The Weeknd - Starboy (November 25, 2016) Album • Page 14

I liked BBTM but it had its share of filler. That album does NOT prepare you for how good this one is.

 

This is definitely his best project since 2011. I love BBTM but it wasn't cohesive at all, which I'm glad to say isn't the case here

 

Ordinary Life



wow this song would fit right in on thursday i love it so much

 

OH MY GOD THE HOOK ON DIE FOR YOU, YOU GUYS

 

"Attention" is sooo good, might be my favourite so far. It's hard to pick

 

crazy how much of a comeback he's made, didn't think it was possible

 

Not only is this more cohesive than BBTM, but the songs are much stronger too. And I really like BBTM.

 

I really do think BBTM was a transitional album now. He needed to make it to find his footing in pop, and now he's making these sounds his own.

 

Definitely, it's like he fits into this whole pop sound a lot more naturally now, there were moments on BBTM that felt a little awkward/forced but there's nothing like that on here.

 

Yeah definitely, he's not stretching to try to fit into any styles that don't suit him. Instead everything feels natural.

 

18 songs and nothing feels like filler

 

I can't believe Benny Blanco had a role in True Colors... this must be the least generic-sounding thing he's ever been involved in lol

 

And there's no Ed Sheeran feature. That will forever be my least favourite moment in his entire discography haha, right next to "Live For"

 

Waking up, half past five
Blood on pillow and one bruised eye
Drunk too much, you know what I'm like
But you shoulda seen the other guy

 

Love To Lay has one of the best hooks I've heard all year

 

benny blanco is one of the more interesting songwriters in pop

 

Maybe I need to see more of what he's done, I mostly know him as the guy behind some of the shitty newer Maroon 5 singles.

 

he wrote "tik tok" when he was like 21

And "I Kissed A Girl"... yeah ok that's pretty nuts.

 

dark pop is great, we need more of it

and i was very pleasantly surprised by this record.

favorites are "a lonely night", "ordinary life", and "nothing without you".

 

mom was singing along she was like "i love his voice", "good music". i was like, "Yes i agree." haha

 

Second listen, his flow on the second verse of Reminder is intoxicating. I love this

Secrets sounds like a Brandon Flowers song which is kind of dope

 

Only seven songs in but I'm loving it. rockin into secrets was fantastic
