The Weeknd: does anything Shawn: OOOOOOOOHHHHH MA GAWOD

For having no feet, this guy's pretty quick.

I wanted a sad album from him but I ain’t expect full on breakdowns at 2am and reflecting on my life

You know Shawns enjoying it when he drops the “oh my gaaaaaaard”

Unpopular opinion: Shawn Cee is more toxic than Abel for wanting him to ALWAYS be sad

Me: (hearing snow child for first time) my man spitting Shawn: “is this about cocaine!”

I think some of y’all who are expecting Weeknd’s old music are out of your minds lol. This guy is 30 years old now. He’s matured so much from his Trilogy days that it would actually be kinda fake for him to make “dark music” when he’s so passed those days, all because his fans want that sound back. His best music now is gonna be dark pop/alternative R&B that can be seen as mainstream. I, for one, actually appreciate Weeknd’s versatility and his creativity in using new sounds and production while still bringing back elements of darkness or rawness.

Snowchild is about life growing up in Toronto to where he’s at now

I literally love this album so much. The replay value is crazy high and I didn't skip any of the songs at all.

We’re gonna need a Shawn Cee and The Weeknd R&B collab album now.

Tbh, I wasn't expecting him to go onto such a strong 80's vibe throughout the record, but the more I listened, the more I liked it. His vocals are really good over this type of up-beat 80's synth and although not all songs are sonically speaking highlights, it's worth a buy for me. My LP's are ordered and I can't wait to get some more Weeknd on record.

The Weeknd: But if I OD , i want you to OD right beside me Shawn : YESSSSSS

Escape From LA, Heartless, Faith, and Until I Bleed Out all prod. by Metro Boomin

It starts out with him lonely and then he finds a girl but then he cheats on her in escape LA with the girl in the studio. Then his girl finds out and leaves him. Then In heartless he takes a bunch of drugs and Faith is him starting to overdose and then blinding lights his him like getting taken to the hospital and singing about the drugs and seeing heaven. Then he is saved and brought out of the hospital and the next songs are him trying to get his girl back. Then she won’t take him back so he kills him self and bleeds out. The album like The Weeknd says has elements of love, loneliness, light, and darkness. I really like it and I hope my interpretation makes sense story wise but I think you can listen to the album as a story and as just music. I like it but I like Mac and Dons album more.

Escape from LA on a whole another level surprised u didn't give its worth

I’d give it a 9/10 not because I’m being bias but because the deep lyrics, production, and melodies are phenomenal🔥

IMO this album was put together so cohesively which makes it great, it just flows so well. Mixing and production is amazing, the dark and heavy synths. I understand why some people might not like the strong 80’s pop influence. It’s NOT BAD, just not everyone’s cup of tea. I loved it though, definitely an 8 or 9 out of 10 for me !

1:03 alone again 2:10 too late 2:38 hardest to love 3:26 scared to live 4:15 snowchild 5:58 escape from la 7:38 faith 9:40 in your eyes 11:53 save your tears 12:56 repeat after me interlude 14:19 until i bleed out

LET’S GO SHAWN CEE, YOU WAS MAD QUICK ON THIS ONE

That’s why I love The Weeknd. He’s always used 80s influence in his music. Now he is really embracing the sound but with a twist. I appreciate him so much.

You don’t edit yourself into album covers anymore💔

"Omg, it's getting deeper" - Shawn Cee

Faith - No.1 song of this album

Love that Stranger Things/Blade Runner/Cyberpunk-ish vibe

@4:36 SNOWCHILD reaction “pretty ICE-solated” 🤫 big brain ✊🏾

This album is a straight up 10/10

"RnB Batman - The Weeknd has dropped an album " he not wrong tho

You got the like just because you called him R&B batman

I really like Repeat After Me and After Hours .

This album is one the ones that grows on you by time .

I think The Weeknd didn’t go with variation in sound because he wants this to be a concept album and wants a consistent and cohesive sound to be associated with the character he’s portraying which is very 80s themed, u can see it throughout his music videos

Music has been only Ws so far now it needs you shawn, shake the game with that RnB album

we been eatin so good with all this music this month

The fact you didn’t acknowledge Escape From LA’s incredibleness hurts me deep inside

This is the album of 2020. I legit cried.

The lyrics at the end of Escape from LA had me dying

Everyone be safe and have a great day🙏🏼

idk why but "Save Your Tears" kinda reminds me of Post Malone's "Circles"

I kind of felt that the whole album was him trying to reel the girl in with the uptempo synth pop tracks but like also slightly revealing himself to her in the darker tracks. Or maybe like an internal battle between the trilogy Weeknd and the beauty behind madness Weeknd.

Snowchild and Faith be hitting different🔥💯

1:27 shawn: it´s getting deeper me: hahah he sai- shawn: Shut up

9/10 Until I bleed out, alone again, and Save your tears were my favorite tracks the album was phenomenal to me

7/10 not a bad review. I liked how you reviewed it. You definitely should’ve listened to this with headphones first tho also maybe 1/2 more listens will change your mind a little

I agree with is this album being the better, intense version of Starboy. Also, agree with the 80s pop vibe being really repetitive. Save your tears was when I realized how old its getting for me. The album put together, song for song, is one of his best. No doubt 9/10.

