You will not be disappointed if you go back and start with his Trilogy mixtapes and go through the discography. The dude changed the R&B game a decade ago at only 20/21 years old.
In your eyes is actually a really depressing song. It’s about him seeing the effects of his partner finding out he cheated but trying to pretend that she doesn’t know and that everything is fine even though they both know the relationship is crumbling
You picked up on so much from the first listen, and it just gets even better with every subsequent listen! You’re a prime candidate for XO! I think you’ll love going through his discography from the beginning and hearing how the character and story develop. I promise it’ll be one of the most rewarding musical journeys you’ll go on (plus, XO loves watching first reactions and reliving the experience through others). Great job!
The Weeknd is one of my favourite singers of all time. I’ve been following him since the very very start when nobody knew who he was and I’m so proud of how far he’s come, especially being that we’re both Toronto kids! Haha but I hope you explore more of his stuff because it’s true NOBODY DOES IT LIKE HIM 🔥
Drake and The Weeknd are both from Toronto and really both popped off around the same time after Drake posted about him online. They have a bunch of songs together, they collaborated a bunch early on. The Weeknd wrote a lot of songs on Drake's debut album Take Care. Drake's brand is OVO and The Weeknd is XO, if you ever listen to their songs they'll say OVOXO.
Faith is all about giving himself up for drugs to cope from his bad decisions he made in his life and the outro represents being in an ambulance because of drug overdose and the transition to blinding lights just makes it even more awesome.
You HAVE to check out the rest of his discography. Literally every project ever released is ALWAYS, written and/or flows like a book. He is absolutely AMAZING. Abel is sooooo mind numbingly goooood!!!!!
So glad for finding this, I'm an XOTWOD fam member, after a year of listening to this, finding someone experiencing it for the first time brings back the feeling of hearing this album the first time last year 😭😍
pleaseeee react to all of his discography. It’s cinematic, and such great lyricism throughout. Plus the production is amazing. Start off with House of Balloons
I am halfway through your reaction, and you have a new follower...After Hours is my favorite album of 2020, and your reaction and deep dive has been the best so far!!...
You mentioned you like dark, moody music, you HAVE to check out trilogy eventually. His best work in my opinion, like you I love dark music and it's all over that album
every song in this album and every album of his artwork is a masterpiece. the production of until i bleed out is the most underrated of this album. the sounds and synths time perfectly with the story of the song and his vocals. beautifully done.
Yesss I've been waiting for this! 🖤🔥 After Hours will take you on an emotional musical journey. You will need to regroup after you listen and crave to dive back in. Welcome to the XO fam!
My favorite part of the album is that when he realizes that it’s finally over and done with in Until I Bleed Out it loops back on itself to Alone Again. It repeats the cycle. He’s Alone Again, and now it’s Too Late to save their relationship because he was the Hardest to Love, and so on..... This album is a cycle of emotion and madness much like the 1985 movie also titled After Hours
Great reaction!!🙏🏻✨ XO he also has a deluxe version of it with 3 more songs , Abel used to be homeless , you’ll def hear it in his songs , you should start from the beginning , the mixtapes house of balloons , thursday & echoes of silence
You have to listen to the 3 deluxe tracks 'Nothing Compares' 'Missed You' and 'Final Lullaby' they are the true ending to the album in my opinion and are just overall amazing.
How it is broken down on the vinyl is also so perfect...Alone Again to Scared to Live, Snowchild to Faith, Blinding Lights to Save Your Tears, and Repeat after Me to Til I Bleed Out...❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction , react to the 3 bonus tracks : Track 15: Nothing Compares Track 16: Missed You Track 17: Final Lullaby It completely closes the chapter n they r excellent songs
Your reaction at 14:19 was one of the most wholesome I’ve seen, you really felt that note and so did I but really enjoyed your reaction 👍🏾may peace be with you
The Album Started with Depressing Songs then at the middle it became happy with Blinding Lights, In Your Eyes and Save your Tears. Then finished it with Depressing Songs. Then after weeks Able dropped extra 3 songs. This shows how The character here can't get closure or can't move on that's how Abel Showed us he made us feel like it's us who are in his position.
Subscribed after this reaction ! I love how you pay attention not only to the music but the lyrics!!! Which to me are so important and really makes the artist *chef kiss*
Hi Michael :) Loved your reaction and comments. Thanks for taking the time and sharing. A quick rundown of Abel’s backstory: He grew up in Toronto in an Ethiopian immigrant family. His dad left when he was still little, like around 2 I think. I think he may have felt like an outsider growing up, he left school and home around age 16 kind of bed hopping from house to house where he could find a roof over his head. It’s often said he was homeless, I’m not sure if he spent time living on the street. He fell into a lifestyle of heavy drug use. He released House of Balloons (the first mix tape) in 2012 I think. He doesn’t do many interviews and doesn’t speak much on his personal life but my understanding from his music and what I’ve read about him (and some psychology 101) is that his emotional pain comes from his dad leaving and an early relationship that meant a lot to him not working out. There are references to all these things in the three mixed tapes (called Triology
