Just listened to it front to back the other day

Really good overall

The brevity and lack of reliance on cheesy pop was a good idea. When was the last time you really tried to hear BBTM or Starboy from front to back? (not knocking them or his pop side but still those two albums are too long and genuinely have some real issues with filler)

But the brevity doesn't really lead to a sense of greater focus. The last three songs feel connected to each other, but everything else feels kind of only unified by a willingness to go "dark and sad" again. There was a decent amount of experimentation but it didn't feel as fresh as the Trilogy's approach did. No way is it better overall than any installment of the Trilogy, although the fact that it's a little more playable in non-depressing situations is a win.

But overall I'd give it like a high 7 or low 8 out of 10. It felt kind of rushed, like he just dropped something random for the sake of new material for his festival touring schedule in 2018, after he scrapped the more optimistic Selena Gomez-inspired album when they broke up. It just sort of also worked out as a "reminder" to the fans that he could still make that dark s***, and to tide us over til whenever he drops Chapter 6. It didn't really feel intentional that it was so short, and the fact that it felt like it was going to be followed up by something else and still hasn't been, feels kind of suspicious/overly ambiguous and not impactful from a fan perspective.

Wasted Feelings is easily one of the best Weeknd songs of the last 4 years though.

absolute fire every song goes

i love it

Not his best but pretty good

Listened to Privilege and wasted times a lot

Boring.

Reminds me of echoes of silence, and I didn't like that song

Weeknd fam finally giving credit where it’s due KTT2 starting off right

I know it’s an ep but it was in my top 15 albums last year

Loved it

second behind trilogy but hard to listen to often because of how much it resonates :/

Falling for you was my mistake

Amazing

wish Lost in The Fire was on it though

Wasted Times is top 5 Weeknd

I Was Never There Top 10 Abel

The diet burial song & “call out my name” was cool but haven’t felt any urge to return since it dropped tbr

facts

Played this b**** consistently from when it dropped to
Around spring this year

Definitely top 3

So I poison myself again, again till I feel nothing

Mad chunes pon de head top

I really over played it so I can’t listen to it anymore

But when it first came out, call out my name, privilege, and wasted time is top tier weeknd! I was never there grew on me too. Also hurt you is over hated

literally a classic

was a bit indifferent when it came out but now its one of my favorite weeknd projects

Don't really f*** with it, sounds like a desperate attempt to reignite the trilogy flame when the fire's been already put out. Not his best production wise nor melody wise imo

God damn this my s***

The perfect combination of his Trilogy sound and his pop stuff. Really wish his next project keep this sound, but i know will be full pop
