I didn't even realize this was dropping soon, he just tweeted it right when I checked twitter.

Download is going so slow, though.
 
I like the first track but i need some lyrics cause his vocals are lacking in clarity, which is very important to me.

wtf is he saying in the chorus?

Why are lyrics so important to you, he says some cheesy cringe-worthy ass shit anyway. Do you worry about the lyrics when listening to Sigur Ros or the Cocteau Twins as well?

The Weeknd sings about three things:

- Doing drugs, drugs and more drugs. Preferably at the same time.
- Fucking women on said drugs.
- Feeling guilty about it afterwards yet coming back for more.
 
godamn you hulkshare, i can't get Track 04 XO: The Host to play or extract properly

Dirt Diana, woah, didn't expect that and first track too!
 
How do I get rid of this?

Taking on an MJ cover is risky business, but he's done an amazing job. Kept the rock like soul of it, but added great Weeknd tang. Only on track one, but so far impressed.
 
Be warned it's quite different. Enjoying it though. Definitely mixed it up like I wanted, my opinion's on hold for now.
 
Oh cool, I just check out House of Balloons, this guy is awesome. I really hate RnB, but this guy is kind of brilliant.
 
Oh my god, Juicy J OUT OF NOWHERE, this is almost as crazy as Birdman's ramblings on Take Care. Holy shit, I am in awe of how unnecessary this is. Good god.
 
"Outside" is exactly where I wanted Weeknd to go voice wise. All the people complaining he's just a moaner, eat your heart out....
 
This is some pretty experimental shit. Very good production, though it is all over the place. But in a cool, often funky, sometimes mad, but confident way. Where other albums and EP's fool around and fumble with diversity clumsily, I feel like this EP at least keeps me entertained and interested to see what's up next.

There's moments of greatness, but I think the way it darts about stops some of the tracks from truly rooting themselves. Definitely will need several listens.
