Adaptation on Kissland is gonna give this man a heart attack.
Joseph O. This guy fucking gets it
YES
The town too
My fav song 😎
💯💯
And The Weeknd - Echoes of Silence reviews are in:
"Leave me alone"
Jon Denton (2019)
Still a classic comment lmao
@@likadaboys7 agreed 🤝
2023, The Weeknd in Defame Moi: “leave me alone”
“Oh mate” to Montreal track, that’s funny! 😂😂😂
His face to initiation 😂😂
Lol Everybody is confused on initiation
They don't realize or notice the clever transition till they hear it. . .
The side eye 😂😂😂
@@blackspring3207 lmaoo 😆😆😆
You know you have to do Kissland next, right? Much love, brotha.
Got dat rite 👌
then beautybehindthemadness
Snake35Eric the title track is the best one on there IMO. The beat switch is insane
@@curledseeker6139 Agreed, I remember finding this live version of Professional that was incredible to listen to. The entire project is a vibe.
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.
‘“I’m so glad I don’t have daughters so they can’t meet The Weeknd” 😂
Time stamp please?
lmao
Can't believe I didn't catch that hahaha
Abel: "you look so depressedddd"
Jon: 👁️👄👁️
Alan Seballes 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cannot unsee 😭
Alan Seballes looool
LMAOOOO I was finna say the same! "when your hair's a mess, you look so depressed" is probably one of my favorite lyrics of him
@@123joseg321 his vocals when he said it were brilliant
The Host/XO transition into Initiation is my favourite thing in music

Bless this. Bump. And Bless these reactions dude, its been a gem vicariously living through your first listen. Trilogy is my favorite all time album/project.
Thank you for this! Hope youre having a great day !!!
@@danielbreedlove it's impossible to compete with this album, an absolute masterpiece.
@@ben8376 just tryna help (:
@@jennyB07 thank you Jenny! I hope you are as well
KISSLAND NEXT!!!! YOU GOT THIS JON
Robbie B YESSS! It’s so underrated
Robbie B best album ever
Yes.
so underrated, kiss land is his BEST album
@@Brightnova12 YES
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
I really appreciate that, thank you
AGREEED! Every time I fall in love with an album I come here to see if he’s done a reaction on it (and 9/10 he has which makes me appreciate 20x more 😭)
@@JonDentonyou the goat Jon. 4 years later
Idk why I loved that creepy-ass "Initiation" song as a young girl but damn its still good
October 2011
Not creepy it's literally a high experience like Travis it was different for him than high for this
@@anthonyspencer9527 if you don't think initiation is creepy, i got news for you. (You a creep).
I'll love it forever
Same. It simultaneously disgusted me but amazes me and Idek. It's a rollercoaster of emotions
Beat reaction channel feels like I’m reliving these albums
YESSS I'VE BEEN REFRESHING YOUR CHANNEL FOR DAYS NOW
SAME@!!!!
Same
Real talk
Notifications......?
ahahahahah that’s why you have to turn on your notifications ;)
The Weeknd is special for being able to paint pain in such a beautiful way. There won't be another like him. Thank you for sharing this experience with us!
This is the best explanation I’ve ever seen of The Weeknd. It’s just like there will ever only be one Michael Jackson. There will ever only be one Prince. And there will ever only be one Abel. Best active artist of this century, and it’s not even close
@Daniel Smith we're so lucky to have gotten abel and kanye in the same generation
KISSLAND! Don’t miss out on this masterpiece it’s really lyrical and has a lot of storytelling. It’s also atmospheric and cinematic and the instrumentals are out of this world
marco2470 XOTWOD
The crazy thing about Kissland is when it came out,nobody really fukked with it...other than us die-hard Weeknd fans, but I guarantee that if that record dropped tomorrow, it most definitely would be his biggest album to date!!! Anybody disagree with this statement???
boss frog i mean u ain’t wrong
@@TheFrogFather509 definitely not wrong.
