Yess, the production on Kissland is crazy! Deserves so much more recognition, might take a few listens for some but some really incredible music for sure!! 💙👏 :D
Gotta say I like your high edit videos, but i REALLY like your kinda rambly- music knowledge mixed with personal stories talking and reacting about the music videos.
I love how cinematic The Weeknd(spelled wrongly) is. He’s one of those artist who’ll just leave Easter eggs and cryptic messages in everything for fans to figure out. Like his name, it’s obviously the Weekend(Saturday, Sunday, etc.) but another way of looking at it is Weakened, like the characters he’s always singing about and how their lives of partying and broken hearts would leave anyone weak.
At the original Woodstock festival, the Grateful Dead played a nearly 90-minute set that started around 10:30pm. Creedence Clearwater Revival was set to go on after them, but the majority of the audience had gone to sleep due to it being past-midnight by the time CCR got on stage. John Fogerty, who was pretty pissed about the circumstances, went up to the microphone and said, “We’re playing our hearts out for you and want you to have a good time.” From the very back of the crowd, a guy shouted up to Fogerty, “Don’t worry about it, John. We’re with you.” We’re with you, Mercurial.
This is all I need. One of my new favorite RUclips music reactors is being introduced to my all-time favorite artist for the first time, and from the beginning of the body of work, and the first song of the first body of work has THIS reaction from him. Truly a great moment. What a time. Thank you, M6. Can't wait to watch part 2. (Shit, he just pulled out the guitar!) Can't wait to watch you journey into the Other Side. Fly, Pelican, Fly.
When you picked up your guitar for the first time in a long time 😢 that's the power of good music ..good mash up! I'm extremely proud of this reaction thank you!
Finally someone who can listen and appreciate music the way I do, you don't know how much this means to me, wish my friends were more like you in that aspect
Ive been listening to trilogy since i was like 14..just one of those artists I listened to while growing up. His style has changed but I still love every song he produces. Also, just wanna say that I enjoy listening to you ramble on ab the weeknd spelled wrong lmfao
Thank you Mr Mercurial! Incredible video. I would love this style of video for all the songs on House of Balloons. So jealous you're hearing it for the first time. 🙏
To me the best thing about The Weeknd mixtapes is his vocal riffing and melodies, and I can tell ur going to enjoy it by the way ur always harmonizing in the reactions :)
I am proud to say I was not part of the 95% lol. Hearing you ramble about music is really entertaining. I know you like going straight through without stopping during your music reactions but if you had a topic you wanted to talk about after a song I’d love if you took a pause to talk about it
Need trilogy, 808s and heartbreak, Be - Common, and days before rodeo- Travis Scott. Be was all produced by Kanye. You can get 808s and Be on vinyl ❕I know that makes your toes curl Mr. 6😉🤪

Mate. Im really sorry for this. I’d genuinely wish we could do something about this. You got quality content and I personally love these vids. Hopefully the fuckturds at UMG will realise that they’re messing up terribly. Big up my g ❤️
im happy hes gonna go through he's albums in order it would've been cool if he did after hours straight away cus its one of his best (in my opinion 2nd after the trilogy) but this way he's gonna see the progression of the weeknd and how he grew into what he is now
I cannot wait for the next video in this series! You will probably need that guitar for most of the songs on this album, the production is amazing but also has a bit of room for you on it
I was just playing this mixtape at work anticipating when you were going to cover it and I go on my lunchbreak and see this video....I was so excited, ik you'd like this song the production is so interesting P.s. I LOVE THE GUITAR
I can't lie, i saw this notification and I nut all over my screen. Thanks for that. Truly a blessing. I've been waiting for this day since I started watching your channel. Made my whole week
Loved this. Really hope you plan on doing more of these, idk if you plan on doing all the mixtapes as that would take forever (though part of me hopes you do). Not only do I always enjoy seeing people’s first reaction to my favorite artist, but seeing you pick apart the production truly gave me a greater appreciation as to how much of a genius Abel, Illangelo, etc are. Also I had no idea how much I needed a guitar cover of High For This until now 😅🔥
Thank you for starting from the beginning 🙏High For This is one of my favorites & I have many of them. I first listened to him when I was 30 when he did Crew Love with Drake ))) then I heard Wicked Games randomly while hustling been a fan since but more fan of his real life persona as a real human 😊🖤 also, If you haven't went through many life experiences or don't have knowledge of MUSIC in general, Not for everyone " this ain't nothing to relate to" Even if You try 🎶XO
If it’s one-off songs, I’d love to see one of the following: Montreal; House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls; The Birds pt 2; The Party & the After Party
I know stuff like this and especially the reactions to older music gets less views but I just want to say that these videos are great! (Also I’d be interested to see a Beatles album ranking video)
Honestly his first 3 tapes are fucking majestic. And his KISS LAND albums almost combines and pushes on and evolves all 3 in one gigantic hybrid
@@nocapillary Production wise It would be Mercurials fave I think, the productions just so fucking amplified compared to the spooky trilogy tunes.
Kiss land praise >>>
Yess, the production on Kissland is crazy! Deserves so much more recognition, might take a few listens for some but some really incredible music for sure!! 💙👏 :D
kiss land is the most cinematic weeknd album, wanderlust is a crazy song. whats ur guys favourite song off it?
Wanderlust is my favorite for sure
Gotta say I like your high edit videos, but i REALLY like your kinda rambly- music knowledge mixed with personal stories talking and reacting about the music videos.
You're in the minority... but I like this type of video too. I wish more people did videos like this for me to watch!
@@mercurialno6 The Number Six Mercurial
YES.
i dont get why ppl like to just watch ppl listen to the music, i want to hear what they are thinking, which will require rambling most of the time..
I agree so much
hearing him play guitar in the background while it played was something i didn’t know i needed
House of Balloons is a great mixtape and I’m glad you’re listening to The Weeknd. Loved you breaking down the production. Great video as always
CANT WAIT FOR THE FULL REACTION OF THE TRILOGY
💯🎵🎵🎶🎶
mfw he spends 3000$ on the trilogy record
You could definitely podcast like this and I'd definitely listen man..
Fr
I’m a huge Kanye fan and The Weeknd is my second favorite artist by far. I think you’ll love Trilogy!
they both have such complex production, its incredible
@@693gamefreak both innovated genres
Kiss land
We’re in the exact same boat lmao, Kanye is my 1st favorite, The Weeknd is 2nd.
They're like yin and yang
I’ve never noticed that production touch on “hand” and “scared” before, wow. That’s good.
BROO IM SO EXCITED FOR HIM TO HEAR THE TRILOGY
This style where you thoroughly break down the production techniques is amazing.
Love that you’re taking a deeper look at the weeknd.
I love how cinematic The Weeknd(spelled wrongly) is. He’s one of those artist who’ll just leave Easter eggs and cryptic messages in everything for fans to figure out.

