After the weird ass shit that was The Idol I became rightfully scared of The Weeknd and kept my distance lmao
But this album? Where do I begin?! This album right here is a MOVIE (quite literally with it's 1 hour and 30 minute runtime)
There are no skips? There are no bad songs?
I don't know how the hell he did it, but he's magnificiently encapsulated everything that makes his music so compelling, flitting through grappling with trauma, the darkside of fame, heartbreak and his struggles with it all. The Justice, OPN and Mike Dean production just adds to the greatness of this album.
I really need to let this one marinate but notable mentions so far include Sao Paulo, Cry for me, Opening Night