Took my homie 5 years to admit that album was a damn masterpiece
Jon, you da 🐐 for this
someone said the weeknd’s music is narrating his character. he’s “self aware of his self-destruction”
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
I don't think I've ever waited a RUclips video as much as I did during this series. You're by far the best one at doing these reactions and it's not even close. 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.
Thank you
Antti Närhi unsubbed?
@@nickcojocar5474 Lmaooo yes
“dark sexy vampire” 😫😫😂😭😂😂😂😂
King _ Masss so true
kissland my guy you’ll love it
i was smiling so hard when he reacted to D.D.
and now crying to his facial expression when Initiation started 😂
Oh boi Kissland is next, and knowing Jon's taste, it may be his fav 😁😁😁
Earakan Kuruparan it’s my fav

The initiation about to blow his mind lol
it did lmfaoooo when he was feeling a type of way during XO i was like oooof just you wait til the next song man RIP Jon
I always want The Weeknd to go back to this type of music but I’m so glad he changed it up also because I fear if he didn’t I would’ve got bored of the same ol music. The man is truly a legend in his own ways. Out here in Cali, as soon as it’s 70degrees and cloudy it’s Trilogy Szn. Some of the best music I have ever heard
Can't personally agree with the first part but I feellll the second part
Jon: "good side of hell"
Being there since the beginning was such a special experience. The mystery and the hysteria was so intoxicating. Trilogy is just something so dear to me and I'm glad you got to experience it.
Kissland is something that’s gonna blow you away dog, please do it
Did it!!!
@@fernandoluisruelas8387 bro I commented this a year ago I already know 😂😂😂
@@TzaTed ik u know
Kiss Land literally changed my life. It was an experience that you can not miss out on. I need to see a Kiss Land reaction next week my guy
“He is the dark sexy vampire”
Nailed it.
As a black man I completely agree! 🎯
The “leave me alone”, I FELT that, that song is so so dark but SO good you can’t stop listening
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!
There’s my life before Trilogy then my life after Trilogy.
Echoes of Silence was the perfect end to Trilogy💯
Hey man
I just finished watching earlier 2 album reactions just now, and u dropped last one the very next second! Its 1.00 AM here man!
Just like u say in reaction, U CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, LET ME SLEEP BRO!
I genuinely love reading and seeing everyone’s reactions and recommendations for you doing these. XO is alive and well (not that anyone said it was dead) but holy shit are we some passionate fans. XOTWOD
“The dark vampire in his voice. Giving up his manipulation in his lyrics right in front of you”...couldn’t have described the trilogy Weeknd in any better words bro 👍👀🔥
Let me tell you. Kiss Land is whole another world. Trilogy is so dark and mysterious but kiss land has that horror movie vibes in almost every song and the LYRICS!!!! You'll feel like watching a story so get ready for that one.
Kissland is without a doubt the most slept on album of our generation.
Daniel Breedlove I love that album so much it was the only thing I listened to for such a long time 😭
Daniel Breedlove agreed
best album of our generation. nothing will ever compare
I almost passed out when I 1st heard it😂
relax lmfao
All I can say is THANK YOU Jon for opening my eyes to the trilogy, had it on repeat for like 2 days now, its unbelievable 😮
As a fan of The Weeknd since 2011 I can honestly say watching these three reaction videos made me smile. One of the best reactions I’ve seen to the Trilogy in a while. Definitely subscribing and hope to see Kissland next. Cheers!
everybody can agree that there first experience listening to the trilogy was amazing
This is. the best series of reaction videos on RUclips. Its so rare to see someone's first reaction to this musical and emotional masterpiece. You've done well Jon.
You’re the definition on what an Abel fan is. All of our first reactions. You’re reactions were raw and that’s what’s gonna get you far. If it ain’t XO then it gotta go
“Next” is hands down my favourite song of all time 🔥
Next and twenty eight go hand in hand
@@botthemaddog3942 You ever listened to One of those nights?
It is underrated af
same
I was listening to the Weeknd when we didn’t know what his face looked like , made the music so mysterious and deep .
