I wanted to add, it was this same time Drake was working on Take Care and The Weeknd gave him 3 of his own tracks that were supposed to be part of the trilogy and he was involved in like 2 other tracks on top of the 3 he gave away. Many Drake fans consider Take Care to be top tier classic and honestly The Weeknd’s influence and vibe really contributed to that classic status
Rolling stone isn’t about a girl. He is foreshadowing Abel’s career and talking to his fans. He understands that he will eventually go mainstream instead of underground dark r&b. He hopes that his fans will still listen to his music. During 2015- current he transitioned to more pop. Some fans wanted the dark music back and criticized him. But He also gained new fans. “love me before they all love me.”
Also in order for him to do that dark stuff again, he'd probably have to go back to the substances that helped influence them, which I wouldn't wanna go through again.
It's both. He tells it in that perspective to relate to the rest of the mixtape but also, hindsight, he ends up being loved by millions and millions later.
The birds pt2 is my favourite off this record. For the weeknd’s music the magic is to a maximum if you don’t look at lyrics and just let it eclipse you instead.
Lonely Star- 1:30 Life Of The Party- 8:32 Thursday- 13:33 The Zone- 20:48 The Birds Pt. 1- 27:30 The Birds Pt. 2- 31:14 Gone- 37:33 Rolling Stone- 42:40 Heaven Or Las Vegas- 50:55 Great Video. XOTWOD
You guys absolutely killed the breakdown of the lyrics/story. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard anybody put the pieces together on the birds pt.2 the way you guys did. Wow. Good shit
I discovered The Weeknd in Dec 2011, right when Echoes of Silence dropped, so I got to explore all 3 at the same time. Over several years I listened to his music at least once a day, he became my favorite artist pretty quickly because I could relate to some aspects of his music, thankfully not all of it 😂 his musical abilities are also just insane. My favorite of the 3 mixtapes would change, each had their own pros and cons but were all amazing considering he was still anonymous at this time. EOS was my initial favorite, then HOB, then Thursday, then back to EOS, then Thursday, then HOB, it would constantly change depending on my mood and the season lol. Thursday is usually 3rd in many lists but once I sat with the songs a bit more they just seemed to shine in their own ways
@@akshatvyas7387 I can get on board with that, Kiss Land is a masterpiece to me and I think people who like the album grow to love it the more they listen and understand his character
@@akdmkjeanius662 I think it is a stepping stone from trilogy and beauty behind the madness. He needed that because he went from unknown mystery enigma to a pop star. We needed trilogy at a world stage which is exactly what Kissland was with a horror theme and concept which I absolutely love
23:15 you are the first person in reactions that ive seen to catch this incredible run. Thank you for catching it. I thought i was the only one that noticed it for years. Truly amazing runs
Thursday is my favorite album/mixtape out of his discography. The story telling is immaculate. Gone, rolling stone and Valerie take it for me. The concept of a different girl every day of the week is something that took me surprise. Also Thursday's(the song) melancholic melody gives me something that no other song does, maybe echoes of silence(also the song) but these are rare songs. True underrated gems. And the seamless beat switch in gone goes unnoticed every time.
@@angie-jo1mn I still think that eos with initiation and xo the host are darker and toxic than any of the rest , but definitely the whole trilogy in itself is toxic
waiting for the whole mixtape especially the zone and rolling stone he should also react to the zone music video it’s really different and additional vocals
For this Trilogy a lot of it is real. He also likes movies so there is a bit of that as well. On Birds Pt. 2 Valarie probably shot Weeknd. Of course it is ambiguious but it make sense with him being "Gone" on the next track
I love how your dad notice every little sound, because I do too, and so when he points it out it makes me soooo happy. All those small details and noises are always my favorite part of a song
Only care about 3 tracks: As you are, The hills (mainly the outro but the song itself always been a slap) and angel (that beat and choir is better than the vocals I be real)
YOOOO we need pops to react to some tory asap icl long over due since he loves frank and the weeknd. you gotta put him on the toxic classic PLAYBOY or the other 80's vibe like Alone at Prom since he liked after hours. glad he like this one too
Personally for some reason everytime i listen to this album I don’t like the the first 2 songs but then I like everything after Thursday, and my favorite out of the trilogy is echos of silence (yall pmo)
Thirsty Thursday girl here🙋♀️ This one is one of my favorites, but I can't choose anymore 😅 Know what I mean? Which one is your favorite of the Trilogy? Can't wait until Dad hears the bonus tracks, especially for twenty-eight 😅 Excited for this reaction💯👌🔥🎶🎵🎶🎵
Are we just going to pretend KISSLAND doesnt exist? You skipped a masterpiece 😭💚 i think kissland is a must, shit its a priority. And my dear melancholy. (Which that could be a quick easy video since its only 6 tracks) anyways love watching yall its just interesting to see how others interpret the meanings. Like the same song can mean something so different to each listener. And your dad is the shiiiit, just saying😊 so hype i accidentaly stumbled upon this channel. cant wait for new videos cause ive been binge watching since i found yall, so soon ill be all caught up and wanting more.
Now it’s time for KISSLANDDDDD🔥

