Both link are alive and kicking. Try again?
He just got rid of the CDQs, so that's probably why they were down for a second.

whoa it came out already?
I guess they sound worse because they're different from the mixtapes? What You Need didn't have the sample at the beginning and HoB/Glass Table Girls sounded off. His vocals on The Morning's chorus almost sounds brighter but not necessarily a good thing. I dunno.
Edit: Yeah, no Aaliyah sample.

Good lord the new stuff is great.
Oh okay thanks. Sorry I didn't understand. That's a shame about the Aaliyah sample, and Hob/Glass Table Girls was my second favourite too. Guess I'll just have to hear it for myself.
I am surprised the Aaliyah sample was cut. I can't imagine it would have too much trouble being cleared... The Weeknd's great friends with Drake and I would figure he could of pulled some strings considering he is releasing a new album for her.
Finally got around to Thursday and enjoying it a lot more. Thursday (the track) is really good. Damn.
The Zone: still great. Drums had some tweaking though?
From the snippets, Valerie was my next favorite. Enemy I didn't really care for but we'll see. I definitely try to like it since it sampled The Smiths.

They took out Aaliyah's vocals on What You Need and that sexy ass Japanese sample on Coming Down 
Great video! His proper debut LP will be great, especially that it's not being rushed out.
It rubs me the wrong way when I see spoiled people post on his facebook and other outlets calling him lazy for not releasing anything this year... after putting out three quality albums for free in the span of a year. Really sad.

Always wanted to get into The weeknd, just couldn't. I do like some of his songs though. High For This and Rolling Stone are my favorites.
What songs from the album should I check out first?

It may seem like a lot but listen to every project of his from beginning to end in sequential order first.
House of Balloons -> Thursday -> Echoes of Silence.

Damn, that video is just so good. I didn't feel like the other videos were capturing the weeknd vibe I get. The zone hits it perfectly!

Hit or miss? Gone is the worst offender. It sounds fucking awful now, like really fucking bad. Most of the tracks can fit squarely in "Eh, they didn't need to change but this is alright" or "this sounds better" camps though.
Echoes gained the most from the remaster. A lot of tracks on Echoes have a much bigger and better soundscape now. D.D. is more epic, the kicks in Same Old Song are bigger etc.
Basically all the earlier shit, the sample heavier stuff took the biggest hit. It's worth the upgrade though, even with the bad and if you played the living shit out of these tapes like I did, it feels nice giving the dude some support.
On the vinyl front, someone on a vinyl forum said one was coming. No confirmation or anything official yet though.
cool then. wanna help the man so I'll grab the CD when I get my next paycheck. if the vinyl's up in the air I don't feel like waiting, been meaning to spend less by buying discs more often anyway.

i was gonna come here and complain about "gone" but looks like you already got to it. it sounds absolutely horrible.
the 3 new songs are good, but i hate that "super mario mushroom" sound during the hook of "twenty eight". i think this, and a whole bunch of the songs are just over produced. trilogy for the most part sounds like a "limp" versions of his mixtapes..some just dont quite have the punch as the originals.
im happy to give the guy my 12 bucks but i wont be replacing the mixtape songs with the trilogy.
Does Future Shop and Best Buy not carry the CD in Canada? Checked both sites and found nothing unless my search skills are shit. Pretty weird considering you would think one of the largest retailers in the country which was once Canadian (Future Shop) would at least carry an artist from Canada. All 3 tapes have been on my iPhone and gotten tonnes of play but for $10 I'm in just for the 3 tracks and remaster.

Just bought the album. Really sexy package, very well put together. Nice having a booklet for each mix tape with artwork and stuff.
House of Balloons was the soundtrack to my second year at University so no issues dropping £10 on this.

I found it for $10 at HMV, discounted from $15.99 ... weird considering it came out on Tuesday. I checked Best Buy and Future Shop online prior, I didn't see it either. Not sure what's going on, but HMV has it, if you're close to one.
Twenty Eight and Valerie are amazing.