Trying to explain to people who the Weeknd was and seeming crazy , he had no face ...
“look , please, just listen to him ...”
I remember first getting this, no one knew if "Weeknd" was a group a person or a voice. Oh my god this ep is the best thing I think he ever put out . Dark fantasy as an exposure album but the nostalgic feelings I get listening to this again still gives me chills. Out of the trilogy this was perfection. Thanks Jon for going back over this
That LEAVE ME ALONE during the host I just feel that so much
VALERIEEEEEEE WHY PRETEND TO TRUST IN ME 😔🤟🏼
Valeriiieeeeee. 😏😈
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.
watching this made me reappreciate this entire album and ive heard it a million times
Is it just me or is john the best reactor ever especially to abel
It’s not just you he is literally the only reactor I watch
Dude I’ve enjoyed watching you feel the way I’ve felt every time I’ve listened to these records. You gotta follow up with Kiss Land, it’s the magnum opus as far as I’m concerned and I know so many others do too
Nothing beats looking at others react the first time to this beauty
It's soooo good! After 8 years, Outside and Initiation are still 2 of my top 5 Weeknd songs!
finally someone else who feels outside!!!
Montreal
And initiation is amazing can play it a million times
lol Outside is his and Illangelo's masterpiece
I keep coming back to all these mixtapes because I’ve still never heard anything like them, it’s awesome watching someone hear it for the first time
XO/The Host is an incredible song, almost 10 years and I still can't get enough of it.
KISS LAND NEXT LESSGO
I was literally singing and moving along with MONTREAL reaction. U gave the best relatable relation videos. Thank you, was a great nostalgic ride for. XO
same! I revisit Jon's Weeknd reactions whenever I'm having those sleepless nights and vibe with him
“He knows he’s not necessarily right for doing it but that’s just what he’s gonna do.” You got it Jon. Xo.
Brock : Here comes the Pain
Rey : Here comes the Cain
The Weeknd : Here comes the Sun 😍
The end of initiation is taken from one of Drake’s lines in The Zone “that north north, that up top, that OVO n that XO”
If you think about it, trilogy is the collection of projects that started reaction videos on RUclips with Big Quint
No way! I'll have to watch those.
Man I've watched the trilogy reactions about 50 times already!! Keep up the good work bro
When you do KISSLAND do the song "enemy" for a bonus! Definitely one of his most honest and insightful songs.
Nah, enemy came out before kissland. He should listen to it before kissland. That song released mixtape days, it's only right to listen to it after echoes of silence
Skengzor09 ENEMY IS SOOO GOODDD
Enemy is a cold fukkin song...hecka nice!!!
As well as Odd Look by Kavinsky & the Weeknd. Spotify doesn't have the deluxe version of Kissland, and I consider that a Kissland song.
@@Boba_Brett Yeah it would be a shame if he missed out on Odd Look it's definitely one of my favorite collaborations he has done.
The fact that Michael Jackson never got to hear The Weeknd makes me really sad.
I always forget why i love The Weeknd until i take a break and come back to him
Been waiting for the initiation reaction lmaoooo his face. It’s Abel’s darkest song.
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.
I subscribed just for this video. Been waiting all week for it.
ALMOST ON THE 60K JON GROWING SO FAST LEEEEEEEEEEES GO
yay the videos back up lol. i love watching this reaction
JON YOU BLESS US ❤️
It’s time for キスランド
I think reaction channels have a unique responsibility. Most of us are clicking because we want to relive that “first time listen” feel, the goosebumps we felt when we realized we were listening to something absolutely incredible, that would stick with us for a while. You are able to give us what we’re looking for, because you’re so goddamn genuine. People that wear their heart on their sleeve are a different kind of special, and to dedicate a RUclips channel towards that sentiment is something noteworthy. So thank you for allowing me to relive those First-time emotions, and thank you for your empathy. It has helped in these trying times.