Illangelo is the name of his long time friend and engineer, and he is who to thank for the things you’ve been pointing out here! Your videos are great
When you picked up your guitar for the first time in a long time 😢 that's the power of good music ..good mash up! I'm extremely proud of this reaction thank you!
Nahh the talking bits are the best parts I love them
Finally someone who can listen and appreciate music the way I do, you don't know how much this means to me, wish my friends were more like you in that aspect
2:23 you almost quoted one of the lyrics from the song Lonely Star on Thursday Mixtape
🤣🤣🤣
Wow, the give into me part took me by surprise. The mj vibes are strong with this one for sure.
this is amazing, pure gold
:-)
Love your rambling and editing Number Six, honestly the only reasons I watch your “reactions” if they can even be considered that
This is why you are the best music reactor! Thank you for doing this! You will not regret it!
ONE OF MY FAVORITE WEEKND SONGS LETS GOOOOO
Ive been listening to trilogy since i was like 14..just one of those artists I listened to while growing up. His style has changed but I still love every song he produces.
Also, just wanna say that I enjoy listening to you ramble on ab the weeknd spelled wrong lmfao
Thank you Mr Mercurial! Incredible video. I would love this style of video for all the songs on House of Balloons. So jealous you're hearing it for the first time. 🙏
TMNS, you're my favorite Music Reactor Channel, you're so enjoyable to watch!
Thank you. :-)
The Weeknd saved me from a dark place. I’m happy my favorite you tuber is reviewing him THANK YOU MUSIC COMES FROM HERE ❤️
the only channel i know that disses their own audience
:-D
oh my gosh, its finally happening... thank you Mr. Six i'm so exited for you to hear these projects for the first time!
Your music reaction and commentary is god tier man
To me the best thing about The Weeknd mixtapes is his vocal riffing and melodies, and I can tell ur going to enjoy it by the way ur always harmonizing in the reactions :)

I recommend letting some of the songs run into the next one on the albums because the transitions are absolutely elite!
rolling stone by the weeknd you’ll love it has an amazing acoustic in the background
This is the most authentic and original reaction video I've ever watched. Amazed Mercurial can't wait for more Weeknd
One of the best personalities on RUclips. Passion, witt and energy unrivalled
the fact that my fave music RUclipsr is talkin about my fav music artist … *chef’s kiss*
Trilogy was on repeat all of my high school years it’s my fav album ever
I didnt even know you reacted to this masterpiece. But Trilogy as a whole is amazing. This is pure XO
The guitar outro... loved this
And, kinda in keeping with the theme of the video... thank you UMG for sticking adverts over this obviously 'educational' and completely fair use video. :-)

