      Surpsingly, that wasn't even one of his favorite songs from Kiss Land, and he barely had anything to say about it. He liked The town, Love in the sky and Belong to the world far more, I think they were his three favorite songs from Kiss land, which is funny, because Professional and Adaption are my personal favorite songs from Kiss Land.

    Initiation, as dark as it is, is one of the most musically creative songs The Weeknd has ever written. The up and down modified pitch of his vocals represent the ups and downs, the mania and depression, the girl is experiencing through her adventure of drugs, sex and partying and the lyrics portray what that lifestyle is guiding her to do. It truly is a masterpiece

    Initiation - as a recovering addict/alcoholic, this song was just a vibe that made my skin crawl when i first heard it. It was my lifestyle at one point, high on uppers and then coming down to ‘normal’ and then messed up on downers, then coming back up, constantly trying to find that miraculous balance that never truly existed. This song weaving between the highs and lows is just such a great musical metaphor for how this day to day tug o war can be so exhausting.

    I feel like you need to know this: you actually may be the best music reactor on the whole of RUclips. The way you break down songs/albums and are able to describe so eloquently the sonic and thematic/conceptual elements of music is top tier. I mean to the level you could be a professional music critic (whatever the fuck that is). I think Rock Reacts not being a thing anymore allowed you to reach new depths in terms of analysis. More power to you. Wish u all the success

To be the man you gotta beat the man, and there's nobody even in the same stratosphere with you. Not sure if you're continuing The Weeknd season, hopefully you do, but at some point would love to hear your thoughts on Trilogy as a whole, when you've had time to go through it with time and Genius. In video, audio, writing, anything goes, just interested to hear your thoughts after a while. Anyway, great job as always. Unsubd.

    Oh hey, react to his standalone track "Enemy" BEFORE KissLand. It was kind of a bridge between the two bodies of work. It wasn't on an album but he has a knack for dropping a tease before the release of a new album. Enemy was first. Then, after KissLand album, he dropped "King of the Fall" before Beauty Behind the Madness.

    This for me is the pinnacle of his mixtapes. The emotions in his singing is super expressive compared to the previous mixtapes. Something about this record is always why it’s in a constant rotation for me.

    I just have to say, your reaction to the first 5 seconds of D.D. is probably the most genuine reaction to anything I've ever seen on any kind of reaction channel. That first little bit of confusion when you hear the opening lines like "Is he really doing this?" Then that little smirk 1:33 when it finally kicks in like "Yeah he's fuckin' doing this." I think I can speak for all Weeknd fans when I say that we had that EXACT reaction. Thank you for restoring the feeling Jon!
