@@CharlieChecksIt I understand why it’s convenient to have the songs timestamped but it always kinda bothers me lol like stop skipping around watch the whole video!
Every XO fan dreams of hearing trilogy & kiss land for the first time, that’s why we love seeing people experiencing it like we did 🙏 Also, beauty behind the madness album next? 👀
Yes I can understand why 🙂 and yes that will be the next one! Gonna wait a few days tho as don’t wanna burn out on the weeknd. I wanna give kissland time to breathe in my mind 🙏🏼 then move on
Spenser Bailey Best thing about it is, We are both right. I mean how could I tell you your wrong or disagree about HOB!? But if you would have said anything else. We would have had to have a Real problem lol
The Weeknd describes Kiss Land as his very own horror movie. probably why so much of the production on the album sounds so unsettling and almost uncomfortable, especially the screams in Kiss Land. it’s also the only album that Abel said he’d ever consider making a ‘sequel’ to.
As a die hard Weeknd fan, watching other people react to his art for the first time is so satisfying since I can’t resisten to it for the first time. Great reaction, keep up the great videos!!XOTWOD🤩
I love the Japanese-styled elements he threw into this album throughout the songs. It's really genius and helps set the ambience for a great work of music. There are a lot of things that I enjoy in Kiss Land, specifically the way certain songs fade together. If you listen to tracks 3 to 5 without interruption, you almost forget where one track ends and the next one begins. It creates this very realistic atmosphere and the songs just blend together so perfectly. Personally, Tears in the Rain is my fav because it acts like a great closure to this album.
im suprised for the fact that you liked kissland, most people ( me too ) didn’t liked kissland in the beginning but when you listen more and more you like it more and its now my second fav album
Kissland is his Darkness album and ppl dont get it most times because the havent been there in the deep depths of there own darkness , its not a vibe its a experience
So excited to see you do the other albums. I know a lot of fans don’t like star boy but I look at it as him trying something a bit different to his early stuff, it’s still got some great tracks on it if you go into it not expecting him to recreate trilogy. But do stick with him, because My dear Melancholy is a great little EP and After Hours is mind blowing and has lots of references to his early work.
You know you have to do Beauty Behind the Madness now right? If you're planning to do the rest of weeknds discography, I highly reccommend it! The story is not over yet because theres so much more to come. And I can already tell by your likes/dislikes of his records so far that youll absolutely love Beauty Behind the Madness, so you cannot miss it!! Will be waiting for it, you dont have to rush into it obviously, take your time with it because itll be worth it! Anyways are you an XO yet?? Love your reactions, keep em coming.
Yo I love your reactions thank you for this appreciate you bro maybe jsut maybe some time in the future you can listen too the rest of the albums The Weeknd have madeXO
Hey okay so love the reaction thank you for that. Just wanna drop by and say that although I realllllly want you to keep going in order and do BBTM next I feel that After Hours should be next. It’s the most recent (3 months ago) and I think you’ll actually die with the production and lyrical content. It’s a concept album and completely cinematic. In fact the album concept was entirely inspired by films directed by Martin scorcese and the likes. And even though you’re slowly integrating yourself in our world, I can guarantee that After Hours will officially initiate you into XO. I’m stoked for that reaction whenever it comes and will totally share it in our XO subreddit. Trilogy as a whole is a masterpiece but when it comes to studio albums I honestly struggle with determining whether kiss land or after hours is my number one. Keep up the great reactions 🙏🏼 EDIT: after hours will also make you feel lowkey depressed tho lmao so it’s best to listen and react late at night. K bye
Also I wanted to mention, I know you will be reacting to odd look( the track on the deluxe of kiss land) as you said in the comments. When you do, instead of reacting to that track only react to the officially unreleased deluxe as well. A couple months ago, after about 7 years kissland and a bunch of songs from it became number one on iTunes and Apple Music out of nowhere and as a thank you to the fans, he released some unreleased scraped tracks on memento Mori that were supposed to be on kissland. Just search memento mori kissland unreleased and you shall find a playlist. I’m 100% sure all xo will be very happy :)
for “belong to the world”, he uses a sample from “machine gun” by portishead and she’s also a big influence on the weeknd so if you haven’t heard her music before, you should maybe check her out
Portishead is a group and let's just say one of the members hates the weeknd because they said he plagiarized machine Guns instrumental for belong to the world
Wow you uploaded this so fast. Thank you! Side note your getting better at reactions. Picking up stuff a little more. Eventually you will get even better!!! Notice how on the title track Kissland he says "this ain't nothing to relate to", he is saying he knows his music isn't anything for people to relate to.
Love in the sky, adaptation, wanderlust & pretty, are personally my favs. I love this entire project tho. Oh and since u love him and drake collabos, check out the song Crew love!!
Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, and TM88 released a mixtape a few years ago and on one of the songs they sample Lonely Star and I’m not gonna lie, I was hype that I caught it
Fun little anecdote: I was about to buy the Kiss Land “Oxcy” Keychain about a month or two on StockX, it was going for $35 but I was tight on cash so I decided to buy it when I get paid the next week. Between that day and my next payday Kiss Land skyrockets to number one on iTunes after Abel’s TikTok event. Then he rereleased Kiss Land merch and the price of the keychain went up to $140!
Have you listened to Take Care by Drake? If you havent you definitely should! It’s a great album that also features The Weeknd and is inspired by his sound.
Kiss land is a place he makes out to be this place of ecstasy, love, beauty, money. In reality it’s a nightmare "land" of stress, greed, sadness, and jealousy. The album is a tragic conceptual story (mixed in with the stress of his career and tour). Someone else commented the story.

