- The FINAL album I needed to listen to by The Weeknd, and it's finally here! We ended on quite the sad note, I will admit. Don't you worry, I have more content for The Weeknd planned for the future now that I've listened to the whole catalog :D

I believe you dropped this 👑
Thanks for helping a girl out 😁
You’re a goat🔥

Favorite project from him. Came out a week after my 5 year relationship failed and as I took an extended drive to enjoy it in full I almost crashed with how overwhelmed I was. It was an insane first listening experience but I’ll never forgot it.
Yes it came out perfect timing for me too. Long drives was soo good
His music has always had a demonic suicidal vibe to me but I still listen to him anyway.. weird how that works
I once heard someone say that The Weeknd makes “Haunted strip club music” and I thought that was so accurate lmao
Came out around my break up as well, I Was Never There perfectly related to it all
Came right after my first heartbreak perfect timing it’s like he knew
His coachella performance for Call out my name & Privilege will literally give you goosebumps and he poured out his soul live 🤍❤️
bruh that privilege performance was one od the most emotional performances ive heard
I was thinking just about that
frfr
Coachella was ass because of the crowd they were dead
Privilege live is pure pain
"I'll be back to my old ways" - Privilege
"And I'm back to my ways, cuz I'm Heartless"
lets see what he does on the dawn
@@NotKuda "I don't wanna be a prisoner of who I used to be"
@@NotKuda he sounds so much more grown on dawn fm, a lot more reflective
Fun fact: the first song he recorded after this EP was actually heartless which ties to privileged but also was the lead single for Afyter Hours saying he’ll be back to his old ways, which the first line was “never need a b*tch I’m what a bitch need”
WHY DID I NEVER REALIZE THAT
Wow
where did u get this from
Are you sure about that ? He released “power is power” after my dear melancholy
He even recorded lost in the fire
The Weeknd originally was going to release an album in 2017, that he described at not melancholy at all, but beautiful. After the break up he scraped the entire finished album because he did not want to perform songs that were contrary to how he really felt. There is a leaked song called “Let me go” from that album and it is amazing, I recommend checking it out at some point.
If this was 6 tracks longer, it would be in the conversation to be one of his greatest projects. Each song brings something different and sonically so pleasing. Top 3 project for me at the least 😍
“He really needed a hug” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Not funny bro 🙂
Not funny, these songs are still 100% relatable to a lot of us. Those bitches did a number on us.
@@stingfiretube oh absolutely. This ep came out the day my ex and I broke up. Did a tremendous number on me too. Even I needed a hug lol
I was never there is so beautiful and sad
From 2:16 and foward when the song breaks up, that part hits harder
thats my favourite part of it
@@Melissa-rb6ct probably my favorite part of the whole EP. COMN is awesome and I relate to it so hard, but that part of IWNT is just too good.
“You’d rather something toxic, so I poisoned myself again til I feel nothing” LYRIC HITS HARD EVERY TIME
@@coastercraziness 'I'm on the edge of something breaking'😫😫
@@thilinaguruge8749
I feel my mind is slowly fading...
Wasted Times is produced by Skrillex, basically he's the production G.O.A.T., and Gessaffelstein produced I was never there and Hurt You. Abel's projects have the best producers on-board, always 👑
When it comes to EDM Skrillex is the goat, but I think Kanye is a better producer and made more of an impact on the music industry present day. It’s just about preferences, so no need to come at me for having a different opinion
Skrillex has NOTHING on Burial tho, so is he really the G.O.A.T. of EDM?
Skillex applying some vocals to Wasted Times was godly
@@checksoverstripes2498 it was good
@@checksoverstripes2498 but not goody remember he’s just human
You should revisit After Hours + the Deluxe tracks and break down the lyrics like you did with the rest of his catalogue! 🔥🙌🏽
Yess deluxe
You really don't want her to leave the guy behind
@@danielakatzenbecher2811 hell no. The more the merrier
YESSSSS 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
if I was given 1 wish , I would make this man immortal
Lmaoooo
not trying to be negative or anything, but that would be kinda like torture to him
@@JoaoCarvalhoPT agreed
@@JoaoCarvalhoPT Yes.
@@JoaoCarvalhoPTironically his music would be insanely good tho
i was never there is a top 10 song imo. real pain hours.
100 percent
same but also at the same time the knowing is at top 3 with echoes of silence and tears in the rain
I was never there is one of the best rnb songs I've heard
It’s not a song. It’s a poetry art piece.
The great Gesaffelstein!
Facts
same
It's a masterpiece
Everytime Abel had a break up we got incredible albums
This man is seriously one of the best artists in a century
I can understand why he scrapped a full upbeat album to make this and drop it
I don’t think it completely got scrapped as I believe save your tears (probably a fairly different version of it) was around before this was dropped and probably would have been on the up beat album. I’m sure there could be other song that this may have happened to as well
How do y'all know he scrapped it? (Not being snarky just asking for a source lol 💀)
@@hoesmad8445 he mentioned it in an interview back in 2018
Now I think you should revisit after hours with the deluxe tracks.
This EP came out as a surprise drop on March 30, 2018. The "Call Out My Name" a cappella originally wasn't included, but was added later.
