Slayr brings near perfection in his latest deluxe, which serves as an entire new set of production from the original.
I really appreciate the consistency of the production and overall vibe Yeat brings here. However there are still some lackluster lyrics and moments where I feel like I'm listening to SoundCloud rap again and that's the main killers. LOCO is actually crazy tho and while I don't mind some of the slower cuts they take from the experience to me. I'll definitely come back to a few songs and overall as an album it's a solid experience.
I'm gonna do what Tyler said and not compare this one with any of his other albums. I think it's wrong to do so anyways. But this album is truly so fun backed with some super impressive production and a shorter run time. I think it complements the album well as a long LP of this while possible would probably drag a little. Tyler does it again.
A lot of impressive ideas but almost as many misses. But extra points for consistency and theming.
My critique of Sabrina is only her overbearing exploration of sexuality and grossly clichéd depictions of love. There is foundation here but she needs to grow more as a person first before we have a chance at something great.
I like Drake with the melodies until he releases the same song for the 100th time.
The technicality behind this album is what stands out to me the most. The mix and engineering is so well done. However it lacks in overall art direction. Still a solid record.
I had this one on the backburner to listen to and finally came around after the Grammys. Mad I waited so long. Complete banger but still some room for improvement.
Honestly I just don't think I'm as crazy about The Weeknd as I thought. The 22 track movie length album doesn't help with that case either. Shorter would have been better here. That being said it is some of his better work despite me enjoying earlier projects more. I would love to see an era of music next under his real name or something could be cool.
