The Weeknd - HOUSE OF BALLOONS is PERFECT! 

Everyone collectively lost their shit when he started singing House of Balloons during the Super Bowl

wicked games makes me miss a girl ive never even met

So nostalgic

The Morning is a timeless masterpiece

Coming Down is definitely one of his most underrated songs

yezzzzir

So is "is PERFECT" a new series? Cause if it's not i'm suing

HOB was beautiful , EOS was Intoxicating and THURSDAY was numbing.

Why does no one talk about how good High for This is

I'm not the only one that wants Shawn to have a podcast just talking about his life and such...just me?

XO

So are Thursday and Echoes, but yall aint ready for that discussion...

THIS IS A HAPPY HOUSE, WE’RE HAPPY HERE

The Weeknd himself posting you on ig is the biggest W

Don’t let this distract you from the fact that House of Balloons remains Fantano’s worst review.

This man Fantano really gave this masterpiece a 3/10🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

When The Weeknd shouts you out on Instagram:

This man’s objective analysis and personal connection to this album is fuckin goated

Shawn really sounds like an old head when they show you their old music and tell stories about them😭😭

Trilogy, Kissland, and eventually After Hours, will all be classics.

This album came out around the time I was in the most toxic and intoxicating relationship of my life thus far. He was the only person I 💘 more than myself. Our communication was horrible even though we could often read each others minds before we would say a word. The sex was like an out of body spiritual experience and feelings kept us together for a rocky 3 years. We both had our vices. We hated that we loved each other. We wanted to keep each other but knew deep down that it wouldn't last. The soul ties were hard to break. I still have never felt a visceral emotional soul connection like that in my life. After we ended I was never the same. I learned and grew a lot from that relationship. The soundtrack of that relationship was The Weeknd, Miguel and Drake 2010 - 2013. The best times to be in the club btw. Those night's with that music playing was magic.

I pray anyone that sees this is successful in life

i’d give this a 3/10 bc the house isn’t actually made of balloons

Finally, I've been telling people this is literally perfect, but no one ever agreed with me.

What’s this!?? Shawn just randomly hittin us with this throwback ight we dig that

First time listening to the Knowing after a break up was intense

The best mixtape of all time

Listened to after hours like 2 weeks ago and in that time span I’ve listened to Abels whole discography, why in the god damn fuck is this man that fucking good

Loft Music is the absolute best song IMO. The beat, the bars, the vocals, its a fucking masterpiece of a song. Loft Music gives me that special feeling as if its the first time im hearing it

*We all know Shawn's unreleased R&B album would've been 37 times more influential than this "Apartment Of Inflated Condoms"*

I’m glad you made this. I been listening to this album recently, this album hits different than any other album I’ve heard in my life, so clouded yet cozy...

Im so glad that new fans are going to discover his old music

i remember listening to HOB last year, and it was the remedy for the most darkest period of my life. When i heard the rest of the trilogy i was sold on why ppl loved old weeknd. dude is super talented and dark and he was only 21 when he made that mixtape. crazy its gonna be 10 yearss this year.

I didn't feel this project as much when It came out, I was 19 years old and going through so many changes, a lot things where happening. But it really is a masterpiece, it definitely will be a time stamp on music history to take in consideration for the shaping of the sound of the 2010s

I can relate, I first started listening to The Weeknd during my freshmen year of high school too. I can remember just loving the sound of his voice and the productions of the beats. I knew the lyrics, and would sing along. But it wasn't until I was 18 and a freshmen in college, that I came to the realization of what Abel was really singing in his songs.

Top 3 mixtape of the decade, a classic and a masterpiece. The Weekend has never missed.

I definitely agree with the title of this video. Zodiac/Jeremy Rose is criminally underrated when it comes to influential producers

I mess with the new transactional relationship Shawn is drawing to the music and his personal experiences and how the aesthetics of a song impacted him at some point in his life. I noticed the shift and I am with it. Love it!

Starting listening to him last year,easily my one of my favorite artists now. Never listened music this relatable

dude you have no idea how much i resonate with everything you just said. thank you for putting the thoughts and emotions that ive had about this album into words

Man... The Knowing... good lord it still gets me.

Party & The After Party was the one for me and till this day if I go back listening to it again I know the lyrics by heart lol. I was 20 when he dropped in 2012 and now I'm 30 thinking like wow I been thru some shit frfr. I'm happy that now Abel in a happy route of being sober and love himself as a human being. For people who listen to The Weeknd from 2011 thru 2022 we graduate together from his music so salute to y'all.

10 years later, still listen to this like it just came out.. that's when you know it's a classic!

Shawn Cee is getting back in time listening to these albums.

literally had just asked myself if u had dropped this video today yet, wow

Weeknd when he was at his prime wait naw the Weeknd is still at his prime 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Everything this man just said... RELATABLE !! THE WEEKND WAS REALLY A BIG PART OF MY CHILDHOOD.

10 years later and this one still gets to me

Your perspective and explanation are a conversation i didn’t know i needed. Perfect mixtape

This masterpiece aged fine like wine!

Weekend’s best project hands down besides beauty behind the madness. This is takes the cake . Coming down is forever my favorite song by him & helped me understand everything at young age .

This EP forever changed the landscape of R&B. Legend.

