House of Balloons defined my Junior year of high school man. No one knew what he looked like when these mixtapes came out, but everyone knew something special was on the horizon.
Ahhh you missed it! In "The Morning", theres one lyric "Cali is the mission" and through his albums he mentions this line quite a bit- for example in After Hours "Snowchild" theres "Cali was the mission" and i thought you'd notice it, but no problem you didn't haha
On the title track, the first half (HOB) feels like the party leading up to midnight. Plenty of people. Some drinking. Some drugs. Slowly descending deeper and deeper and trying to convince yourself that everything is okay and you’re still having a good time in this happy house. Trying to convince and manipulate the girl you’ve been flirting with all night to follow you as your mind begins to slip away. Then the second half (GTG) feels like it’s now past midnight. The casuals start to leave. The hard drugs come out. It’s no longer really a party. It’s pure euphoria. Anxiety. Lust. Suffocation. Escape from reality.
1:00:35 the end of Loft was my midnight piece for just me and the moonlight when i needed to werewolf all those years ago lol. We all need a good scream sometimes.
Not use to you not pausing, the whole first song I was thinking, bro is sad or hates the song /: 😭 R & B artist we’re not hoping on beats like this back then, it’s even more clear now how revolutionary these mixtapes were. His producer Illangelo said he likes to add/take away sounds about every 7 bars so theres always something else coming. Truly wishing you success with this channel, it’s a blessing to get full reviews with commentary 💐
I definitely was just soaking it in lmao, some people don’t like the pauses at all so kind of trying out playing it out a little bit too lol This was definitely really great though, absolutely mind blowing that it’s his first project!!
Translation of the Coming Down japanese part btw!: I want you not to make me anger. It's unpleasant for me to be done something like this. You come into my inner world many times even if knowing my past. Why do you pretend not to know my answer. Don't you know the fact that I and something have committed crimes together many times?
Don’t know yet if you saw that but Cali is the mission - The Morning by the toxic version of The Weeknd Cali was the mission, now a ni**a leaving’ - Snowchild by The Weeknd from after hours (realizing he was running after the wrong things) Nice reaction so farrrrt
You made my Friday night!! I saw your post and literally screamed, fuck yeah!! I love his early work it's so raw and the guitars give it that edge High for This is such a great introduction to this mix tape and very underrated in my opinion. I love this sound. A very dark and depressing time for him but made him what he is today. We'll never get this back so soak it up! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I know it's different from his new stuff but it's revolutionary. Abel's early influences were Nine Inch Nails, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, indie rock, Micheal Jackson and Prince to name a few. Thanks for the great reaction! Definitely ready for Thursday! BTW, I think Abel's music has a difference in opinion depending on when you became a fan since his music is different from album to album. Some love it all (me). 🔥 XO
Definitely makes more sense with those influences lmao I definitely enjoyed it, and yes the guitars are so great!!! And I could definitely see how that would be depending on when you start listening, same with like Eminem lol
@@YourLocalMelomaniac If you want early era songs with elements of trilogy and kissland, add these to your list: in vein by Rick Ross, and odd look by Kavinsky. Another iconic but more recent one is lost in the fire by Gesaffelstein
I remember when this dropped . Just broke up with my baby mom. These mixtapes were the soundtrack to my life. Doing drugs, meaningless sex. Great times man. Like Abel I too am way passed that. You should watch the videos too. Twenty eight is surprisingly still on TH-cam
Damn, glad you’re doing better! But yeah music is always better when you can relate so closely 💯💯 Also I will likely react to all the trilogy music videos, maybe all at once. Maybe on a live stream!! 😁
I know you’ll continue with the other 2 parts of Trilogy but I’m damn excited for you to listen to Kiss Land. It’s MINDBLOWING. Well all his music is. 😂🤭🔥
Love the reaction! Any chance you could share how you put this reaction video together? I want to do something similar in the future with the spotify lyrics / facecam etc. Thank you , I just subscribed 💪
I honestly prefer the trilogy sound vs dawn fm. I’m not a huge 80s dance pop fan. I just love his darker sounding slow music. I honestly have never listened to trilogy because I know it’s like a remastered version and I rather listen to the originals. I listen to each mixtape separately and then I have the 3 bonus tracks downloaded from trilogy 😂
I could see that for sure honestly, I’ve enjoyed both. But there’s definitely a distinct difference. And I haven’t listened to the OG mixtapes. Only the Trilogy versions 😬😬
We still out here guys!!! 😁😁
Leave a like on this video if you want the next Trilogy installment!!!
Thanks for watching!!!!
you will LOVE echoes of silence for the transitions alone
I’m excited!! 😁

That’s crazy, what an awesome time it would’ve been to witness the start of it like that!!

I know!!! I actually caught it later on, that’s really awesome!!! Love the way he called back to it!!

That’s a great description, really adds a different tone when you think of it like that!!
i still think its so amazing how he managed to make this homeless, at 20 years. Like WHAAATTT.. he was destined to be a star 💪🏽💪🏽

I've been waaaaiting for this!
Thank you!! 😁😁
Me too. I was checking every single day for it to drop LOL!!

once you're finished with his discography you need to react to his features, he has soo many iconic songs with other artists
There’s a lot I’ve already heard, but I fully intend to!! Especially as more specific ones are requested!!
