Apr 16, 2023 Often, The Hills, and Acquainted are the amazing hits. Angel, Real Life, and As You Are are some of the mediocre songs I was talking about. They aren’t bad at all but compared to the other songs they feel weak to me. I don’t think The Weeknd has any bad songs
Apr 16, 2023 I've only listened to the first two trilogy tapes and Starboy, I liked Starboy the most out of those. I can see myself liking some of his newer stuff more cause I like the songs I've heard from After Hours and Dawn FM but idk if he's for me in general, super f---in talented though!
Apr 16, 2023 They switch rankings in my mind all the time, but I see your point. Starboy definitely made more of a statement and certified him as a star like it set out to do, while with Beauty Behind the Madness he was still this mysterious guy people didn’t know much about. Plus, without Starboy we wouldn’t have After Hours, which I think is his best album
Apr 16, 2023 I think After Hours is his best album. He combines the darkness of his old music with the pop of his newer music that started with Starboy. It has some 80s elements but still remains modern. Dawn FM is basically fully 80s. It’s really good as well and the tracks flow well into one another
Apr 16, 2023 Since this is turning into a general music thread may I kindly ask the boomers to make their way over to Albumoftheyear.org to find new music and become as chronically online as me!
Apr 16, 2023 Bro not gonna be happy tomorrow when he wakes up to all these weekend and bad bunny posts
Apr 16, 2023 I’ve known of this site for quite a while but I don’t need it because I let Anthony Fantano and Brad Taste in Music form my music taste for me
Apr 16, 2023 On a real note though if you’re one of those people who are dying for an Eminem album, listen to other artists. According to Apple Music, I’ve listened to over 500 artists this year so far. Because of that, I’m never actually in pain waiting for my favorite artists to drop because I have other music to distract me and look forward to. I still haven’t listened to Em since August 2022 lol
Apr 16, 2023 Lucky for you Brad forms his opinion off of this website and fantano so you're already getting the same experience
Apr 16, 2023 I think also the attempts of rehashing his old dark sound came across forced on Beauty, whereas Starboy seems to embrace the pop & trap sound & feel comfortable in its own artistry/identity, just like his whole 80s arc
Apr 16, 2023 I only listen to some Em in the gym or if I’m smashed these days. He hasn’t released an album in over 3 years so not going back to listen to songs I’ve heard a thousand times over and over again. I check out every artist and although hip hop my favourite genre, I probably listen to more electronic music these days. Still dying for a new Em album though
Apr 16, 2023 Em’s verse on Yelawolf’s “Best Friend” song goes hard in the gym. Yeah, you don’t wanna make yourself tired of the artist. That’s happened to me before where I had to take long breaks from listening to some of my favorite artists because I was so tired of listening to their music Electronic music getting more and more popular it seems. I love the house influence that’s happening in rap right now along with the jersey club style beats. Beyoncé’s Renaissance is amazing.
Apr 16, 2023 Yeah I haven't been listening to Em for minute now outside of a random reaction video every once in a blue moon, mostly been bumping some Midwest Emo and sad girl s--- atm.