(Called Trilogy when re-released as all three together). Really excited to see your reactions to his other work (especially the mixed tapes, my dear melancholy and my favourite Kiss Land). The atmosphere, honesty and emotion of his work is exceptional.
I love all of his eras and albums so much. I love the ride he’s gone on, and the whole storyline of “after hours” like the album is perfectly composed as if you’re watching a movie but he’s like....singing the movie lol. It makes me sad that some og fans didn’t like his “starboy” album cuz it was really poppy and not his usual moody songs about sex but that album has sooo many good songs, I think you’d like it if you listened to it. It gives me major Michael Jackson dance pop vibes as does this album cuz of the 80s inspired songs. He’s genuinely a very talented artist!
okay Abel is my favorite artist of all time, I could talk about him forever, you have to look into his background in order to understand his music. He uses production and his vocals to translate his pain and his emotion, and he manipulates the listener to delve into his psyche. His music is intoxicating, pun intended.
It can close it even better than until I bleed out. LISTEN TO THE DELUXE EDITION. Nothing compares is a masterpiece,Final Lullaby is the perfect closure.
*I remember listening to him when he first emerged. Back when no one knew what he even looked like. Then he finally made an appearance. But he was either drunk but nine times out of ten, he was high asf. And though his voice was good, it wasn’t as good as he could’ve been at that point in time. The drugs really took a toll on him. This album was solid from top to bottom and he sounded great! Some of the best music he’s ever done. And his live performances really show his star power. This could’ve easily been album of the year, but of course the Grammy board is some bs*
Blinding lights is talking about how he is in an ambulance “in the back of a flashing car” as the song “faith” was leading in to. The lyrics “I can’t sleep until I feel your touch” is saying how he can’t die from an overdose until he feels this girl’s touch.
I love that you reacted to this album! The Weeknd has definitely grown as an artist. He has always been great but throughout the years his music has matured! Please react to some more of The Weeknd! Will for sure be back! XO! 🖤✨
A great album.....but I agree with you Save your tears ...is an absolute classic.....it as an almost hypnotic effect on me .....I can't stop playing it,....its so addictive,..and a genuine timeless gem
This is a night album through and through. I had some best inspiration moment going photographing night city lights with this album in earphones. It made me literally high
Great reaction man! I love how you were able to catch onto many of the aspects even without much knowledge of his past and such. I highly recommend going back to his House Of Balloons era as it would be a journey to say the least.
& it was released at the very beginning of covid when the lockdown happened across all america, where you had to be alone to listen to his story - that’s even poetic in a way
It's been a year full of listening to the album and and lots of reactions of it. This specific reaction Michael is by far the best. You really got into the music and the lyrics. You should listen also to other albums of The Weeknd, you won't regret it. PS: His music videos have stories to tell, especially from After Hours, you need to watch a lot of times maybe to understand.
He released 3 bonus tracks in a deluxe edition of the album, nothing compares, missed you, and final lullaby. they all just as good and deserve spots on the album, especially the first one, you should react to them
You should check out all of the music videos of his After Hours singles! They tell a story. Especially watch In Your Eyes and Too Late (in this order 😁)
Abel is a storyteller...When you dwell into his 2011 mixtapes and then KISS LAND, man the storyline is insane. Keeping notifications on cause I know your reaction to those projects will be great
Just circled back to this reaction Really enjoyed your insight and perspective Testament to you that not even being as familiar with Abel and his history you dissected and analyzed things so well and picked up on a lot. Full confession After Hours is my second favorite album of all time behind Thriller To me it is nearly flawless and so dear to my heart. Faith is my favorite from the album but After Hours, Snowchild , and Alone Again are all special. It's an incredible project and not just the album but the whole era the live performances ..music videos everything iconic And last thought is fuck the Grammys for not recognizing this brilliant project
Your insight into the album is so good for a first listen, Abel loves telling stories in his music not only lyrically but sonically. You already know what’s next..HOUSE OF BALLOONS 🏠🎈 you won’t be disappointed!
Great reaction man! loved how you broke down the album, made me see it in a few ways I haven't before (and I've been listening to it for a year lmao). Saw a couple comments similar, but would love to see you do reactions to the rest of his discography, especially the mixtapes on Trilogy! think you'd love them
subscribed, looking forward to reliving these weeknd album first reactions 🙏🏼 p.s. you should def start from trilogy (first official album combing the 3 mixtapes) up to his most recent before after hours to see how great the development is 👏🏼
Theres 3 extra tracks on the deluxe edition, some people are 50/50 about them but I love them personally, you should check those out. They broke me. Great reaction, been waiting for this one so thank you! Love all your videos! X
idk if anyone's suggested this already, they probably have lol, but u should react to his live vevo performances of "faith", "in your eyes", and "alone again" because they showcase his voice SO WELL! and especially with faith and alone again where his voice isnt at the forefront of the mix and is a little overshadowed by the production, in these live performances his voice is CRISP! its great