@@CharlieChecksIt I understand why it’s convenient to have the songs timestamped but it always kinda bothers me lol like stop skipping around watch the whole video!
I realize it is kind of off topic but does anybody know of a good place to stream newly released series online ?
@@lawsonbrysen6889 pirate it? Or pay, wym
Every XO fan dreams of hearing trilogy & kiss land for the first time, that’s why we love seeing people experiencing it like we did 🙏
Also, beauty behind the madness album next? 👀
Yes I can understand why 🙂 and yes that will be the next one! Gonna wait a few days tho as don’t wanna burn out on the weeknd. I wanna give kissland time to breathe in my mind 🙏🏼 then move on
@@CharlieChecksIt definitely would give it a breather 🤣 hope you get to blonde!
All good 👌 should be another great video
Albert Chouinard I will!
@@CharlieChecksIt listen to the track "King of The Fall" before you listen to Beauty Behind the Madness
Kiss Land is lyrically his best work to date! The content and subject matter in each song is unmatched!
🤣🤣🤣
I have to disagree it’s close but HOB is his best work both lyrically and in general in my opinion
Spenser Bailey Best thing about it is, We are both right. I mean how could I tell you your wrong or disagree about HOB!? But if you would have said anything else. We would have had to have a Real problem lol
Yes
No
Tears in the Rain is one of my all time favs from The Weeknd
Good choice 👌🏼
Something like kissland will never happen again.Its just true masterpiece.
The Weeknd describes Kiss Land as his very own horror movie. probably why so much of the production on the album sounds so unsettling and almost uncomfortable, especially the screams in Kiss Land. it’s also the only album that Abel said he’d ever consider making a ‘sequel’ to.
That makes a lot of sense. I don’t think I could handle a sequel 😂
As a die hard Weeknd fan, watching other people react to his art for the first time is so satisfying since I can’t resisten to it for the first time. Great reaction, keep up the great videos!!XOTWOD🤩
I appreciate that 🙌🏼
Top 3 Kissland tracks for me are:
1. Tears in the Rain
2. Adaptation
3. Belong to the World
Solid choices 🔥
CharlieChecksIt mine would be 1. kissland 2. love in the sky 3. adaptation
Adptation is a godtier
SAME omg
Gotta put Love in the Sky, if only for the mesmerizing guitar
The ending part in tears of the rain is just so beautiful and you can feel the pain in his voice.
“Precious little diamond” is indeed sampled from a song by that exact title
Thought so 🙏🏼
That dark choir on professional with the beat gives me mega chills.
It’s too good 🙌🏼
Mee to 🤤
The end of adaptation is out of this world too
I love the Japanese-styled elements he threw into this album throughout the songs. It's really genius and helps set the ambience for a great work of music.

im suprised for the fact that you liked kissland, most people ( me too ) didn’t liked kissland in the beginning but when you listen more and more you like it more and its now my second fav album
This album requires multiple listens. Beautiful album. Love your channel, man
For sure 🙌🏼 thank you!
Kissland is his Darkness album and ppl dont get it most times because the havent been there in the deep depths of there own darkness , its not a vibe its a experience
The transition from Adaptation to Love in the sky is SO good, it should be illegal!!! ❤
Love your videos! XO

Pretty is my fav song on this album and my favourite by him overall! Loved this reaction video

XO fam
That precious little diamond is taken from another song back in the days you were right
Yo I love your reactions thank you for this appreciate you bro maybe jsut maybe some time in the future you can listen too the rest of the albums The Weeknd have madeXO
Overtime I’ll definitely be going over his whole discography 🙏🏼🔥
Tbh my favorite track was wanderlust bc it’s like idk it brings me back in time like literally it’s great XOTOWD
Ayyy great reaction bro! Happy you enjoyed it! My favourite song is the title track kissland 🔥
Appreciate that my guy! Solid choice 🔥

Keep up the great reactions 🙏🏼

I guess I have a decision to make 🙌🏼 thanks for the info!

