Bro you hit the nail on the fuckin head when you said “who the fuck is making these beats in 2011” this shit was game changing back then, and so many people tried to copy the sound because of it.
yeah but actually... the weeknd sang the song called the party & the after party is inspired by the beach house so when he said "to pluck all the feathers off all the birds" this is the lyric from master of none by beach house.
@@jackieyundia yeah, but, actually... these 2 things aren't mutually exclusive if you think the beat on "The Party" featuring that Beach House "Master of None" sample was 1) not transformed into something new and genre-bending and as a piece of a wider body of work responsible for shaping modern RnB-as well as rap, esp thru his work on Drake's "Take Care", and continued collaborations with rappers-and more; or 2) this song featuring that sample somehow cancels out the rest of the project and it's influence?? then idek what you're smoking
yoo i felt it when u said "i dont need no blinding lights" these songs are treasureee mannn u gotta listen to echoes of silence and thursday as welllll
aye man, sorry that u are goin through it but i'm glad u found these projects. a lot of us have been in the same place u are rn and trust me, this music heals. hope everything works out w u. stay blessed
Ur reaction to the knowing is the realest emotion I ever seen because I was dealing with a break up when I first heard this song and boy it was a rollercoaster
Wicked games is the best track from The Weeknd. Hope you get better. Listen to the old trilogy, Thursday and Echoes of Silence. Hopefully It'll heal your soul like it did to me back in the days.
My Man get hit in the heart so many times. This album was so fire when it got released. No one knew him, but it was crazy time. Litterly flying away. KUTWeekndW
The Knowing was my favorite track of his for a loooong time. Hit me the same way when I was going through it. Early Weeknd was just different haven’t heard anything like him since
I'm so happy you gave The Weeknd a listen. His vocals are amazing and his production is always amazing! It was heartbreaking to see you get sad but I get it, The Weeknd has many songs that'll get you in your feels, just a warning. I really enjoyed your reaction! I almost didn't watch it at first when I seen the video title, I thought it was gonna be some Weeknd hate 😤 but I was so pleasantly surprised 😄 I wish you the best with your relationship, take care ✌️ XO I subbed too!
Man, The Knowing is the song that made me revisit The Weeknd. I first heard him around Oct/Nov 2011 and he was getting ready to drop Echoes of Silence. I was about to also be out of a 5 year relationship. I listened to these 3 Weeknd mixtapes for yearsssss, my favorite r&b artist of all time. Whether it toxic stuff, relationship, an amazing voice, he just always hits. But The Knowing set it all in place for some reason.
Hey bro sorry what you are going through. The Weeknd is the best bro, youre gonna love him just as much, RIP to Juicewrld also man he was a legend. They did bless us with one song before his passing which is a really good one too if you havent heard it yet its called “Smile”
There were several songs that were originally going to be on this album that ended up getting turned into drake songs like The Ride, Crew Love, and the later released Trust Issues. The later two have nearly complete demo versions with just the weeknd on youtube
@@ellamartintsova5615 Why are you so angry? The lyrics don't necessarily have to be sad. The voice sings sadly, the melody and the theme. Why are you so upset? Do you have an anger disorder? Or do you have personal problems with yourself? 😁
Im glad you coukd see the light of my favorite artist, i was also like wtf how is this his first album and its better than most artist best album. Anyways i wanted to let you know that if you continue to listen to the weeknd (pls do) he has got so may amazing albums, just letting you know that kissland you might not favour but its one of those albums where you need to really listen properly or like a vouple times, beaty behind the madness is amazing i mean the hills honestly, starboy is exactly that, him being a starboy, my dear melancholy is a extended play thats why its short, after hours is absoluteky amazing and youll definitely see why Dawn fm is also rlly good and has some rlky hood songs Also just as a note you shouldnt rlky jugde or pay too much attention to the like main song or singles, there are hidden gems EVERYWHERE
If you are here then I'm glad you decided to reply or take interest in my comment, here are some specific songs from each album that I'd hope you pay attention too Thursday : the birds part 2, Thursday, rolling stone Echoes of silence : DD (Michael jackson dirty Diana cover), xo/the host, the fall Kissland: Kiss Land, professional, adaptation Beaty behind the madness: The hills, Often Starboy: True colours, a lonley night, love to lay My Dear melancholy: I was never there, call out my name After hours: too late, alone again, after hours, until I bleed out Dawn FM: is there someone else?, mkth to a flame, I heard your married
The Knowing was my favorite Depression song in college... it comforted me through the lowest of times, I could sink deeper into whatever state I was in and it was okay.
Sheesh, Im 30 and I discovered this album a little over 10 years ago. Trilogy, imo, is responsible for that shift into artists experimenting with r&b. Shit was so ahead of its time. Everyone was hooked in this Weeknd era.
If you’re still getting over a breakup, his ep my dear melancholy would destroy you. It came out after I had a bad breakup and I had it on repeat that’s when my obsession with him started. I already knew of him but only knew his radio hits . and I had to go back and listen to what I been missing now I’m super obsessed. I even have xo tatted 😂
you need to listen to king of the fall, 5min of pure heat, im abels fan since 2011 and thats my favourite track from him... you wont regret if you never heard it before
Long time Weeknd fan. I was in high school and going through a lot. He was my soundtrack during this era. Glad you're tuning in ! Keep going. Got a sub from me!
Just finished watching the full video and I hope ur doing well. You’ve acctually become my favourite non- fifa TH-camr after watching just one vid, I mean the content is great but u just seem like a very nice and genuine guy which is great for videos like this. On the album; it is universally agreed upon that this is the best overall album by the weeknd in terms of music just because of how perfect all the songs are. I agree that it is the best but it’s not my favourite though, my favourite is after hours but that also comes down to the smaller things like the promotion and because it has my favourite song aswell on it which is ‘After Hours’. Can’t wait to watch more videos
If you loved this album, you will love Thursday, Echos of Silence, and Kissland. These early albums are heavily slept on because everyone was listening to Lil' Wayne, Drake, Jay-z, Kanye, Kendrick. In my opinion, Kissland is the most slept on album in the last 15 years. The production is even better than House of Baloons!
The Weeknd been my #1 for a while. There’s so much unreleased that’s amazing too but please react to Thursday and kissland as well. Both amazing albums. And echos of silence
I don’t know why TH-cam recommended me your video, but I’m so glad it did. I love The Weeknd’s music from this era and your reactions and mine were synced. He gets me feeling a certain way and it hits so damn hard. You were practically speaking my thoughts. Keep it up man, just subbed! Also, can you react to his album Kissland? Insane project.