Was refreshing your channel all morning for this, we got here 4 minutes late but I'll take it

"Trying to get in my emotions. Trying to get in feelings. Trying to get in my bag. *My toxic bag* "

The Ceeknd

"R&B Batman, The Weeknd" lol

I’m a fuckin huuuuge fan of synthwave music. It’s a pretty big culture on KZfaq. So this album hit for me

this is one of shawn’s best reviews. i could feel him vibing through the screen.

Yeah I don’t want love because if I ever felt strongly for someone like The Weeknd feels for Bella I’d go insane.. hence the album

Had to correct himself on who’s the toxicity king and give my boy Future his rightful place on the throne

The production on this album is great.. it’s too good, it makes me feel like it was made for like a movie or a netflix original lmao

The album was phenomenal to me so I’d definitely give it a higher rating, but I get its not for everyone so I’m glad you somewhat enjoyed it Shawn! Great review as always💯

Shawn looking buff man

The Weeknd brought the 80’s back. I love it.

I listened to this literally the second it came out, This album is so smooth man, it feels like one amazing continuous song, I was expecting more pop nd dance music like starboy but he went a different route nd just killed it, I haven't had a feeling of wanting to buy an album in a long time, this giving me that vibe back, pls go listen to this album. 9/10

surprised there was no shawn feature tbh

been waiting for this all day

After a few listens to the full record I find that it’s an absolute dark Vegas drug induced masterpiece

Now that After Hours is out the way, let us turn our attention to Shawn's r&B album

Bro I got goose bumps Just hearing it over and over Xotwod

this guy doesn’t like the songs that all slap

Loved your reaction to “in your eyes”!! I like the way you analyzed it!

Having listened to Dawn FM, AA was definitely one of Abel's best work. Dawn wasn't bad. Solid 8. But AA had close to 5 hits that could easily top any track on Dawn. Goated Album.

Hardest to love is something I didn't think I'd like but I fell in love with it

Hardest to love sounds like it should be a Kingdom Hearts song during a montage cut scene

I like the 80s feel to the album like the classic vibe is a mood

O thought it was more like he ODed and the blinding lights are coming from an ambulance

Snowchild 🔥🔥🥶🥶

The sounds on the album makes me wanna do coke in an arcade bathroom and then feel sad afterwards.

your channel are always my go-to when an artist i like drops an album, great reviews c:

og weeknd vibes know that after hours is just a kiss land and starboy baby.

Shawn Cee: it getting deeper 😩 Me: 😳 Shawn Cee: shut up Me: 😂😂😂 he already knew

Even though I feel like The old Weeknd died with the Starboy era, this is probably his best album. I wasn’t happy about the increase in 80’s vibes at first but it grew on me overtime. If y’all want the old Weeknd back go to his tour when the quarantines over and listen to the old projects 🤷🏽‍♂️

been waiting for this one

There’s usually a standout track in terms of sticking in your mind and from this album it’s “in your eyes” might not be the most dynamic but it’s the one that stays in your mind after listening to the whole album

YOUR review was the best out of all the people I watched. I like how you approached this in an unbiased manner and I agree with everything you said, other people were just hyping every song without actually reviewing the album

Legit just subscribed rn, I love this album and liked your input keep it up brotha 👍🏼

REVIW MODUS VIVENDI BY 070 SHAKE! THE ARTISTS PICK ON SPOTIFY, because on Spotify it’s out of order, I don’t know if it’s in order on Apple but you gottttaaaaa

Scared to live is also so beautiful damn I'm happy with this

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS DAD :)))

Bro for you to say this album didn’t have variety is crazy! Every song was so different but explained a story so well.

Top 3 album for The Weeknd one of his best IMO, this album as a bit of everything for everyone.

When he said Jai Paul.... I gotta flashback of some crazy memories. Dude was so ahead of his time... :(

The whole set from Heartless to After Hours is just simply some of the best i’ve heard in all of music.

first time watching one of your videos! you are hilarious 😂 your editing + commentary is seamless **chefs kiss**

First time I’ve seen soundproof walls being useful

never clicked so fast

That Cali line on Snowchild godamnnnnnnnnn. Love it. Loved Faith as well, Metro Boomin kills it as always man, every beat he touches turns to gold.

great vid shawn, i really love how you explain things and shit, imagine if you started a podcast frfr i would actually listen everyday

Expecting a trilogy type album is selfish to ask as a fan because he’s older now. So I’ll take the Batman vibe

I feel like you gotta take a project like this as individual from his older stuff, you can’t expect him to be writing the same exact music almost a decade later

Damn your deep and it's intense, I love it!!!! 😘 People always tell me I'm intence when I'm in my zone so your intenceness is relatable and the face that I feel like u could Handel someone that's always being called intense and the fake that u speek your mind is attachive

As bright as the album sounds, when putting it into context with the rest of his discography and his life, it just radiates a feeling of burnout and desperation and I fucking love it

I see I am the only one who loved the starboy album. I loved that 80s elcectronica /pop vibe throughout. This album is having a similar vibe of the 80s synth pop.

It’s very good, that’s all that needs to be said!

So like, the more you listen to the album the more you like it... I can’t stop
