The Weeknd - STARBOY (Discussion Thread)

[WickedGames]

Nah.

When I saw MANIA I thought that was gonna be my shyt but I ain't listened to it more than once.

Your ear off on this one. Song of the year contention.

That other breh on the vocals that Weeknd didn't give feature credit

 

[TrebleMan]

True Colors is the song of the year to me. Seriously a 5/5.

I really think dude in contention for album of the year. It's close, but that song holds a lot of weight. The album is terrific.

Edit: after more listens, I'm going to say 24K Magic has it slightly beat for the title. While there are very notable high points, there are quite a few songs on this album are skippable and some just average.

edit edit: After more listens, the high points on this album are really next level. I'm about to say it's an even race/result for aoty with 24K Magic. It's really a three way tie if I count Joanne (which is again a different album). Really just feel fortunate that we got some really great albums the last four months (going back to Sremmlife 2 and Jeffrey).

I honestly don't care for most of this album...

The "old Weeknd" songs are fukking trash...there's nothing like the Hills, Often, Tell Your Friends...

I don't fukk with All I Know...Six Feet Under...

It seems like he just throws on that bullshyt for nikkas that cry because he went Pop.

Party Monster and Reminder is dope out of the "old Weeknd"....

Kendrick Lamar should never do a guest feature, he just ruins it...Sidewalks is unnecessary...beat is dope though



Honestly...the wannabe Off The Michael Jackson songs are the best songs on this...

Die For You
I Feel It Coming
A Lonely Night
Secrets
True Colors

Are super dope...and probably the only songs I will keep listening to...like I would love for him to just scrape that bullshyt druggie shyt and just do some 70s disco-pop shyt. This shyt doesn't sound like cash grab...but he can genuinely make this type of music.

The other melodramatic bullshyt he keeps making...like Attention...Ordinary Life...is trash...

I don't care for False Alarm...Starboy is cool...WTF is Rockin'...Love to Lay is kind of obnoxious


This gets a 6 out of 10...Bruno Mars definitely made a better album...

I pray he stops making bullshyt simple minded trap shyt for the "old Weeknd" fans...

shyt is hella trash...I always found his alt rock and RnB dope...

I like hearing Weeknd talk his shyt though, he's better than most rappers at the braggadocios shyt...

 

[The Infamous]

Reminder is on heavy rotation, I can't stop listening to it.

 

[Supreme HD]

False alarm is a good song. Honestly don't understand the hate it gets.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

Yes. P3 shyts all over this pop bullshyt weekend released and it's not even close.

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

You're talking to sheep breh

You guys want trashnextdoor to be something so bad

Keep listening to that garbage and telling yourself it's good.

Drake cant even get his sheep fan base to like him

 

[MillionMills]

Countin all that money like a hobby

She don't give a fukk about nobody

[waltthizzney]

Are nikkas on the coli really trying to compare PND mumbling nonsense into reverb and choking away and lip syncing on his tour to a once in a generation talent that the weeknd is?

You just don't understand his brilliance. not even critics do. Not even drake fans.

Just his 7 fans.

 

[Trey0'5Blue2Gz]

Why are PND/Drake stans ALWAYS in Weeknd threads acting mad insecure while throwing corny shots

Same posters that been in the thread regurgitating the same bullshyt page after page

True Colors is a beautiful song for real for real. shyt get me in my feelings

 

[Dominic Brehetto]

One thing I find interesting reading through the thread is there doesn't seem to be a real consensus on which songs are the best.

BBTM wasn't like that,their was clear standouts.

Some people think rocking is one of the best songs,others think it's the worst.


Same with true colors.

Everybody's list looks different
