[mysticwhip]

cheesy title.
Never really got into the weeknd but i'll check this out

 

[Swag]

Not sure which cover I like more, the fan made balloons one or this one.

 

[MorisUkunRasik]

OMGOMG

 

[cory.]

This is pretty different from the first two tapes so far.

 

[Nivert]

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

Download is going so slow, though.

 

[DominoKid]

Not sure which cover I like more, the fan made balloons one or this one.

fan made one is better. imma wait until later in the night to get in the proper mood.

 

[Swag]

Yeah after looking at this one for a bit, don't really think it's all that great. I somewhat miss the balloon theme

 

[Tucah]

Downloaded in like 30 seconds for me.

First track is fucking great.

 

[Crumpet Trumpet]

OMGGg he been messing with my heart all day today and now it's actually here

 

[dream]

Is that cover supposed to be an overdose? Or date rape?

 

[Soma]

Loving this first track oh man.

 

[mysticwhip]

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?

 

[Snakeyes]

Is the DL corrupted for anyone else?

 

[cory.]

It's the shortest of the 3 albums. Not by much though.

 

[Nivert]

Is the DL corrupted for anyone else?

Yeah mine was. Trying again now :/

 

[HiResDes]

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

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?

 

[iavi]

Wow, he actually covers Michael and doesn't sound like shit in comparison. This is pretty badass.

 

[Snakeyes]

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?

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.

 

[mysticwhip]

Idk, they just are. It's why I hate Sigur Ros and love The Beatles.

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

I never realized how much he sounded like Michael Jackson until this opening track.

 

[Sliver]

Hulkshare is so slow. Use mediafire buddy.

 

[Snakeyes]

OK the album is not only corrupted, but I can't even delete it from the desktop. :\

 

[mysticwhip]

Hulkshare is so slow. Use mediafire buddy.

It downloaded in like 30 seconds for me. Maybe it's the traffic.

 

[Soma]

haha @ both Dirty Diana and Echoes Of Silence are top trending topics on twitter right now

nice

 

[Kave_Man]

For some reason it keeps saying track 4 is encrypted and I can't download it...

 

[iavi]

I never realized how much he sounded like Michael Jackson until this opening track.

That's the one inspiration that I always felt the dude wore on his sleeve.

 

[DangerousMali]

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!

 

[Snakeyes]

How do I get rid of this?

 

[nib95]

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.

 

[PhoenixDark]

The Host, for those who don't have it

[nib95]

Be warned it's quite different. Enjoying it though. Definitely mixed it up like I wanted, my opinion's on hold for now.

 

[Onemic]

GETTINGGG

 

[Kave_Man]

Loving it so far, so far better than Thursday IMO.

edit: Also thanks for track 4.

 

[Soma]

"THE WEEKND MUSIC MAKES THE LADIES PANTIES GET WET"

uh yeah

that was kinda outta nowhere

 

[cory.]

Finished, that was really amazing.

 

[Ex:2]

WOW at that 1st track!

I like it!

 

[gdt]

Oh cool, I just check out House of Balloons, this guy is awesome. I really hate RnB, but this guy is kind of brilliant.

 

[onlyindreams]

"THE WEEKND MUSIC MAKES THE LADIES PANTIES GET WET"

uh yeah

that was kinda outta nowhere

destroyed the flow of the album :\ i'm gonna splice it out of my copy i think

 

[mysticwhip]

"THE WEEKND MUSIC MAKES THE LADIES PANTIES GET WET"

uh yeah

that was kinda outta nowhere

yo wtf I just heard that, lololololololol. It kinda sounded like charlie Murphy.

 

[Cudder]

It finally came out? FUUUUUUUUU

 

[SuperAndroid17]

Track 02 : Montreal

Feeling it , best song of the album for me.

 

[Snakeyes]

D.D. erased all my disappointment with Thursday.

 

[Galang]

Wow I didn't expect this today, amazing surprise! And Clams Casino, can't wait !

 

[SpeedingUptoStop]

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.

 

[Tokubetsu]

Those drums!

Yes, it is an amazing cover indeed!

[Tokubetsu]

"Outside" is exactly where I wanted Weeknd to go voice wise. All the people complaining he's just a moaner, eat your heart out....

 

[nib95]

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.
