WTF I DIDN’T EXPECT THAT so I GUESS WE’RE ON A THE WEEKND RUN SO VERY SOON KISSLAND MAYBE? EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT HOUSE OF BALLOONS I’M SO HAPPY INITITIATION XO THE HOST SAME OLD SONG MONTREAL LESGOOOO
i love michael but i'm sure he would buy the weeknd's whole discography just like what he did to eminem when em dissed michael😂 so yeah, michael was a petty guy.
Man, I loved seeing y'all go "oh something's about to happen" during The Fall. The brilliance of how the entire song is saying he's not afraid of the fall and the entire time the music is building and building and building but it never actually "falls" - or in other words, the beat doesnt drop. The entire song is the climax and you keep expecting something to happen. You never get the release that you're anticipating. Imo, a near perfect harmony between the lyrics, the music, and the themes.
I go back this one a lot now. Echoes of Silence is a cold title for an album, I never really noticed. Your dad has a really good ear for the details. All the different sounds in XO/Host are addicting
a really cool fact to know about the voice effect in Initiation!! going from the low to high pitch was symbolising going from a comedown to being intoxicated. The low pitch was to resemble being on a comedown. His normal voice is him recovering. The high pitch being the peak of his drugs. Insane art honestly
Soon as I heard track 1 I said OHHH THIS THE ALBUM WHERE HE DOES THE COVER 🤯 I’ve heard he did it but didn’t know where,so soon as I heard that I played the whole album and I’ve been listening nonstop for 4 days. Thanks for putting me on good music😁
I love when you or your dad describe what the music makes you think of or envision. One aspect of The Weeknd’s music that I love is how cinematic it is. Especially his earlier stuff. EoS might be my favorite from him.
the vocal effect on initiation with how his voice transitions from low, to normal and to high pitch is a metaphor for how this girl is meeting all of his "boys", as if they are all speaking to her. you were almost spot on with your thought "I wonder if he is talking about the same girl?". in fact throughout all of trilogy, the girl he is speaking to and speaking about represents his original fans and on other songs such as "next" he is speaking to his new fans. he takes her (og fans) on a journey from meeting him, knows what she likes and wants (him to remain himself) but he knows that she will end up disliking him as he goes off with this new girl (his new fans) because he knows she will change him which is evident as his sound and music changes as his career progresses. this literally happened too, as soon as Abel began making more "pop" music, a lot of his fans were yearning for him to go back to his old sound, some of them even not fucking with his new music at all. when you go through the trilogy and read the lyrics with this in mind its actually a crazy concept 💀 the fact it actually happened too is even crazier. the song "rolling stone" on thursday is the cleverest one for me. even in the video for rolling stone you can see the symbolism of this concept being portrayed. you even realise that this same concept of speaking to his fans carries over into kiss land, genius work. love your guys' channel btw, big up you and your pops every time 🤝
Weeknd the real gem of the 6ix - Kissland is his best album, the subject matter and dark vibe of Trilogy mixed with the cinematic nature of his newest albums. a perfect mix.
This is a classic and my 2nd favorite off Trilogy (HOB is first, gotta react to that) and a top 5 Weeknd overall. Genuinely one of the most thought provoking and sonically beautiful pieces of art I’ve ever heard
@@Rent-z5yno yeah he’s not saying anything out of this world but the juxtaposition he uses is crazy. Like the way he sonically sounds like an angel but is lyrically devilish (Similarly to how they broke down the dynamic between Xo and The Host). Matching this with the harmonies and the eerie and atmospheric instrumentals is enough to be thought provoking imo
HOB; you started & slowly take everything in Thursday; the amount of bangers & best production & lyrics EOS: the darkness, not turning back from this. Xo ❤️
Does anybody else feel like “Next” is The Weeknd’s “dirty Diana”. And I think your dad would enjoy house of balloons more than thursday because I feel like he put more vocals into it vs Thursday
This was dope. I remember the reactions to D.D. being quite negative but it's one of my favorite songs by him and i highly recommend ya'll listen to a mash-up of the original and his version.
Awesome reaction as always! I've seen some great recommendations in the comments but I believe you guys should react to the live album "Live At Sofi Stadium" from weeknd's tour which is also on spotify. Its outta this world man, you won' regret it
You forgot Till Dawn Bonus song. And it's gotta be: House of Balloons (with bonus track), Thursday (with Bonus track), Kiss Land and then Beauty Behind the Madness. Before the new album...
Should have started with HOB and Thursday after then this to end the Trilogy like in the order it's meant to be experienced haha. But it's all good since yall will listen to it in order from HOB to Thursday at least :D Hope yall will do Kissland after that too, I bet ur dad will love that one too :)
yall should check out Brent faiyaz, he has an old soul yall should start with his album Sonder Son think your pops would fs love that album lot of old school vibes
React to The DOC album No One Can Do It Better. One of the greatest albums ever in my opinion. So sad about the car crash that ruined his voice later on. If It wasn’t for that. Feel DOC would’ve been up there with the legends.
HOUSE OF BALLOONS GOTTA BE NEXT COZ WTF IS THIS ORDER LMAO
👏🏽
Thinking this 😂😂
What? Thursday is inbetween house of balloons and echoes of silence
Hahaha word.
starting with echoes is crazy!
He liked those drums wait until he here The Birds part 1 😅
NO WAY YOU POSTED THIS OMG, imo the best mixtape in trilogy
I used to walk through the halls of the TV studio I worked at singing "You're the same old sooooooooo-euh-euh-eugh-ughhh-uuuhng" every night! 😂
WTF I DIDN’T EXPECT THAT so I GUESS WE’RE ON A THE WEEKND RUN SO VERY SOON KISSLAND MAYBE?
EVEN THOUGH THIS IS NOT HOUSE OF BALLOONS I’M SO HAPPY
INITITIATION XO THE HOST SAME OLD SONG MONTREAL LESGOOOO
If Only Michael Jackson Was still Alive. He Would Have Loved The Weeknd's Version Of Dirty Diana.
He's smiling down from the Afterlife ;)
Michael was an insecure child lmfao. He would be mad
i love michael but i'm sure he would buy the weeknd's whole discography just like what he did to eminem when em dissed michael😂 so yeah, michael was a petty guy.
@@odysseus2k1on the flip side, it's been said that he gave SWV a free sample to Human Nature for their remix