I could never relate to The Weeknd’s lyrics, but the music was so different yet so good, I immediately became a fan.

this does put a smile on my face

From being homeless to performing in Super Bowl. House Of Balloons changed the R&B sound forever and is perfect no lie. And he‘s still making good albums man I'm proud of him. (Btw when will you drop your R&B album?)

the weeknd doesn’t have a single miss. not a single song

House of balloons is still my favorite weeknd project. I agree with everything you said in this video!

When I listened to this about a year ago I couldn’t see past his shallowness because I didn’t know there was a meaning behind it. Definitely revisiting

Appreciating the love of Coming Down, amazing track

How funny that you just posted this. I recently just started getting into the The Weeknd, and I just discovered House of Balloons and I’m literally obsessed with it.

💯 my bestfriend at the time introduced me to him during highschool and never fell out of love with this album. Truly a piece of art

I was a heavy user, abuser, and boarder line alcoholic when I found this album, it was all I listened to for a year straight whilst getting trashed with random people in my massive apartment with no furniture thinking I was living minimal when in fact I was just to lazy, drunk, high, and poor to buy furniture 🤦🏾‍♂️ I basically based my entire personality around this musical art piece. I remember this and Drake's simp music era (marvins room, trust issues, I get lonely, all being extremely influential in my coming of age story, unfortunately it wasn't a happy ending, I progressed into a fully blown addict by my early 20's and had a daughter I clearly wasn't mature enough to look after so missed the first few years of her life. I'm now sober and have a great relationship with my daughter, whenever I listen to this album it brings back all kinds of emotion, both good and bad.

My favorite project of last decade it just gives u a feeling that no there artist has been able to capture

I love how Shawn is being so expressive with us aswell as being super vague about things lol

I loved the “IYRTITL” video you did and this one. Love hearing your personal connections with all the songs and just them as an artist. It’s what makes me like your channel a lot. House of Balloons is an AMAZING record. Not a single miss. “The Party & The After Party” has to be one of my most fav songs from The Weeknd. Shit makes me want to act up

I also first listened to the weeknd when I was 15. It was just before bbtm was released and it was a really bad part of my life and I felt like I was unconsciously playing the bad guy that orchestrated all the mess I have been in as a defense mechanism just to avoid getting hurt. And that’s why trilogy and kiss land really resonated with me. That’s the reason why the weeknd will forever be special to me and i’m so proud to see how far he has become.

i will never forget listening to this album in it's entirety for the first time all the way back when I first found out about him. everyone was loving on his most recent album but I always heard all this talk about Trilogy and how it was the best thing they had ever heard. as SOON as i heard that first drop on High For This i was instantly hooked. and the rest is history, now he is my favorite artist to ever live and he performed at the SUPER BOWL. it's so crazy to see how far he's came but i'm so grateful for this album, it's gotten me through so much shit in my life and will forever have a place in my heart.

just a reminder that the weeknd has 4 9/10s, 2 8/9s

I heard him for the first time on MTV, Wicked Games. Fan ever since.

house of balloons is a timeless masterpiece

I love these videos, hearing him talk about the subliminal meaning behind the songs really changes the whole listening experience for me

Shawn always been delivering the best videos during quarantine

Ima need more of this series

I love how you break down these albums

“What You Need” is such a ✨vibe✨

The party and the after party has been my favorite Weeknd song since I first started blasting Trilogy 5 years ago.... always slaps

The Knowing just hits different for me cause I've been cheated on before, almost every relationship in fact and I've never really cried. Like, I'll get sad or whatever, but I just accept it. That track is literally my theme

Ngl.. High for this was the song that got me into the weekend, ughhh one of my favorites.. but Echoes of Silence and Valerie. Those are my heart.

I have been waiting so long for you to do a video on The Weeknd. you did not disappoint. worth the wait. thank you

I’ve been waiting for this. My whole life

HOB will always be a masterpiece, when it came out it was so out of the norm of what was popular in music. Now it’s definitely flooded with dark RnB.

Coming down is literally life! Bro with the Japanese sample

damn, I just started listening to this album this week and am in love with it. funny you’re dropping this video today

2013--2014 was when i discovered Weekend and I listened to this album nonstop I do not know why I just did and I still listen to the trilogy every now and then still

The whole trilogy collection fye

This piece of The Weeknd’s career was iconci

My favorite mixtape of all time. Not one miss

Shawn, I’m loving this series of videos so far, never thought these albums were so good

Listening to this reaction was borderline psychoanalyzing myself, I think anyone that's a fan of the weekend's older work has some sort of struggle they were going through and even if you weren't going through the exact struggles he was there were still ways that we all can relate.

This calls for a Happy Birthday to the KING of R&B

This mixtape is slowly becoming one of my all time favorite albums/mixtapes of all time. Like top 20 even.

House of Balloons was just magical. Came out when I was 20. Great times.

The Knowing is just too good

The thing about house of balloons is that it has the power to place any one of us with the energy behind it, making it in my opinion maybe the seminal song of this generation. Everyone remembers the first time they heard House.

The title got me. The knowing was my life. Still my favorite song by him. When I seen the video 😳. I love it

abel just portrays my personal vibe in the most accurate way possible, xotwod🖤

Shawn Cee went from fighting FKA Twigs last video to loving her thats a 180 spin

Kissland too, a very overlooked masterpiece

Found The Weeknd in late 2012 and my life hasn’t been the same since. XOTWOD

to this day, the intro to Coming Down still gives me goosebumps and puts me in a trance for the whole song. Legendary track.