I appreciate that! 🙌🏼 Im trying to get better every video, only been doing this for just over a month or so 🙌🏼
Love in the sky, adaptation, wanderlust & pretty, are personally my favs. I love this entire project tho. Oh and since u love him and drake collabos, check out the song Crew love!!
9:47 bro, at the end of Lonely Star from Trilogy, you can hear him say “ i love the guitars” 😂
Brilliant 😂
Wiz Khalifa, Juicy J, and TM88 released a mixtape a few years ago and on one of the songs they sample Lonely Star and I’m not gonna lie, I was hype that I caught it
Fun fact: “Pretty” is inspired big time by “in the air tonight” by Phil Collins
That’s dope
You have the same reactions I had...ty
Also song #9 pretty has a crazy video to it. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND ENCOURAGE YOU TO WATCH IT
I always wish a silent 'good luck' to those listening to this album for the first time.
ye the town is one of my fav
It’s great! ❤️
Been listening his stuff for 9 years and i cant believe it took so long for his work to be appreciated, from a kid to a man
I look forward to listening to the rest of his work 🙏🏼
You are true ❌⭕. You feel it in your heart and soul. Not everyone does
Appreciate that 🙌🏼
Love your content man! Keep it up
Thank you bro! Appreciate you 🙌🏼
Top 3
Wanderlust
(closely followed) Proffessional
Love in the Sky/Adaptation
great reaction as always. 🔥
Thank you 🙌🏼
Tops in this. Album is tears in the rain, adaption, the town kissland and wanderlust in that order
Noted 👌🏼
XOTWOD 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🌙🌙🌙🌙
don’t look at trilogy as one project. remember it’s 3 separate projects.
I think Abel always intended for them to be linked though. I’m pretty sure they were all released within 1 year
Yes bro!
🔥🔥🔥
Fun little anecdote: I was about to buy the Kiss Land “Oxcy” Keychain about a month or two on StockX, it was going for $35 but I was tight on cash so I decided to buy it when I get paid the next week. Between that day and my next payday Kiss Land skyrockets to number one on iTunes after Abel’s TikTok event. Then he rereleased Kiss Land merch and the price of the keychain went up to $140!
Am so sad for you😥
this is his first studio album
Thanks for letting me know 👌🏼
i love this reaction! Glad you enjoyed it !! xo
I’m glad! It was great 🔥
Have you listened to Take Care by Drake? If you havent you definitely should! It’s a great album that also features The Weeknd and is inspired by his sound.
I think I’ve heard a couple tracks off it but I’ve never listened ti entirely so I’ll check it out soon! 🔥
BBTM NEXT MR. CHARLIE
Mr Charlie 😂 it is next, just need some time to get over how mad this was. Don’t wanna just pump them out and not appreciate them properly 🙏🏼
Also he absolutely hasn’t gone more PC now, there’s plenty of edgy lyrics to come 🖤
Thanks for letting me know 😂🙌🏼
beauty behind madness next
Kids land is my fav song on here
You probably know wanderlust from thriller by Michael Jackson. Start of that song sounds kinda like that track tbh.
Yeah I see that 🙌🏼
After Hours is his third best album after trilogy and kissland .. you should listen to it u will get blown away
I will at some point 🔥
Do Beauty Behind The Madness plsssss 🖤
Soon 🙏🏼
Kiss land is a place he makes out to be this place of ecstasy, love, beauty, money. In reality it’s a nightmare "land" of stress, greed, sadness, and jealousy.
The album is a tragic conceptual story (mixed in with the stress of his career and tour). Someone else commented the story.
please react to lost in the fire! its from gesaffelstein ft The Weeknd . love the reaction vids XO
Okay I’ll add it to the list! Thanks!
I don't care what anybody says. "Tears in the Rain" still stands as Abel's masterpiece in my eyes
This dude will go nuts when he hear alone again and faith
What project are they off? 👌🏼
CharlieChecksIt After Hours🙏
abdelrahman wael sweet, I will react to it at some point 🙌🏼
Can you do (Legacy) by Offset ft Travis Scott & 21 Savage.. they murdered it!!
React to respect the game by mean mill
(Edit) meek mill not mean
Can you do a reaction to “pretty” but with the music video 🥺🥺
some of these songs need a second lesson!!! i was the same way trust me
Yeah I’ve given a few a second listen and they’ve grown on me 🙌🏼
Good song by drake and Wayne is used to off drakes album