KISSLAND PLEASE ITS AN ALL TIME CLASSIC
Shhh HOB first. Don't ruin this.
trilogy all time classic kissland cult classic
@@NETRITVA69 I was going to say, as a Weeknd fan, I dislike Kissland. Definitely more cult classic.
@@Michael.Sandoval33 kissland is goated
I go back this one a lot now. Echoes of Silence is a cold title for an album, I never really noticed. Your dad has a really good ear for the details. All the different sounds in XO/Host are addicting
This Weeknd back to back is big my dude.
THIS IS TOP 5 WEEKND LESGOOO
top 1 fr
3
This my favorite from him to be honest, followed very closely by After Hours
not 5 not 4 not 3 not 2
a really cool fact to know about the voice effect in Initiation!! going from the low to high pitch was symbolising going from a comedown to being intoxicated.
The low pitch was to resemble being on a comedown.
His normal voice is him recovering.
The high pitch being the peak of his drugs.

NEED HOB and Kissland. Both are classics
I love when you or your dad describe what the music makes you think of or envision. One aspect of The Weeknd’s music that I love is how cinematic it is. Especially his earlier stuff. EoS might be my favorite from him.
i love when you guys react to the weeknd’s music! he’s my fav artist
🫶🏾

Ngl I couldn't wait to see his reaction to Initiation

Kissland his best album?😂
@@centioeasily
@@centiosecond best but yeah its close
yesss thursday and hob next, love these weeknd reactions🙏
Ur dad such. A cool dude. Love how he appreciates Abel’s singing
Man this the reason I fell in love w The Weeknd Montreal was my favorite song ‼️‼️
one of my favourite albums of all time, can’t wait for you to work your way through introducing your pops to all of Abel’s albums 🙌
LETS GOO been waiting for this!!
I’m really glad you guys did echos of silence, XO/ The host is my favorite Weeknd song ever! Most people skip this mixtape along with Thursday.
This is a classic and my 2nd favorite off Trilogy (HOB is first, gotta react to that) and a top 5 Weeknd overall. Genuinely one of the most thought provoking and sonically beautiful pieces of art I’ve ever heard
What's so thought provoking about it?
I'm a big Weeknd fan, but he's not laying down anything deep here, lol
@@Rent-z5yno yeah he’s not saying anything out of this world but the juxtaposition he uses is crazy. Like the way he sonically sounds like an angel but is lyrically devilish (Similarly to how they broke down the dynamic between Xo and The Host).

