The Weeknd Thread ( "Hurry Up Tomorrow" Coming Soon)

[Vincent Van Goat]

With all that being said if I don't end up doing anything tonight I'll mix acquainted and in the 90s together for yall. Haven't used pro tools in a minute but I feel like it needs to be done.

BREH. Would rep on site 

 

[sn00pee]

Its not even slander tho, its a good track. But whoever thought "hey let's give em a taste of gbit90s but at the last second go into a totally different song. They'll love that $#%&" needs to be shot. I'm thinking something just didn't get cleared in time and they axed it.

As soon as I get home I'm gonna make my own version with both.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

The kicker is that in the outro he is literally singing Girls In the 90's... why not just transition into that song, it was completely finished, it would have taken zero effort 

 

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Why can I see Celine Dion singing Angel? 

for real not eem playin, she would write that type of stuff, the production even sound like David Foster made it. At the end he got like a kid gospel group singing in the back ground, another thing Dion would do 

I still like it though 

 

 

[a blinkin]

Just had "the talk" via FaceTime with my girl where I broke the news about moving to Seattle and Dark Times plays. I didn't catch the "this ain't the right time for you to fall in love with me" line. The feels over this tequila/orange juice now.

 

[a blinkin]

You all sleep on this if you want to.

 

[degenerate423]

Saw this on Twitter  .

"Does it bother you that Abel went mainstream?"

 

[degenerate423]

I got a 2 hour drive home and I need to get this on my iPhone somehow .

 

[sn00pee]

LOL. I ain't even mad tho. He's still giving us 50/50. 70/30 in some eyes. But I'm satisfied...

Facepalmed when I heard this. That's like super-pop right there . Would've never in a million years expected to hear that in a Weeknd song.

I'm with the half of you that say let the young fella cook!  He's spent his whole career so far with the creepy drug/sex NC17 stuff, let him reach out and be the next household name in the game.  Even for Losers, the beat still knocks pretty hard!  If I had one complaint, I'd make earned it, the hills, often, etc bonus tracks so that we'd have 12-13 completely NEW tracks to vibe to.  Otherwise, solid effort as his first go around to the newly EARNED fanbase

++ on a sidenote, who hears the Fetty Wap "baby wont you come my wAaAaAayyyyy" flow in Angel haha

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Just to be certain, nobody has this CDQ correct? I feel like Tell Your Friends would be that much better. The grainy sound gives it a good throwback feel though

.

App store / downloads lite / vibe to that ****

You mean this BBTM leak? The leak floating around is CDQ. It was ripped from the retail CD with VBR compression. That's pretty much what you'd get if you downloaded it from iTunes directly.

You won't get much better unless it's a FLAC rip or just listening to it straight from the disc.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Mine says its 245 (VBR), some are 260 (VBR), not sure if that's what you guys have too? I'm not sure what VBR means

Yeah VBR means "variable bit rate". It fluctuates depending on what's in the file sonically. So the bitrate will vary song to song.

 

[robtoofresco]

I thought CDQ = 320 Kbps?

 

[Mister Meaner]

Forgot about the kid choir part. Like....what? I'm happy that y'all are happy with this.

I can't get jiggy to this.

My initial reaction to KL was a familiar/unfamiliar feeling.

BBTM:

Cohesion, as of now, I'm not seeing it. And again, most of the production hasn't impressed. This was in the whip though. I need a chance to vibe with the headphones.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

 
As you are sounds like some male Sade type ish.

Yes, listening to it again, I see it. Very throw back ish

Man...I just can't get into a lot of these songs

[jr paperstacks]

Hey...

I don't know, guys. This **** jams.

How dare you ...

Kissland garnered similar reactions, then most came around.

This aint the same 

I wish it was, but it's not. His singular focus was to make it a pop album. Pop producers, pop features, pop lyrics. I don't foresee this becoming a similar outcome as Kiss Land, where he was really going for it (his ultimate unique sound) in terms of production and song structure.

With BBTH he accomplished his goal, there's nothing for me to hate on tbh, he was trying for this exact result

 

[Nawzlew]

solid album


beat on losers

I agree with most of this and with most of what yall are saying. If you wanted that savegery its there just in little doses. If you are transitioning past the savage stage this is gonna resonate more. Either way its not touching KL... 

Shameless, Tell Your Friends, Prisoner and Losers are my fav tracks. Shameless been on repeat for a while now actually. The rest are cool. And then the repeats and mainstream/pop songs and ANGEL can ****. Angel is just straight wtf, 90's Top Gun soundtrack trash. I never even got to the end to hear the kids singing 

 

Overall, its decent. But I cant overdose on this XO like I did with previous material.
