its rare that i can listen to a tune on repeat without getting sick of it. initiation is most definitely one of those




those pitched vocals are a sick joke!

[DJDM]

is it just me?

Yesyesyes hands down the best track by him/the xo crew. I hear on various, albeit pretty unstable sources, that Echoes of Silence is out Wednesday

Had it playing on repeat last night and today had House of Balloons and Thursday on the go again.

Both albums are very hit or miss for me.
I absolutely love the style of the weeknd though, they really put a lot of macho hip-hop cliché's to the test and manage to really alienate their audience through downright depressing lyrical content coupled with rather melodious productions.
Any way, I think Balloon Houses has three or four absolutely great tracks, but also 3-4 I always skip. The same for Thursday. But I've enjoyed the tracks I like immensely.

[Maccaveli]

I still play both his albums at least twice a week, there's only a couple of songs here and there that I don't love. I've had House of Balloons since June and it's already one of my most played albums ever. Really hope there's big things ahead for this guy, he deserves it

[abs]

yeah i get what people say about the good tunes being amazing, and the bad ones being plain awful.. but i love the mood it sets and the general aesthetics of it all.

anyone seen the live videos on youtube? either he's completely reliant on auto-tune or just a terrible singer live, in nearly all the videos i've watched he hardly hits any right notes

[say_whut]

It's kind of hard to judge based on a youtube video though, I mean none of them are of that high quality. Every written article I've read on his performance seems to be largely positive.

[Muncey]

I hate nearly all of R&B but The Weeknd is a don, Glass Table Girls is such a tune and the bass in High For This is incredible.. a truely sensational opening song for a great album! Looking forward to more!

[Maccaveli]

New album's out and its awesome

[wayfarer__]

got me a new d.f account - what better way to break the post virginity than to post about a hip hop album?
big album, on rotation now.

[Johnlenham]

Wake up to news this is out and its still free!

Would pay real cash money for a 3 album vinyl box set thing!

[untightled]

what better way to end an already stellar year than to just release yet another solid mixtape?

[say_whut]

This has made my day. It's the perfect blend of darkness and effects that I felt was either too much or too lacking on tracks from Thursday. Weeknd are hands down the best thing to come out of 2011.

EDIT: How fucking sick is it in XO/The Host when Initiation gets introduced?Aw mann

[abs]

yes, straight in with a bit of MJ, large up the weeknd

[say_whut]

XO onwards is just darkness, so sick

[joeki]

I like it better than Thursday. But again, the majority of the tracks are pretty meh. Not even touches "House of Balloons". Novelty has worn off a bit to be honest.

*R&B album

Joeki, you're really one of the only people I've seen online with that opinion. The tracks most definitely aren't meh, they're just not to your taste.

+1 to buying a triple pack of these albums, if they get a CD release I'll be buying them all on day 1. Its kinda annoying that the artist I most want to support with a purchase and own physical copies of is the one not actually selling his music, but can't really complain about this much quality for free

[joeki]

Yes, that's what I said, I think they're MEH. Not all of them though.