You will not be disappointed if you go back and start with his Trilogy mixtapes and go through the discography. The dude changed the R&B game a decade ago at only 20/21 years old.
Yesssss! I commented the same thing! Abel is so 🔥 f>ing amazinggggg!
Please do it you’ll love him
He’s gonna absolutely love trilogy
yes plz
You have to do this please! Start at the beginning, you won’t regret it 😎
In your eyes is actually a really depressing song. It’s about him seeing the effects of his partner finding out he cheated but trying to pretend that she doesn’t know and that everything is fine even though they both know the relationship is crumbling
You picked up on so much from the first listen, and it just gets even better with every subsequent listen! You’re a prime candidate for XO!

You’ve said what every XO wanted to say! Thanks anais, XOTWOD🖤
YES you will not be disappointed with this album!
The Weeknd is one of my favourite singers of all time. I’ve been following him since the very very start when nobody knew who he was and I’m so proud of how far he’s come, especially being that we’re both Toronto kids! Haha but I hope you explore more of his stuff because it’s true NOBODY DOES IT LIKE HIM 🔥
Definitely agree with you! He’s something different!! Greetings to Toronto, I’ll def be diving into much more of him 🔥
I’m so excited to watch this journey of you discovering him and his older work
Same! I love watching reactors discover and fall in love with his music right in front of us all to watch. The best kind of videos!
Also you definitely need to finish this on the deluxe version!!! 3 bonus tracks that tie in perfectly to the album and close the entire story❤️❤️❤️
He used to be homeless. That’s when he released his series of three mixtapes in 2012. His biggest influences are indeed MJ and Prince:)
oh and when you said his vocals felt emotional on this one, you’re in for a treat when you hear his early mixtapes !
2011**
Mixtapes are 2011, the Trilogy was 2012
@@samlund8543 I said the series of three as in the whole Trilogy, which was 2012.