What a journey! Been here since the After Hours reaction, can't believe it's been a full year already!
Thank you for your reactions, Shelby! Welcome to the XO family! 😁💖
Same! Also joined since that reaction!
You should listen to the Bonus Tracks from After hours there are 3 of them they are really good it’s In the deluxe
I agree
Try Me is one of my favorites on MDM. I love the emotion, vulnerability, and lyrics. Great song. Great project. I enjoyed your reaction & analysis
Glad to hear that the Weeknd content doesn't stop now, super excited!!
i think i’m speaking for everyone, how much appreciated it is that you went into so much depth with every song ♥️
some reactors skip whole parts of songs just because they didn’t like it, when it might be someone’s favourite part, so thank you 🙏😁
I think u should react to more the weeknd songs like might not, enemy, king of the fall, and more
My Dear Melancholy is one of my favorite album titles ever. It just has such a nice ring to it and it captures the sadness of the album in one phrase. Great video!!!
Shelby I've been waiting for this and you delivered !! Appreciate chu 🖤
That’s amazing to say that you’ve heard the entire Weeknd discography. Cant wait for future Weeknd content 🔥
Goddamn, this whole EP is just art, all these songs just describes of the girls who I talked to and decided to betray me, and I thank Abel for making me move forward with my life without them, this is one of the main reasons why he’s my favorite artist, XOTWOD
Another great video! If you like "call out my name" there's a video of him emotionally singing it publicly for the first time, the raw emotion in that video makes it worth it
Am gonna see my therapist to find out why I am addicted to his music. You not only hear his music with your ears but your mind. I literally picture everything. Also the twist and turns both lyrically and his music arrangement gets me. Yes i hear the edited version most of the time.
Btw I enjoyed your reaction, thank you. The lockdown got me a lotta time to browse youtube.
You don’t have to make another video if you don’t want to but I highly recommend checking out after hours again after going thru this full journey of his discography
The heavy heartbreak of mdm, the experimental grandeur of kiss land, the woes of fame and wealth from bbtm, the retro 80s production of starboy, and the dark, toxic, taboo themes of the trilogy mixtapes all put together in one album...he really outdid himself
Still not that good

@@matte_uk you or the album or both ?
@@mrmttr3 lol kids these days , take your likes gg
My dear melancholy got me into the weeknd. I remember my friend showing it to me in 2018. Then I explored his older music and became an xo. This EP really was a turning point in my life and it will forever hold a special place in my heart. ❤️ Abel really is a genius.
6:50
The way i kissed your scars
The way i fixed your heart
Okay, wow. 😳 So, I was listening to 'em MDM songs around 10 minutes ago and randomly, I wondered "Has Shelby reacted to this? 🤔" Minutes later, I opened TH-cam and BOOM! 😂🤍
Good job. 😌🔥
This is my favourite project from him, without any doubt. So deep, sad, pure and so real.
I feel these songs and the whole ep mine, since I first listened to them during a dark period of my life, a few months after the album was released, and instantly became the perfect “frame” for my life during those times.
you are the goat man. XO needs some more reactions. Do Juice Wrld next!
i’ve been waiting for this!
if this hits hard now, imagine when it came out & you’re actually going thru a break up. hit x100000 times harder. i love MDM 🖤💀
I have a playlist for him. He makes me cry. His voice is so angelic, and I can relate to him about my relationship issues.
Waiting for this moment too long , thank you
Finally I’ve been waiting
NO WAYYY IM GONNA CRY
Pd: Privilege is my sad shit.
Privilege is so deep, that songs touches my heart fr
You should really react to some of his live performances and post them! XO fans love watching content creators react to his live stuff.
Also you’re such an incredible reactor! Thank you so much for going on Abel’s journey
You should do his features and or other singles that are floating around of his. I would check out “enemy” by him. It’s a song that never made it on trilogy but was very much recorded around the time of one of the mixtapes.
Let me go, King of the Fall, and memento mori definitely
I think it was actually for kissland, cos he was perfoming it when he was on tour for trilogy (around end of 2012- start 2013 i think)
omgggg yes the final videoooo
I’ve truly enjoyed this journey and your introduction to The Weeknd. I’ve definitely become a fan of your channel overall. The Weeknd actually has another EP that he released before House of Balloons. It’s called The Noise. It’s on SoundCloud so the quality might not be the best. If you can make it work, I think it’d be another good review!
Nobody:
Shelby reacting to the weeknd: 11:36
I missed you shelby , I constantly rewatch your house of balloons 🥰
Been waiting on this
Future Video Idea- "Featuring the Weeknd"
After/During Trilogy he and his producers (illangelo and team) would make entire songs and shop them to bigger named artists to get him out there. You should do a "featuring the weeknd" video
Remember You- Wiz Khalifa ft Weeknd
Crew Love- Drake
Shake it Out (remix)- Florence and the Machine
Nomads- Ricky Hil
In Vein- Rick Ross
One of those Nights- Juicy J
6 Inch- Beyonce
Crew love is so good, even the version without Drake is still golden
Loved this album because at the time when It came out, I had just recently ended a 3 year long on and off again relationship. Knowing the back story to this album and some of the songs, man this thing hit different on some late night drives.
