XO/ The Host is like top 3 in his discography alongside kiss land and Wicked games, great vocals, outstanding writing, flow, amazing production, this alongside initiation are the tracks that come to mind when i think of dark r&b
@@nazthecanny6136 61 now and it’s because when people are reading the comments but they wanna get to a certain song they can without scrolling all the way up 🤷🏽♀️
The Weeknd’s darkest project lol. I feel like this was him at his lowest mentally and emotionally. Numbing the pain with drugs and women, but being even more blatant with it than ever. “Initiation” is probably his darkest song and “Echoes Of Silence” is his most haunting. Anyways loved the reaction lmao!
The 10th anniversary Echoes of Silence music video? His collab with The Japanese Artist Hajime Sorayama is probably one of the best collab Abel has ever done. The visuals are are so beautiful.
@@Alexrevmusic yea that was the video I was talking about. the way the glass case closes at the end, synched with his vocals is so beautiful to me lol.
The cut to your face at 15:01 was me multiple times during my trilogy journey haha. Fantastic reaction and analysis again. It was great to go through this entire project with someone else. It never gets old. Keep it up & can’t wait for more Weeknd content!!! Hopefully by the time you get through the other albums After Life will be out!!
ah yes, Echoes of Silence probably my personal favorite out of the trilogy I used to listened to this when I was in high school and my mom was mad because i failed the entirety of high school because of listening to echoes of silence instead of doing my homework. 😅
Its so good he just moves around all the different pockets in the beat and was great hearing for the first time a few months ago for me. Refreshing w/ the current state of rap
Another song you should listen to is “King of the Fall” it came out in between Kissland and Beauty Behind the Madness. It’s very very good - probably his best single!! It has a music video to go with it.
*I love coming to reaction channels for this particular mixtape, but most importantly for the XO / The Host transition into Initiation response. I feel like those two songs together are an equal match for the “Kiss Land” track in terms of building that unsettling atmosphere of darkness and mystery.*
I’m so incredibly unendingly happy you appreciate the entirety of the songs, like EVERYTHING. The lyrics, organization of the tracks within the album, the inspirations, the mood and atmosphere and etc. You’re the best
Whenever I need to cry but the tears won't come out, i always browse Echoes of Silence (the song) and i just wait to start drowning with my own tears. The bit when Abel starts singing from the girl's perspective is like someone shoving a knife straight into your heart
Next honestly is my favorite song on this. I think its pretty underrated, the way the echoing female vocals work in cohesion with Abels voice as well as the really interesting distortions. Its a unique song for sure
top 5 songs from trilogy: Wicked Games, House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls, The Zone, Montreal, XO / The Host. Trilogy is such a masterpiece, my fav songs from it change basically every time I listen to it lol
I think your reaction to XO/The Host was exactly what its supposed to be on the first listen lol. Wait until you listen to it consistently, it'll blow your mind how you love it more and more.
now, all we need are starboy and after hours, and you will complete the ritual on officially becoming a part of the xo family😁 side quests are listening to unreleased abel's songs and his memento mori.
When she was talking about how intense and unsettling XO / The Host is, I just kept thinking “oh wait until you hear Initiation” lollll
I love everyone's initial reaction to Initiation 🤣
Ikr
XO/ The Host is such a good song it’s a easy top 5 Trilogy track for me. The catchiness and story telling are what do it for me
XO/ The Host is like top 3 in his discography alongside kiss land and Wicked games, great vocals, outstanding writing, flow, amazing production, this alongside initiation are the tracks that come to mind when i think of dark r&b
Is in my top 10 from my favorite Weeknd songs, it's just amazing.
it’s genuinely one of my favourite songs he’s ever made overall. it’s amazing
"Any song after Initiation sounds like a nursery rhyme". 😂
and that ladies and gentlemen, is the face of someone who has just heard initiation for the first time

She posted the track list time so whats the point posting it in the comments lol
@@MichaelHeyra 13 like that's the point lol
@@nazthecanny6136 61 now and it’s because when people are reading the comments but they wanna get to a certain song they can without scrolling all the way up 🤷🏽♀️
@@kymoranash8549 I understand your point but I think it makes the TH-camr feels like he didn't do a shit
I’m pretty sure that “crying” and the other pitched up vocals you hear throughout the album are actually Abel’s voice too.
Fun fact: he wrote this mixtape in Montreal, he once said that he had a lot of darkness in that city.

The music video for the title track has such a good ending. The visuals synched with the audio is so beautiful.

all respect to king MJ but abel killed it on DD 😭😭

If Montreal was in it that workplace playlist it must be really good! I wonder what other songs were in it
ah yes, Echoes of Silence probably my personal favorite out of the trilogy I used to listened to this when I was in high school and my mom was mad because i failed the entirety of high school because of listening to echoes of silence instead of doing my homework.
😅
This is my favourite ep out of his entire discography and outside is my favourite song he ever made
Initiation is such a fucking fire track. I love how uncomftorable it made you. Same thing happen to me lmao
Its so good he just moves around all the different pockets in the beat and was great hearing for the first time a few months ago for me. Refreshing w/ the current state of rap
listening to trilogy is kinda like being in a crowded room and the weeknd is staring into your soul and you’re in the middle all eyes on you
Another song you should listen to is “King of the Fall” it came out in between Kissland and Beauty Behind the Madness. It’s very very good - probably his best single!! It has a music video to go with it.

standouts on this were XO/TheHost, Initiation and Next. Next is a very buried song in his discography that is great. Glad you found it.
A while ago my favorite track was “Xo/The Host” but “Montreal, Outside, The Fall and Next” really grew on me, loved your reaction
Outside is so underrated
@@jesuschrist3165 agree
I think Outside might be his greatest vocal performance on the entire trilogy. Especially that second verse.

I’m so incredibly unendingly happy you appreciate the entirety of the songs, like EVERYTHING. The lyrics, organization of the tracks within the album, the inspirations, the mood and atmosphere and etc. You’re the best
Briana, I genuinely love your reactions!
Love seeing you experience/rexperience the weeknds albums, my favourite artist ever
i've been screaming yes to every comment she does in this series, cause its pretty much how i feel about the whole trilogy. Great videos
Whenever I need to cry but the tears won't come out, i always browse Echoes of Silence (the song) and i just wait to start drowning with my own tears. The bit when Abel starts singing from the girl's perspective is like someone shoving a knife straight into your heart
I wish my job played Montreal every day
Really enjoyed watching you react to these mixtapes. Glad you’re part of XO now!
I was waiting for this one, I hope you enjoy it as it is my favourite mixtape!!
You should really do reactions to his unreleased tracks. Enemy and Trust Issues are both amazing
I second🔥
Next honestly is my favorite song on this. I think its pretty underrated, the way the echoing female vocals work in cohesion with Abels voice as well as the really interesting distortions. Its a unique song for sure
echoes of silence is such a wild ride. great reaction and analysis as always!
Starboy listen will be cool but we’re all waiting for After Hours. Starboy will be a nice little break lol
How can one comment we are ALL waiting for after hours on a echoes of silence reaction ?! Boooy do not speak for us all! We excited for *this one*

Montreal is his best song
xo/the host is the best song off echoes of silence!!
Can I ask where you worked that had Montreal in their playlist? Or at least what kind of business it was?
You should cover Beach House discography, I know it’s unrelated but The Weeknd has sampled them quite a bit so they popped in my head lol
