Omari Kenyatta haha not a big fan of JT but Pink Floyd forsure I tripped acid and listened to the entire wall album and dark side of the moon just one after the other haha
Accio Cake Stairway to heaven- Led Zeppelin is like 10 min and inna gadda da vida from Iron butterfly (the song Nas based ''hip-hop is dead on) is a little over 17 min
@@aida_acx Cheers dude, that's awesome! I've actually heard some of the Trilogy remasters since posting that comment, the House of Balloons tracks sounded mostly ok, the Thursday and Echoes of Silence ones I'm not so sure haha. Definitely see what you mean by sticking to the originals, they do sound more raw. Just curious, but what did you think about Dawn FM?
I’d play this song every time I’d get ready to go out to party, brings so many memories. 16 year old me was wild and The Weeknd’s old music reminds me of that. Now that I’m older and more mature, I can also relate to the music he makes currently. As he was growing as an artist, I was growing as a person❤️
Felix Pineda honestly that’s a whole nother discussion ... and at the end I would win it coz if future is anything he ain’t trash ... but I don’t really have the energy to convince u ... all I’ll say is nobody has more number 1’s than future since 2015 ... and anyway I said go listen to future because someone had thought the weekend was the only one who make taking drugs seem okay and future does it even more feel me 💆🏾♂️
Hey Guys, I’m a big fan of The Weeknd and I just made a motivational video about his life and career and I would really appreciate you guys checking it out. I really put a lot of dedication and effort into this video to make it the best I can and my goal is for Abel to hopefully see it or at least hear about it. So if you can just do me a solid as a fan and check it out that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much and I hope everyone stays safe!!

Trilogy is House of Baloon, Thursday, and Echoes of Silence. Its all three C.D's in one. Fyi. And in my opinon KissLand is more exotic. More Understandable.
Ha. Its just different. Like "kissland" the song is Player. And Adaption, Professional. Ect. Its just an overall different theme. Explaining the cover is in japan. Just like all the music videos from the album.
I wish I could hear this for the first time again omg I would give anything lol. Yeah please listen to all the old mixtapes. I was in high school when this all came out. So good, changed my taste in music.
1- The Party and The After Party 2- House of Balloons/ Glass Table Girls 3- High For This 4- The Zone 5- Rolling Stone 6- Next 7- Twenty Eight 8- Loft Music 10- Lonely Star 11- XO/ The Host 12 Thursday . My fav songs from the « Trilogy » ❌⭕️💊
1. The morning 2. High For This 3. Wicked Games 4. Outside 5. The Party and The After Party 6. XO/The Host 7. Initiation 8. The Zone 9. Montreal 10. The Birds Pt.2 11. Gone 12. The Knowing
One of the classics from House Of Balloons. Can't believe it's been 5 going on 6 years since the release of this classic mixtape. It's so bittersweet seeing The Weeknd progress so far because at one point he was deadass all our secret. He might not ever go to the exact same murky, dark, alternative R&B like HOB, Thursday & Echoes of Silence but it's still XO til we overdose.
Y’all talking about how you miss hearing this song for the first time while this is my first time hearing it💀 feel kinda ashamed I didn’t hear it sooner not even gonna lie
Congrats to new fans who actually appreciate the older music even if you don't like it as much as abel's new stuff, at least check it out. Much better in my opinion.
Still insane to know that i was younger than 10 years old when my brother played this song and I immediately became obsessed with the beat. Happy birthday Abel
he owned this era, you really had to be there. he was the best music artist in the world at one point, idek what to call it but the weeknd created this genre of music.
2011-2012 tumblr, where the weeknd was tha king of tumblr and lana was tha queen. frank ocean was the prince. scrolling on tumblr listening to house of balloons, born to die and channel orange, just reblogs and XO.
the beach house sample made the song into an amazing work of art, the weeknd is truly a genius and his transitions make his songs so smooth and easy-listening. if you ask me, this is probably one of his greatest songs.
his older music is amazing..... I'm glad I came a good year or too before he went mainstream.... it's not that his new style is bad... I just prefer this kinda vibe he brings in his old stuff....
