And thing is you can divide the album clearly by sections/acts.

see vz thread all kinds of opinions in here you don't gotta hide

Sao Paulo definitely stands out
Crazy energy on that

Niagara falls is the one

How's the album doing numbers wise

YE CO-SIGN

ok 3rd play finished
only songs I didnt like were give me mercy and the last 3 tracks
everything else I enjoy while listening but almost immediately forget how they sound when they end (apart from the singles)
and some songs remind me too much of that weird pop delivery he had on some starboy tracks that I cant stand.
I thiknk cry for me my fav so far (vocal effects a la initiation wouldve fit perfectly so much that I keep expecting it around the 2 minute mark)

oh BROTHER

I can feel it
Girl, pick up your phone, I can't believe it
I can feel my spirit slowly leaving
I can't see myself and I'm not breathing

Hate this washed ass nigga now. Useless to the culture in 2025

What does he mean by this lol

AI isolating the drums so he can use it on another song

interesting thing i noticed comparing the single to the first pressing for São Paulo:

that first note is louder in the first pressing, and The Weeknd’s vocals are mixed a little different at the very beginning until “i love it when you turn me on” comes in, then it’s the exact same for the rest of the song

weird that they tweaked that little bit and nothing else

Saw a graphic on ig comparing this debut to Bad Bunny’s newest s*** and was shocked.
I knew Able’s was bigger, but it was almost by 20 million streams.
That’s no shade to BB, but it feels good seeing this album being so well received and streamed so often

Cause like, Bad Bunny is f***ing globally enormous

I just wanna drive

I just wanna drive tomorrow

Yeah depends on what my mood is

That lana vocal reverb thing at the end of the abyss is like the s*** you hear before heaven

Why tf wasn't red terror and video dropped in October man

This rollout was so bungled. I feel like the project got over a***yzed after the film was picked up. These 2 things should have been separate

Salute broski

crine he could just ask mike dean

I WANT HEAVEN
