you can tell it was vapid because his "character" was literally nothing but aesthetics
You can check my posts in The Weeknd Release thread as well as many other weeknd threads during the first week of release.
I have no reason to cap on here lol
going by your posts outside of the album release thread, it sounds like you only f*** with a few tracks, but dislike the album as a whole, cause most of your takes so far have been more negative than positive tbh, but hey
AH grew on me his best album for sure
You obviously aren't down for actual discussion and just want to hate
I believe OP didn’t switch up due to sales. I haven’t even seen what they are (what are they?) and I was like “this is AMAZING!” At first but now I’m just like “this is cool “

Thank you. The same posters in here who call my favorite artists mysterious music are the same ones saying I’m switching up on The Weeknd due to the sales
Make it make sense
His first project since Trilogy that I’ve really just been loving honestly
It honestly gets better and better to me with each listen.
Great album. Over it tho.
Wtf does this even mean. This sums up 90% of music sxn opinions. Nigga stand for something.

What it means is that the album’s good and its been out over a week and i dont feel the need to listen to it everyday
Afrer a while we’ll see if i go back to it often or not. Thats whats really gonna say how good the album is.
Tbh, I just haven't listened to the project yet, I love Weeknd, but when s*** gets super hyped, I gotta wait til it dies and I still feel the hype is here
Lol you have no clue what you’re talking about
My point is that the weekend’s whole approach to making music is like stranger things. Rip off vintage styles to appeal to a consumer base that is increasingly receptive to nostalgic aesthetics. There is not a single new idea he presents on the album. It’s “80 inSpiReD” so? There’s nothing original he’s just remaking what’s already been made and moaning about being a junkie. This is what Bruno Mars does and this what the Weeknd is doing. He got into Scorsese and bites his movies for his lame music videos. At least with drake we know he’s unoriginal and repetitive, the Weeknd hides behind marketing and patinas to mask the fact that he makes average and recyclable music
You did not listen to this album, 3 songs being very 80s like does not prove your point, there's like 4 d*** references in the album, you're litteraly just saying s*** just to say s***
Not even trying to be a stan but how off can you be ? Y'all think anything with synths is 80s rehashing how tf ? And saying The Weeknd's music is just Stranger things in music form is so ignorant, he has passion for this era and pays homage ti it, Stranger Things litteraly needs to shove easter eggs in your face every second, is The weeknd doing this ? Not at all wtf