I would love the weeknd to be like this again but also keep his looks and fashion style because I know he had a different hairstyle during this time right?
that vibe mostly comes from the producer he set him up with that style , they broke up so no other producer will be able to imitate that vibe you without copying
I mean a nigga gotta eat right? He had 0 hits until "the hills" "can't feel my face"... Sure wicked games was popular but it was dark and didn't appeal to the masses ... Plus the weeknd saying the same shit now that he did before sooo you trippin lmfao
House of Balloons will always be one of my favorite albums of all time. Everything from Abel's unique take on the standard R&B lyrical platform to the amazing production that pervades the tracks with a space-y cohesiveness just makes it so far ahead of its time. I think as a whole it's probably his best work to date, IMO.
Its the other way around for me, but yeah, I get what you mean. "wtf is Beach House? Shit, might as well check it out if Abel got a track with them on it..." And now I got another group when I'm trying to listen to chill music.
"Baby living off bliss, got me drowning in your love, got me drowning in the mist, give me my attention or I'll start drowning from my wrists...." How does he make such dark and twisted things sound sooo beautiful?
Its been 5 years since i heard this song. The first time was a magical thing with this mixtape. Goosebumps all over my body and a strange dark feeling. Like a good trip..
I'm a new Weeknd fan and I gotta say I'm loving his old stuff way more than his new stuff. now don't get me wrong The Hills and Angel on bbtm is amazing but this song and House Of Balloons, Echo's Of Silence, The Birds 1 and 2 and also pretty are just some of his old tracks that are pulling me in so much more.
+Dallas Phillips God I hate when this happens to good artists. The Weeknd used to be so unique, musically, lyrically and aesthetically. But now it's just a pop singer with weird hair.
My 14 yr old made me listen to this album because I always make her listen to Barry White. Im not much into this new music but this song right here is what my daughter calls fire. Now shes all mad cause I keep playing it over and over.
Makes me think back to college my buddy from Orlando saying you gotta check this dude The Weeknd and this was the first song i heard from him and we jammed out he was just coming up. I gotta say this guy has stayed talented and stayed true. if you are listening this in 2021 you are about this life.
Charlie Lipschutz When you play it on speaker or stereo, the raw recording’s instrumentals and bass are much more pronounced as opposed to the remastered
Griffin Jurissonshowing support to the xo fans who been there from the start. When he wasn't popular and wasn't on every top billboard. We knew his music before anyone else.
+Stay. Silent listening to his music before he was mainstream doesn't make you special lol. He made himself who he is today with his talent and his abilities. Good for you for thinking you're so special because you listened to an artist before they made it big haha

God, this was always my favorite song by Abel. I swear HOB was literally the only thing I listened to a few years ago, it was just like my own little piece of heaven. I'm sad that I don't really like a lot of his new music, but his old stuff will always be gold.
+Alexandria His new stuff grows on you if you listen to it enough and give it a chance. But I completely agree, it just doesn't compare to his old sound. This music brought him to fame and fortune for a reason - it was like nothing else out here. I hate being a hipster asshole, but it always makes a small piece of me die when I see a great artist get swallowed by the commercial music industry. The only artist I can think off the top of my head who has survived commercialism without suffering a huge loss in the quality of their music is Radiohead. Those guys get better with age like a fine wine. PS - in case you are unaware and suffering from withdrawal of The Weeknd's earlier hits check out Khordelia and JMSN. Both are fantastic.
Does it matter if we're old or new? The real fans are the ones who take the time out to try to understand his new and old stuff. And appreciate who he was as an artist AND who he has become. I am a fan of Abel not just his music. His sensuality, he melodic voice, his heart breaking lyrics, his provocative innuendos, his foul mouth, his creativity, and overall his misconcepted passion is what enthralls me about him.
I remember the first time that I heard this song. I was riding with my boyfriend whom was a couple years older than me in his car. I was a junior in high school. I think it was Thanksgiving night. We wear riding around and he was blasting this song. I’m a music lover so this song made me fall harder in love with him at the time. I felt like when i was with him and this song was playing, we were spinning in a circle holding hands in slow motion. Idk lol maybe I’m weird. This song makes me feel like I’m on drugs and i never done drugs
it sucks that till now he's getting recognized because of earned it and the hills and can't feel my face. he has better songs than the ones that play on the radio everyday. other songs of his have deeper meanings. some people only talk about the ones that play on the radio when there's better songs like this one.
+Leah Garcia Man it sucks sooo much! Like HOB is a masterpiece in my opinion. It's so refreshing and new. Nothing sounded like that when it came out. Sadly some of his new fans can't stand his old stuff because it is too vulgar or slow.
Simran Thapa I'm aware of that, but I still don't get what you meant but "deeper meaning" in some of his old songs. His new songs are just the same in "depth", or at least for me.
