subtle but beautiful, shimmering shit.

"The Zone" (featuring Drake) 6:58

I love all the minor keys and low low bass on this, just a great make out song too.

"The Birds Part One" 3:34

Classy little pop song.

"The Birds Part Two" 5:51

Song of the year?

"Gone" 8:06

More substance abuse

"Rolling Stone" 3:51

Nice low key track, showcasing his vocals

"Heaven or Las Vegas" 5:57

Knew he wasn't gonna close the album with anything upbeat, haha.


I think he made a great album here, I might even prefer it to 'House Of Balloons' at this point.

Yo "Gone" will absolutely have you attempting to fuck your girl raw....

Thursday is fire...although it has made me go back and bump House of Balloons a lot again....but Thursday is its own tape and on its own it's incredible

After listening to this a few more times, i can't fucking stand it. The remixed versions that i've heard of all the tracks have been much better than the originals. Can't fucking stand his voice and some of the corny shit he babbles on about.

I guess it's because i don't really get into rnb unless the beats are exceptionally good.

His voice on this annoys the shit out of me, he needs to stop fucking around with it unless he is going to completely distort it or alter the speed.

The most interesting thing about the resurgence of rnb this year is how well some electronic music producers have interpolated vocals within 2step and house beats.





The Weeknd makes average rnb with some above average lyrics sometimes, which is cool, but i personally don't make a habit of bothering to listening to average rnb.

Haha, you don't like a decent R&B album so you suggest electro cack?

ha, whatever you reckon, i was more saying that the weeknd is just another pretty boring take on rnb. The Dream released a better free album this year, which wasn't even that great, but at least he can sing. Same with Frank Ocean.

My point was, that as someone who's not that into rnb unless it's over great beats or the vocals are altered, i have no reason to bother with the weeknd's mediocre fare. I still listen to Glass Tables every now and then because the second beat is great, but the majority of his tracks either bore me or annoy me.

hold up......The-Dream can sing? This is news to me.

1977 was fire, and I've always liked The-Dream but he really can't sing haha. He's like one step above the Biggavel in the ability-to-sing department.


and Thursday was almost responsible for me planting the seed. Never tried to fuck raw until Thursday was on then suddenly I'm on that "Oh I didn't realize I was that close" game....smh....both Weeknd tapes are fire and so is the new OVOXO tape

Well I mean obviously its your opinion, but the last thing I would call him is boring. I like his voice, but I know what you mean, when I don't like an artists voice it make it very difficult to listen to them, even when all the other elements are great.

Franks tape is dope but I don't think its on the same level. The Dream uses auto-tune right?

Dream might use autotune a bit, not on his recent album though.

lol @ The-Dream's album being better than The Weeknd's (any) tape

actually lol @ every bateman post finding The Weeknd boring

Is it me or isn't Drake taking the weeknd's formula to the market before they can for the win?

They have similar production style, Drake and 40 started that anyway.

What do you think that people who buy a Drake album ain't gonna buy a Weeknd one? Thats stupid. 'Take Care' next month will put on a lot of people on to the Weeknd that didn't know him.

He did a remix of Florence Of The Machines new song. I don't think either version is as good as anything on her first album, I hope its not a sophomore slump for her.

OoOoOh me likey....

He's the next MJ...

gonna have to check this dude music out

hes got writing credits on 5 tracks on 'take care'. all great collabs, OVOXO will go on and on killing it. if you like r&b/hip hop and the weeknd you should like 'take care'. probably get more love in this thread than the hip hop shop where some people don't get it or like it but still spend a fair amount of time each day talking about it.

like mellow music like this
