I think it’s one of those projects that holds more meaning to people that were there when it dropped. It’s obviously great no matter what but I can understand how people who got into abel after a few albums could find it overwhelming and therefore a bit redundant but for me trilogy represents a time in my life and every track is very special. That being said I’ve grown to love kiss land more than trilogy
Facts, got so many experiences, memories, and sentimental value tied to Trilogy & Take Care
i remember playing some stuff from trilogy around people who were in a different lifestyle (just all round happy/good/kindhearted people and didn't care about being 'cool') and the lyrics genuinely left them with a expression
I didn’t get into him after a few albums
Then idk, I guess just different opinions. I think The Weeknd is diverse enough as an artist that not every one of his fans needs to think trilogy is his best, contrary to what many hardcores might say.
I can understand your criticism when reviewing the longform piece, especially with the mixing choices that were made
but the original tapes?
You have to be in the mood to listen, that’s all
Yeah honestly now that I fel in love the past few weeks this s*** is hittin
what you need and coming down samples being taken out one of the biggest massacres in music
I’m talking about the mixtapes. Each tape suffers from this
The mixtapes have a different feeling than the remastered trilogy. Idk how to explain it
Trilogy mastering is weird af, specially the Thursday songs. Gone is completely unlistenable for me
Yeah idk how to explain
His early tapes are for listening to at night alone. His albums you can listen to anywhere. That however certainly doesn't make them "boring"
The mixtapes have a different feeling than the remastered trilogy. Idk how to explain it
It’s the mixing
Yeah idk how to explain
The elements are very clipped, it's very noticeable on Wicked Games for example

Exactly
Just even the wait between the mixtapes and The Weeknds rise and come up thru it all is part of the story
You cant even understand it if The Weeknd was already a star to you when you heard it
The fact he was a unknown underground up and coming musician dropping this type of music is one of the main reasons why it hits so hard
If you weren’t a d*** addict w girl problems in 2011..
House of Balloons is the only really fire one. They all go downhill from there