Love the reaction!! What’s funny tho is you listened to the edited version of the EP and the accapella version of call out my name is a bonus track and wasn’t there when it first released
Give me heart Shelby ❤️😢 you are so gorgeous
Girl i JUST discovered your channel through the Gorillaz reaction and now after watching this i gotta throw it out there that theres this group called La Femme and i swear theyll blow your mind, they just released an album and its SICKENING, i wish more people were aware of them!
Gonna keep tabs on aaallll your new vids i love the energy, keep it up sis!!!!
Glad yoi reacted on it.. Loved it so much. Please react more there are more songs singles on the way.
You should definitely react to his call out my name or privilege live on coachella.
This is masterpiece.
I was really hoping you’d tell us which one was your favourite album throughout the discography after had going through them all! Btw love your videos.
You should listen to Hive Mind by The Internet! It’s a band led by Syd and Matt Martians, they were in Odd Future with Tyler, The Creator. Steve Lacy is in the group too, he has really good solo music as well. He makes his music on GarageBand on his iPhone. 🤯
I love your videos!!
I need a my dear melancholy pt 2 🙃
long, long wait and it's finally here
You should check out the deluxe tracks from after hours 👌🏽
*I went through a VERY VERY tough breakup a few months before this came out. Each and every song in this EP I felt. I completely understood. Though the music was great, it was still tearing me up hard*
Call Out My Name samples the drums from his song Earned It. A live performances video would be great to react to!
Yea they sound almost identical
Please do a video of first listening of "currents " tama impala that will not be a waste i promise
LOVE LOVE LOVE!!💫💫
You should definitely have Saba - Care for Me album reaction. Slept on album from 2018. I think you and your audience would for sure love it.
I cannot stop loving hurt you
The ending part is best
BEEN WAITING GOR YHIS ONE
Lost & Found- Jorja Smith
A Seat At the Table- Solange
Urban Flora- Alina Baraz
It Was Divine- Alina Baraz
About Time- Sabrina Claudio
Chemtrails over the Country Club- Lana Del Rey
Ugh, those feels again- Snoh Aalegra
Shea Butter Baby- Ari Lennox
PLEASE take a look at the three bonus songs on the deluxe version of After Hours. It includes a personal favorite of mine, Final Lullaby. It’s very reminiscent of Privilege, to me.
What are the other two?
Nothing Compares and Missed You
Revisit after hours you should definitely do that. You’ll notice a lot of things that you didn’t notice before plus the deluxe version
Shout out to Selena for giving us this EP.
WE OUT HERE!!!!
You should listen to his features cause basically mostly all of his features he makes them his track
Now that you listened to all his songs can you make a tier list or a top 10 favorites or rank his project and give them reviews?
I love your content
Recently discovered your channel and love that you react to whole albums, not just songs like other channels. Please check out twenty one pilots new album Scaled and Icy when it comes out on May 21st, loved your Vessel reaction!
Loved the reaction,my fave albums=kissland,after hours,my dear melancholy;please react to Lana del rey and The weeknd - Lust for Life,and maybe The weeknd Dark Secret too.
This project cant die out, cause everyone will get a bad time in life and this album/ mix tape will last trough the painful times for us
This is my favorite project, the best 😌
Edit: I mainly liked this project because it's like having your head underwater. It's rain clouds chasing you. A foggy gray (or brown) moody day.
Melancholy means a feeling of extreme sadness and hopelessness.
Fun fact The second part of “He Was Never There” was an entire sample of a Meek Mill song too called Cold Hearted II as they’re pretty good friends.
please you have to watch some of his coachella performance now lmfao
It would be nice to make a top 10 songs singles or featuring the weeknd like one of those nights or drunk in love remix or top 10 life performances you have a lot of material from where you can pick,you can check my life playlist for that 😂,love the video btw always watching your weeknd videos with a lot of excitement,I think I mostly like the outro from I was never there but all this songs are beautiful
Try me - I was never there - Hurt you ❤🖤
Shelby: My heart is breaking for him 🥺
Also Shelby(immediately next): Hmm beautiful vocals 👩🏫
Gotta do the after hours deluxe edition, it's three extra songs, they are really good
LETS GO!!!!!! W reaction
You should listen to pain & pleasure by black atlass
The weeknd has sooo unique vibe, love his music so much ❤ here is also some stuff I would love to see you reacting to: Bruno Mars - 24K magic (album) and his Doo-Wops&Hooligans, KALEO - surface sounds, Post Malone - Hollywood's bleeding. If you are ofc into that kind of music. I would also say Michael jackson but i assume you've already heard his music 😅😅
You should really listen to deluxe version of after hours
Selena seems to bring out the best music from her exes. Listen to Journals by Justin Bieber, a little similar to MDM, but Bieber’s best music forsure
LESSSGOOOO!!!!!
MDM is a gem. it's amazing
You should react to DVSN! Preferably the “Morning After” album!
I miss you !! 🥺
More weeknd videos!!!
Can you please do When It’s Said And Done... Take Time by Givēon next?
