It's legitimately his best; it's hilarious to me how a bunch of publications came out with their Best of the Year lists and then one of the best albums of the year comes out like two days after they finish.

I don't like it, but for people who enjoyed "House of Balloons", you can officially download this mix tape for freebies - which is cool.

I've downloaded it. Listened to it a few times. But do people actually like this autotuned music ??

It sounds so fake and impersonal.




Go listen to Tim Hecker instead.

Suck every dick: the production is brilliant, the use of auto-tune on "Initiation", the way it oscillates from deep to high and back to normal ceaselessly throughout the entire song in such a refined, consistent pattern, is completely unprecedented, and the lyrics are as beautiful as they are sexually ominous. It's a winner from cover to cover and if anything it's a testament to the level of personal revelation that's been prominent in R&B over the last few years.

Also, listen to Ravedeath instead? They don't sound anything alike, they're not even in the same genre. Why would I have Tim Hecker as an alternative to the Weeknd? They don't serve the same roles musically. That's like me going "Al Green? Pssh, try listening to Napalm Death instead!" It's totally incongruous with one's needs as a music listner.

Tim Hecker's Ravedeath, 1972 is said to be a statement on the death of music. As in The Weeknd.

The Weeknd doesn't draw ANY emotion from me. No fun. It's artificial bullshit.

Broad, declarative statements without explanations are the best kinds of broad, declarative statements.

DUDE 1: "It's shitty!"

DUDE 2: "It's actually great, and here are the reasons why." *explanation*

DUDE 1: "No, it's shitty! Just...just trust me on this!"
