The Weeknd - Starboy (November 25, 2016) Album • Page 21

yeah imo this is super uneven. i guess no song is outright bad but some of them don't do much of anything?

"love to lay" is a jam tho

 

At least there's no ed Sheeran this time

 

the worst lyric on this record is "david carradine / i'm gonna die when i cum"

 

It's full of backhanded compliments, here's a few examples:

"A handful of slowed-up love jams, despite sounding insincere as all fuck, are pretty enough"

"and Tesfaye, to his credit, sounds almost at home as his guest Kendrick Lamar does"

"this is satisfying, well-executed pop music from someone who, once upon a time, was capable of something more"

Those quotes are literally the definition of backhanded compliments, lol.

 

The only one of those that is a backhanded compliment is the Kendrick one. The other two are straightforward comments. This is absurd. Disagree with the review all you want but to act like it takes a huge dump on this album is to completely misread the actual written words.

 

i disagree that abel was ever capable of "something more"

 

It's absurd to me that you think it's not a negative analysis of the album so whatever I guess

 

Being ambivalent about something does not equal negativity

 

Let's just agree to disagree man haha

 

But take care!

 

here's a different take https://theringer.com/the-weeknd-starboy-album-review-bf5ba461f33c#.ackn3ldou

 

It's way better

 

ok bud i dont know why youd even draw the comparison to begin with but you do you i guess

 

Basically keep looping "Rockin'", "Love To Lay", and "A Lonely Night" nonstop. So, so good.

 

To make you mad

 

it just makes me roll my eyes

Liking this more after listening to it on the car stereo, but all I can think about now when I listen to "False Alarm" is BigQuint doing fucking aerobics.
