The Weeknd Thread ( "The Dawn FM" OUT NOW)

[Vincent Van Goat]

Valerie, Lonely Star, Montreal, Till Dawn, Tears In The Rain, Pretty, As You Are and In The Night-- went over these tracks today on my run... the MJ factor is just 

The way he can channel it and make it his own

Bruh used to be normal. People that savage aren't born, they are made

If I was him though, I use all the dark grungy Nirvana style tracks for the next album. He'd be able to get away with it as "experimenting" and the minute he plugs in the Nirvana inspiration people will eat it up.

Drugs and booze also bring out a certain side of folks. Being a savage 24/7 isn't easy b 

 

He probably was smagin her back in the day

Anyone listing Lonely Star bottom 5 must not understand what dude is saying on the song

Bottom 5 for me:

Life of the Party
Heaven or Las Vegas
Dark Times
Glass Table Girls
Losers

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

I legit squared up when I read Outside, Montreal and Lonely Star being bottom 5 material

Abel is closing out MIA this weekend

I can not wait

Some of these Bottom 5's 

 

 

[octobersveryown]

this is out of control 

 

[a blinkin]

Most of my bottom 5 were just to rust Jimmies, the jig is up. Dudes in here know there's only two tracks I really think are terrible from homie. Outside isn't deserving of being on a bottom 5 list. But it is my second least favorite on EoS following DD.

I understand music is subjective, but maybe someone can chime in on just what it is about Life of the Party and Heaven or Las Vegas that they dislike. HoLV is damn bear gospel music to me. In my book, it's the best close out/ending song on any of his projects. EoS is a close second.

I feel like it's gonna be 2025 and we're gonna be arguing whether kiss land was classic or mediocre lol

All I know is it took the music industry years to understand the greatness of Here, My Dear and 808s

 

[scotthallwithapick]

Wow at The Knowing being the worst closing song of the Triliogy. LOL we will never agree on anything except Weeknd makes amazing music.

 

[a blinkin]

I think the thing with ranking is that the last place recipient is automatically assumed to be bad. I love the knowing. But man, HoLV reaches me on a different level based on the antics I had to Thursday. I had a girl say "start that over" when the cd ended. Mid sesh. And EoS is just so damn somber and depressing, and takes me back to when I lost a good girl to my antics. The Knowing is a classic still though. Just doesn't resonate with me like that because I don't have any strong memories attached to it. Individually I'd listen to it over EoS. But when I listen to each project all the way through, I just find the ending of Thursday and EoS to be "better". If that makes any sense.

dude touting abel as growing for dumming down the music for more sales

he always had the hit making ability it's just now he seems to be pursuing it

 

[Mister Meaner]

Y'all can go back and forth but at the end of the day, word to Cam'ron, Kiss Land is hot fire while BBTM is tepid water. Making music more "accessible" is indeed a good thing for his career, but what made him the young gawd was that raw material. KL is poetry with the essence of the Trilogy.

This is something else . It's a good pop album with traces of the young gawd.

 

[broncos19dm]

A collab would be dope

Thanks for posting. I swear most of the crowd is why I hate going to live shows now (at least fighting to get to the front). People rather stand still with their arms up recording the whole damn show on their phone instead of enjoying the show. I'd imagine artists would rather their audience be there to enjoy the performance instead of recording them the whole time.

It's a weird culture we in 

 that's like every show these days... cameras up. Aint nobody give a damn about your shaky, unfocused camera phone video footage 

 

[delete1234]

LOL at initiation being bottom 5


***** this whole ******* album is bottom 5

 

[Gordonson]

Those videos remind me of when he first started performing around the Greater Toronto Area and had that rule of cameras not being allowed at his shows

I remember a few folks managed to get by that and blessed us with the visuals, but I bet he forced most of them to truly enjoy the show.

I always imagine that most people end up getting home and realizing that their videos are complete ****, full of shaky visuals and vocals drowned out by the crowd's awful singing

I've seen bruh twice now, but never seen him do "Coming Down" - have any of you?

Nope

What songs would be on you guys' ideal set lists? Not just the songs you like the most, but what songs do you think would be dope to see perform live in a crowd full of people? Take into account the energy of a concert setting and what not.

The Fall is a must. To hard to choose