JUST WAIT UNTIL YOU HEAR THE TRANSITION FROM ADAPTATION TO LOVE IN THE SKY 😭😭😭 YOU'LL GET CHILLLSSSSSS
The reaction on “Initiation” 🤣🤣🤣 so accurate 😂😂
The title track of echoes of silence just puts all the hairs on my body on end. absolutel chills every time. and i’m too emotionally tapped out to even cry about it but i feel every word he sings and the piano cuts right through to the soul
I was seriously in a crazy place in my life when the original mixtapes came out .. very dark love and the weeknd got me thru it
Montreal is one of my favorite Abel songs, the “hook” in French speaks directly to what he says
House of balloons gets the most recognition and had more popular songs, but this is my favorite from trilogy, so I definitely agree with you that it's better than House of Balloons.
I was waiting for that initiation reaction lol. My favourite track
Production is FLAWLESS! Whole Trilogy produced by Illangelo (the best ever) and Doc McKinney . They deserve same credit as Abel. XOTWOD
Edit:
Jon I wish you good luck with your channel, succes, love and much more. You deserve it. You're honest and you're my favourite. Much love from Slovakia
Excited to see your reaction to the rest of Abel! Peace brotha! Love these sponsored songs! Spreading the love and vibesssss yow!!!
The last songs from the three mixtapes (twenty eight, valerie and here comes the sun) were added when the mixtapes were remastered and released as Trilogy. That’s why ‘here comes the sun’ and the others might sound a bit separate from the other songs, as they were not the original endings to the mixtapes :)
Big S/o from FRANCE
THE WEEKND FANS SINCE 2012 🖤TRILOGY🖤
FINALLY
Was a pleasure going through this again.
hi! i'm a new subscriber after I saw your first part of this trilogy review. you're amazing, and honest. I never felt like you were exaggerating or faking any part of your reactions, which I love. keep doing what you're doing!! Can't wait for Kissland
The weeknd used to be a homeless drug addict for 5 years. I think that’s why a lot of his lyrics are quite dark
Don’t Think he was a drug addict just homeless
kingie91utube wasn’t for five years either mate. It was for one year according to him
Now he’s a rich drug addict
@@DanielRuizVideos pretty much
Drug addicts are unable to perform at concerts and spend hundreds of hours recording music.
I've been waiting for thiissssssss
Do yourself a favor, and react to Kiss Land soon. You will not regret it
And a great reaction as well, keep going at it, thanks for the ride with Trilogy Jon
What a crazy trip Initiation was, felt as if you were in a dark cycle where you’re falling through a never ending hole then you finally fall back into a stand still when same old song comes on…beautiful
Great reaction as usual, the trilogy is still my favorite “album” of all time, love to see others appreciate it and actually understand it
and remember to react to The Weeknd - King of the Fall it's only on RUclips.
Nope it's on spotify
@@ahmedlone2004 what? where? hold up let me check
@@ahmedlone2004 bruhhhh thank youuuuu I never knew, bruh THANK YOU. It was under XO not The Weeknd that's why!
yes its on spotify under a fake page, i think the artist name is "xo"
@@SPFC2011 bro yall are amazing for this, thank you it is like my favorite weeknd song
100% supporting you bro. telling all of my friends that love music as much as i do to come check your channel out.
Echoes of silence is my favourite mixtape of the 3
I really felt every emotions that you felt on that mixtape man. We all felt like that
Yes that’s Abel playing the piano
I thought he doesn’t play instruments?
@@waxcrazy9098 He plays the piano. He’s been playing since a child, his mom put him in piano lessons. Search The Weeknd playing the piano and there’s two different videos of him.
@@kenzieb4907 I suspect he lost this skill now, and there aren’t much piano in his songs now, I can only imagine how it would sound tho
@@RedRumble14 haha no. He still has it. Once you play an instrument for a long time it’s just like riding a bike. It sticks with you. He has a short clip of him playing the piano in 2018 on RUclips.
Can you give me a source, cause i dont believe you
You made me want to listen to Trilogy for the 200th time, after a hiatus of a year... your analysis and reactions are just so refreshing! Thank you and I cant wait for Kiss Land (my favourite album)!
