Remastered trilogy being removed from streaming? This part of gearing up for final Weeknd album?

first sign of life since ages

what is he up to being so silent

did this forum died? is there a new one? abel looking fresh

It’s dead until album news

brotha. the album is coming after the tour so that's months on months on months

Nahhhh

Sooner

Thursday hat hell yeah

next friday

And I emptied out my cards too

part of Abel being pretentious and corny

It wasn’t removed. He just replaced the remastered mixes with the original mixtape and kept the bonus tracks. The whole purpose for the trilogy album in the first place was because he couldn’t get samples cleared originally.

No he is pretentious and corny!

yea and thats f***ing bullshit

how is it bullshit?

no reason to remove remasters especially when a lot of people like them more than the originals

and it's lowkey disrespectful to Illangelo and master engineers who worked on them

like i said already, the only reason that album even exists was because he couldn’t get sample clearance at the time. now that he finally was able to get it, he wants people to listen to his mixtapes in its original state. i would understand it being an issue if he removed the bonus tracks, but he didn’t.

except the samples are present only on 2 songs, while all others had a singnificant improvement compared to the originals.

Both versions could coexist and they did for a year, but he had to get petty

yeah ion see the point of completely removing them, just have the orginal and then have the 2012 remasters as an alternate version thats not on the discog page

A looot of the echoes songs sound way better on the remaster

I get what you’re saying, but ultimately I’m not gonna feel some type of way if that’s how Abel intends for his music to be listened to. I definitely prefer the remastered versions of some songs, especially in the car as you can really hear the differences in details. Also probably cause I’ve listened to them so much lol. But like BG said, literally the only reason they exist is because of sample issues which are cleared now so

crazy i was listening/made a playlist of the og trilogy out of respect and then he does this. i appreciate the remasters bc they improved the quality and allowed youu to hear his vocals clearly. the ogs are great, but they have a muddy mix that dims the quality a bit.

Ngl Trilogy remasters were infinitely superior. Should've just updated them with the missing samples