@@jackieyundiaWait but Master of None by the Beach house came out 9 years ago while The Party And The After Party was 13 years ago

13 years and this album still hits hard
I wish I could listen to all his songs for the first time again 😮💨
Same
Now some of his songs are getting overplayed by me and they don’t seem as good
Respect for not pausing every 20 seconds. First reaction video I actually liked. +1

LOVE YOU BRO STAY STRONG

after hours is absoluteky amazing and youll definitely see why
Dawn fm is also rlly good and has some rlky hood songs

FUCK IT WE BALL
This will always be my weekend.
The Knowing was my favorite Depression song in college... it comforted me through the lowest of times, I could sink deeper into whatever state I was in and it was okay.
the morning top 3 on that album my number 1 favorite weeknd song
Next you gotta listen to Thursday after that Echoes of silence
THATS NEXT
3:50 how this guy listen through that extended chorus masterpiece and barely flinch. Even while sober that blows my mind every single time
Sheesh, Im 30 and I discovered this album a little over 10 years ago. Trilogy, imo, is responsible for that shift into artists experimenting with r&b. Shit was so ahead of its time. Everyone was hooked in this Weeknd era.
First heard him in 2010 and all I can say this album was the reason I became a fan, his new stuff is okay but this still remains top!
If you’re still getting over a breakup, his ep my dear melancholy would destroy you. It came out after I had a bad breakup and I had it on repeat that’s when my obsession with him started. I already knew of him but only knew his radio hits . and I had to go back and listen to what I been missing now I’m super obsessed. I even have xo tatted 😂
IM HEARING GOOD ABOUT IT IM DEF GONNA LISTEN
You’re in for a ride🙏
We in the same boat my guy. I'm also going through a break up and went back to the weeknd old music for therapy
HOPE SHIT GET BETTER BRO FR
@@cancerousv2 already feeling better. Thanks my guy. I subbed and can't wait to see more of your reactions
Thank you so much for making this 😭 this is exactly how I felt my first time
I can't explain it but his reaction to The Knowing is just how it is y'know. Thats just how that song be
Do NOT have her in mind when you listen to echoes of silence 😂🙏
you need to listen to king of the fall, 5min of pure heat, im abels fan since 2011 and thats my favourite track from him... you wont regret if you never heard it before
BEEN HEARING GOOD ABOUT IT I GOT YOU
Fr tho that’s like top 20 which doesn’t sound great but for the weeknd it’s pretty good
Idk what happened to the weekend, after this era he changed and went more poppy and i hate it. I wish he still made music like this.
Damn bro got so sad by the end. I feel u dawg
I think its safe to say we alll felt that way on the first listen of the knowing NGL
SURPRISED IT GOT THAT MANY LOW VIEWS
@@cancerousv2 it makes no sense. Although the knowing on the Trilogy album might have it at more streams 🤷🏽♂️
Wicked games aint no game 😞
20:38 this got me fuckin dead 💀💀💀
wow all of these reactions are spot on i feel you
His first unreleased ep called bullez n nerdz is a rap album
ngl lowkey the best album of all time
Long time Weeknd fan. I was in high school and going through a lot. He was my soundtrack during this era.
Glad you're tuning in ! Keep going. Got a sub from me!
Brooo same shi, this album associates with my high school era af
The mixtape era miss it dearly we all wish he would go back
My fav album ever the trilogy. I love also the birds interlude, that didnt make it in the final album.
the pitch up in the party & after party is a sample from beach house called master of none. another great song.
the fact that the rick and morty vid ended with the song is wildddddddd
I'm goin thru what you goin thru too brah, stay strong and simp to The Weeknd. He been my go-to since 2014 lmao
Just add whole trilogy my brother!!! 🖤
