    I haven't heard it all got up to Sidewalks, plan to finish it tonight but I was enjoying it all. I didn't even mind Rockin' which was getting a lot of hate in here earlier. I'm sure i'll post comments after I'm fully done it. Rockin' and Secrets sound quite similar though so idk how some can hate Rockin' but love Secrets (my opinion at least).

    EDIT: After reading some comments....there's no way some people actually thought he was going to be back on that mysterious deep style from his Trilogy days after hearing Starboy and False Alarm. As well as the success of Beauty Behind The Madness. So he makes pop music now, if it's good I got no issues with it :idk:

    Download Unreleased the 12 tracks from May if you want more older version Weeknd I suppose.

    I didn't listen to early Weeknd so I am not mad about his change in style you guys reference all the time .... Album is fire.

    Production is dope, a few songs are MJ level (and sounding) , and the sam Smith bridge has me crooning in my office all day, lol.

    I've listened to it once now and hmmm. As a Weeknd fan but not a complainer that he's changed his style over his early years but...... I do have to say this is the first Weeknd project where I wasn't blown away listening to it. I actually got a bit bored. I think my boredom stretch hit from track 11-16.

    I do notice a lot of the songs production sounds similar. At parts it feels blurred because they sound so similar. Again this was my first listen and usually I LOVE his s--- on first listen (Mixtapes, Trilogy, Kiss Land, BBTM) but this one feels a bit too long which was a concern for me when I saw it was 18 tracks. Off first listen I think it would have been much better if the track list went 1-10,17,18.

    Hopefully the tracks do grow on me though. I'll give it more listens but a bit disappointed in it. Long projects are difficult to be really consistent over. Sadly, this holds true with this one. Maybe it'll change on more listens, I'm hoping at least.

    EDIT: Further listens have changed my perspective on tracks 11-16. They're starting to grow on me. Though, they're not the quality that I could see myself starting my listen at. For Example: Kiss Land I could start my listen at Wanderlust or Kiss Land and listen all the way through until I get back. BBTM same with The Hills or In The Night. But here I'm more likely to start with a track on the front side rather than that back side. But glad they're starting to grow on me.

    when trilogy is the perfect baby making music, starboy is perfect to play in the background when doing something like cleaning or just relaxing

    Yea bro how are you? I didn't post a lot recently due to my studies...
    France is not going really good, presidential elections are coming soon and the most popular politics are racists and misogynist...