@brofiss352 falls under "sonically beautiful" for me. I don't go to the Weeknd to get my cogs turning though.
@@Rent-z5y fair, generally the same with me for his music but a select handful of songs (in particular this project and MDM) can be thought provoking
Been waitin on this one
34:12 yuh I heard dat 😂i been on yo tiktok telling you to react to A$AP Rocky so im excited for dat one. Good video yall
One of the best mixtapes in the trilogy mixtapes . You should do the bonus tracks of trilogy too with ur dad .
BANGER 🔥 But we need House of balloons in the future also 🔒
The best song of The Weeknd is his voice is so high and the harmony.
Kissland and HOB gonna have your pops wyling 😂😂😂😂
EoS my personal favorite from trilogy! Great reaction!!
Echoes of silence is the most atmospheric song, its just a different experience.
What a pleasant surprise! More Weeknd please!!!!!!
Yes!! Thank you!!
You bet!
Please let your daddy know that XO does not stand for kisses hand hugs 😂
XO fans eating good EoS probably my favorite mixtape
HOB; you started & slowly take everything in
Thursday; the amount of bangers & best production & lyrics
EOS: the darkness, not turning back from this. Xo ❤️
I’m here waiting for House of Balloons, which is the best R&B mixtape Ever 🔥
Let's gooooo!
8:07 love that reaction
I’ve watched this reaction like 10 times and everytime bro says “the boys are ravenous dogs” I laugh lmao
such a underrated album
“They getting ready to turn her out” then Initiation starts 😭😭😭
XO is actually names of drugs he used to use occasionally ecstasy and oxycodone
House of balloons should have been first but anyways, lets get it next
What is this trilogy order? Are we doing this in reverse?
Depending on the day this is sometimes better then HOB.
i always wanna see people's reaction to Initiation
Dad would love Kissalnd 💚
47:42 , that's the image I have in my head when listening to this song
Does anybody else feel like “Next” is The Weeknd’s “dirty Diana”. And I think your dad would enjoy house of balloons more than thursday because I feel like he put more vocals into it vs Thursday
This was dope. I remember the reactions to D.D. being quite negative but it's one of my favorite songs by him and i highly recommend ya'll listen to a mash-up of the original and his version.
The weeknd kissland is best album of alltime
U just saying that to be different😂
transcendental
Awesome reaction as always! I've seen some great recommendations in the comments but I believe you guys should react to the live album "Live At Sofi Stadium" from weeknd's tour which is also on spotify. Its outta this world man, you won' regret it
KISSLAND SHOULD INCLUDE FOR THE REACTION FR
Best of the trilogy imo 🗣️🗣️

You guys should really do 1999 Joey Bada$$
This is The Weeknd’s best work…… I used to put this on and it worked every time…..Let’s you know women don’t listen to lyrics 😂
Or they’re aware and toxic 😂
This is my top 10 album
Bro you should show your dad Dawn FM he’ll love it
XO/The host may be one of the best produced songs not only on this album, but ever
Would never have thought that Jordan would react to EOS
You forgot Till Dawn Bonus song. And it's gotta be: House of Balloons (with bonus track), Thursday (with Bonus track), Kiss Land and then Beauty Behind the Madness. Before the new album...

But it's all good since yall will listen to it in order from HOB to Thursday at least :D Hope yall will do Kissland after that too, I bet ur dad will love that one too :)

React to The DOC album No One Can Do It Better. One of the greatest albums ever in my opinion. So sad about the car crash that ruined his voice later on. If It wasn’t for that. Feel DOC would’ve been up there with the legends.
How about some Miguel music please?
🔥🔥🔥