Welcome to the Music side of RUclips
FUCK UMG
Dude what if you start streaming on twitch, would that fix it?
@@giovanelucko8250 he couldn't keep the vods up, because of copyright
Favorite reactor solely(🦶) for the long rants & how you mimic/break down the sounds you hear. Your mind is something else
His first mixtape is LEGENDARY. we need a full reaction brother
The Weeknd has a lot of Phil Collins influence and he has sampled Portishead on his album Kiss Land
Sorry to spoil I just want you more interested to listen😅
As You Are from Beauty Behind The Madness sounds like a Phil Collins song
What?? Which song does he sample Portishead on? I haven’t listened to much of them so I definitely didn’t catch it.
Your breakdowns are always so in-depth! Can we get more of these longer breakdowns of a song?
you don't even know how much I love ur rants and in depth analysis.
im happy hes gonna go through he's albums in order it would've been cool if he did after hours straight away cus its one of his best (in my opinion 2nd after the trilogy) but this way he's gonna see the progression of the weeknd and how he grew into what he is now
i like this kinda video a lot! would love to see more
I cannot wait for the next video in this series! You will probably need that guitar for most of the songs on this album, the production is amazing but also has a bit of room for you on it
These types of videos are genuinely my favorite videos on youtube
thank you mister six
the beat drop is sublime on this one
Your energy is so manic and pure. Great, entertaining video
Your reactions are getting better and better
I was just playing this mixtape at work anticipating when you were going to cover it and I go on my lunchbreak and see this video....I was so excited, ik you'd like this song the production is so interesting
P.s. I LOVE THE GUITAR
I Love this, love the rambles, love the chatter
I can't lie, i saw this notification and I nut all over my screen. Thanks for that. Truly a blessing. I've been waiting for this day since I started watching your channel. Made my whole week
I absolutely LOVE this channel
Can’t wait for you to listen to the house of balloons
I’m already looking forward to your Kanye West - Donda reaction and the album isn’t even out yet
Loved this. Really hope you plan on doing more of these, idk if you plan on doing all the mixtapes as that would take forever (though part of me hopes you do). Not only do I always enjoy seeing people’s first reaction to my favorite artist, but seeing you pick apart the production truly gave me a greater appreciation as to how much of a genius Abel, Illangelo, etc are.

Enjoyed the kinda breakdown at the start lol
Please continue this series
Subbed!!
You’re the GOAT for posting this
I’m glad ur reacting to this old ass song.... this is the old Weeknd btw back when he was a teenager
When this first came out I remember Joy Orbison playing The Morning 3 times in one night. Such a time and sound.
Thank you for starting from the beginning 🙏High For This is one of my favorites & I have many of them.
I first listened to him when I was 30 when he did Crew Love with Drake ))) then I heard Wicked Games randomly while hustling been a fan since but more fan of his real life persona as a real human 😊🖤 also, If you haven't went through many life experiences or don't have knowledge of MUSIC in general, Not for everyone " this ain't nothing to relate to"
Even if You try 🎶XO
Love the whole vid! Your “reactions” (I think they’re more like dissections) are getting me through uni.
Thank you for listening to the comments! Hope you enjoy your dive into The Weeknd (spelled wrong of course)!
Ready for this Weeknd run🙏
I like when you ramble, you are very knowledgeable
Ayy this was dope cannot wait for you to react to more of his shit. Are you gonna react to each track in an individual video ?
I love how he didn't answer your question and just liked the comment
Just came across your channel and enjoy your unique way of reacting to music!
Cheers from California mate!
I was just going to comment under one of your videos, that "you should give a listen to some of The Weeknds old stuff" :DD
Love your pre reaction off the top convos lol
OMG I been waiting for this for so long love this song!
can’t wait for you to react to the whole album :)
Omg! Thank you for making this happen!!!!
Really, really loved this :)
The Weeknd journey has begun for mercurial.
The breakdown for High for This has me excited for you to hear the rest of his music. Love the video!!
keep doing what ur doing its so entertaining cant wait for utopia to drop and hear that
Weeknd is one of the best artist of this generation.You need to react to his trilogy album.
Bro, ur so close to 100k subs, we gotta get there
This video makes me happy
Mercurial Number Six + The Weeknd (sans e)? Yes please.
The wooden holder for the headphones are lovely.
If it’s one-off songs, I’d love to see one of the following:
Montreal;
House of Balloons / Glass Table Girls;
The Birds pt 2;
The Party & the After Party
Even though you said you were being 'irritating' in this video, I would love to watch more of you being 'irritating' over the whole album. Keep it up!
The whole 28 min is great wow, only 'reaction channel' I listen too. Very good mate
Crazy how he went from being homeless singing blues on the bus to being one of the biggest artists in the world. XOTWOD
Please go in order 🙏What You Need is the next probably my #1 off this mixtape 🖤🎶🎶
That last comment 😂 you hyped for DONDA aswell huh?
Thank you for this vid! Great as always
Oh yes, been waiting for weeknd reactions
you seriously are the best music reactor on youtube by far
Man censored his foot😭😭😭
You are the best reactor!! You will grow believe me its too entertaining!! please carry on
High for this - more like more u need to be high for this reaction
You need to do all of Trilogy, some of the best, most evolutional RnB ever made.
I know stuff like this and especially the reactions to older music gets less views but I just want to say that these videos are great! (Also I’d be interested to see a Beatles album ranking video)
i feel like a great "dis-cover" series would be car seat headrest
PLEASE DO THE REST OF TRILOGY YOULL LOVE IT
