Critics aren't in love with "Starboy" ...that means its a classic

[Ms. Elaine]

we not gonna deny the fact that the majority of Views streams were from Hotline Bling?

You dumbass nikka, that conspiracy theory of debunked.

Fact as soon as artist try to start being Michael Jackson their career falls off. Cause no one believes it. Damn near threw up in my mouth when he did the MJ walk in that Star Boy video. Dude lost all his credibility with me in that one moment.

I have the album but haven't listened yet. The long track list alone had me hesitant. Like it's less of an album and moreso a calculated attempt to appeal to as many female pop as possible.

Album falls off a cliff after Starboy

 

[CrimsonTider]

does it sound anything like any of the trilogy joints?

 

[K.Dot]

shyt trash tbh, some good songs but sucks as an album. Critics never like pop albums, pop album's usually aren't good though. I can't think of one modern pure pop album that's enjoyable if you aren't a 16 year cave wench.

His stans gonna come in here and say hes just trying to reach a new crowd.. funny cause they said that about his last pop album

His new shyts wack.. yeah he'll have a couple songs on an album that remind you that he is THE WEEKND but other than that its just forced chart singles that make you think 'yo is this really The Weeknd?'

I don't even think he fully fukks with the music hes been making recently.

He's a brand and a global star .. this album's production is top notch

Are you one of these purist n!ggas would rather he moved Seattle and OD'ed on drugs after KissLand flopped ?

Be happy he escaped the clutches of OVO

This dude just did the Victoria secret show before his sold out European tour.

I think the publications have a luke warm reception to Starboy because he isn't the "new" hot innovative artist on the scene anymore.
I think a lot of the songs on the album could have great appeal to a lot of demographics. Based on the number of tracks, I'd expect this to be a slow-burn type of album.
My hottake is that this will produce a top 10 hit like 6 months from now.
