this is the direction kiss land was going to go, and then Belong to the World Dropped and everyone called him a sell out lol. good times

« belong to the world is pop s*** like hannah montana disney » - ktt1

The fact that this didn't got any praise when it came out gets me heated.
So ahead of its time

Bro imagine a whole sound with this dark ass s***. No one has taken this songs sound and made a whole album in that noise.

Even Abel himself hasnt revisited this sound.

People were loving this when it came out. You guys really go to town on fetishising the concept of angry Trilogy stans lmao. Whatever floats your boat.

this and also his video titled Roman Polanski

people loved this, this was the new dark sound, people hated of Belong to the World, when it came out.

im not fetishizing, i hated on it too.

Was talking about Kiss Land the album not single

It did though

Seriously like wtf? Most of these people probably weren’t even around they’re just making s*** up

I swear I can remember critics and the general population trashing it.
Only debuted at #2 on billboard.
KTT loved it tho but the general population not really.
As years have passed they are starting to see the light lol

I was around man ¯\(ツ)/¯ .
Idk tho may be wrong

I dont get it this is just Kiss Land the song lol

Let me explain. Kiss Land the title track dropped before the rest if the ablum.

Abel was tweeting that he is making a scary af album with this songs sound.

Then he disappeared for some time and dropped belong to the world.
And abandonned that dark sound that he made in this song.

It was debated that this dark sound was gonna be all of kiss land album, but Abel later made it softer and more cinematic and we got what the kiss land album is today.

Make fans after hearing the vaat difference between the vibe if this travk and Belong to the World, called him a sell out. Because BTTW was apparently too poppy.

So just speculation lol Idk to me Kiss land sounds pretty dark and cinematic anyway and I think it was the sound he was aiming for anyway

If you’re talking about the album then yes you were right.

I thought you were referring to the JC snippet

Yeah should've been clearer that its about the album

Say what you want about the OGs, at least our threads made sense.

bruh this is not even that old lmao

John Carpenter should do a remix of Escape From LA

lmao bruh u telling me wasnt around?\

i meant people hated on Belong to the World. and they did. you were literally there on ktt1 lmao.

Oh yeah for sure people hated on BTTW, I was talking about people saying the JC snippet was getting hate

Even then it was an even split of people enjoying it and people disliking it.

And if you came to The Weeknd for Trilogy-style music, is it really so preposterous that you wouldn't like BTTW? I'm saying this as someone who loved BTTW from the jump lmao.

This is honestly one of the worst threads I have ever seen.