What songs were they?
@@doernbecherrcrew love, the ride, cameras/good ones go interlude, shot for me and practice
@@stur.nixoloit was only demos for practice and the interlude (only the demo of the second half “good ones go”)
@@doernbecherr Crew Love, Practice, and The Ride. He was also involved in Shot For Me and Cameras/Good Ones Interlude
Also trust issues but didn't make ot on the album. Drake later released that song on the care package album in 2019@@doernbecherr

mine too❌⭕
Fun fact: Pitching “Valorie’s” voice down actually reveals Abel speaking the lines.
Lonely Star- 1:30
Life Of The Party- 8:32
Thursday- 13:33
The Zone- 20:48
The Birds Pt. 1- 27:30
The Birds Pt. 2- 31:14
Gone- 37:33
Rolling Stone- 42:40
Heaven Or Las Vegas- 50:55
Great Video. XOTWOD
Now its time for kissland, and also do not forget about twenty eight and valerie, those two songs were added on trilogy later, but are perfection.
Till dawn is so good too
crazy to think The Weeknd freestyled all of “Gone” and was so high out of his mind that he has no recollection of recording it
I love the song to death
@@0sos063to the grave ⚰️ GONE is objectively goated!
You guys absolutely killed the breakdown of the lyrics/story. That’s the first time I’ve ever heard anybody put the pieces together on the birds pt.2 the way you guys did. Wow. Good shit
🙏🏾🙏🏾
The Zone hits so hard and deep
It sure damn does😂
This album is a whole different experience, love how you and your dad enjoy it, Abel on top!
The best mixtape of trilogy
Really not
I thought so too until I heard Echoes of Silence. Love Thursday tho with all my soul.
Deffo not
That's Echoes!
Echoes for sure
Please do 28 and Valarie.
‘Rolling Stone’ was a letter to his OG fans that he was gonna change … he knew he hadda go mainstream to become what he became 💯
Yes, this is so important
Still has it, the man

The relisten effect of Thursday is second to only Kissland in my opinion. Every time you relisten you find something new.

For me, it was house of balloons. I was completely hooked
@@christhebonnetmann6 who wasn't hooked
23:15 you are the first person in reactions that ive seen to catch this incredible run. Thank you for catching it. I thought i was the only one that noticed it for years. Truly amazing runs
Rolling Stone was really a song to his fans, cuz he knew he was about to blow up and he was going to be different and he hoped they still listened
Yesss I love y’all’s reaction especially if it’s The Weeknd , one of his best albums 🙏🏻
My favorite mixtape from the trilogy🔥

Thursday Is my #1 song from this mixtapes.
@@angie-jo1mn don't get me wrong I love hob and eos but thursday's concept and the little details, plus the lyrics really are something else
@@akshatvyas7387 I agree and that's why it use to be my favorite. If you asked me Thursday is the more toxic of the 3. maybe? LOL
@@angie-jo1mn I still think that eos with initiation and xo the host are darker and toxic than any of the rest , but definitely the whole trilogy in itself is toxic
You gotta react to the 3 bonus tracks for trilogy.
And the 3 bonus tracks of After Hours .... masterpiece for each one :)
Kissland reaction will go hard fr
Trilogy reaction completed ✅ what a ride it was ✗❤o
I don't think it is. They missed the three bonus tracks.
@@DannsProductions they did the mixtapes so those 3 tracks weren’t included in the original experience but were made for the trilogy experience
GONE IS MY FAV, y’all gotta pay attention to the lyrics
Rolling Stone is in my top 5 favorite Weeknd songs
waiting for the whole mixtape especially the zone and rolling stone he should also react to the zone music video it’s really different and additional vocals