I absolutely love The Weeknd, just bought tickets to see him
Luckyyyyy

@@jyliani yh let’s hope not
I bought mine back in 2020. I'm still waiting on the show to start 😂
Def on my must see list!
Faith is all about giving himself up for drugs to cope from his bad decisions he made in his life and the outro represents being in an ambulance because of drug overdose and the transition to blinding lights just makes it even more awesome.
When you were talking about drake I had to laugh. He wrote for drake!!
I was smiling when he first mentioned it but then he brought up drake’s older music so I had to comment
lmao he only wrote 2 songs off of take care and gave him 2 other songs which he was featured on
@@keenan2146 yeah.. he wrote for drake, that’s what I said haha.
lol never forget when drake was bitter after abel wouldn’t sign to OVO and created a name for himself without drake 😆
@a b I have a suspicion doing it wrong and marvins room are his too
You HAVE to check out the rest of his discography. Literally every project ever released is ALWAYS, written and/or flows like a book. He is absolutely AMAZING. Abel is sooooo mind numbingly goooood!!!!!

You’re gonna have a bliss listening to Trilogy and Kissland.
He just dropped Kiss Land today ! Check it out XO
You have to listen to the 3 deluxe tracks 'Nothing Compares' 'Missed You' and 'Final Lullaby' they are the true ending to the album in my opinion and are just overall amazing.
Check out Trilogy! It came out around the time The Weeknd/Abel was collaborating/ghostwriting for Drake on Take Care
OMG REACT TO HIS DISCOGRAPHY PLEASE
I THINK YOU’LL LOVE TRILOGY
There is technically a documentary about him but it’s by a fan account The Weeknd “A legend is born” documentary
Weeknd will be your new favorite ⚡⚡.
How it is broken down on the vinyl is also so perfect...Alone Again to Scared to Live, Snowchild to Faith, Blinding Lights to Save Your Tears, and Repeat after Me to Til I Bleed Out...❤️❤️❤️
Great reaction , react to the 3 bonus tracks :
Track 15: Nothing Compares
Track 16: Missed You

Love your reaction! Thank you. This album is a masterpiece
This guy will not be ready for Thursday trust me that’s a fucking rock album

You should totally check out Mr Dear Melancholy EP by the Weeknd!
Your reaction at 14:19 was one of the most wholesome I’ve seen, you really felt that note and so did I but really enjoyed your reaction 👍🏾may peace be with you
you should do Kissland by the weeknd. It's his best album imo
let him start from house of balloons
Yessss
It’s my favourite

You gotta watch the music videos in release order, they tell a chronological story
Hi Michael :)

This is incredibly enlightening Andrea thank you so much!!
I loved your reaction. This was the best album of 2020, definitely a masterpiece. 🙏🏻 Thanks for reacting!
You’re falling into the best trap ever. His music is going to physically/mentally/emotionally change your life. Enjoy the ride #Xotwod
lol drake actually used The Weeknd as inspiration, ( he also wrote a few of his songs for him so that might be why it’s failure sound to you)
I love all of his eras and albums so much. I love the ride he’s gone on, and the whole storyline of “after hours” like the album is perfectly composed as if you’re watching a movie but he’s like....singing the movie lol.

Awesome reaction I love how you take your time and analyze the music and not just vibe to it. Its hard
Appreciate you brother 🙏
What a good fucking reaction. I truly enjoyed it. It would be amazing if you reacted to more of the weekend’s albums. PLEASE
That would be days of content for your channel
Thank you Juan! I will!
You NEED to watch his performance of save your tears/in your eyes on the AMA's. It was an amazing performance.
Also 4 of drake's songs off of his take care album are the weekends songs. Drake was hugely influenced by Abel in the early years of his career.
A great album.....but I agree with you Save your tears ...is an absolute classic.....it as an almost hypnotic effect on me .....I can't stop playing it,....its so addictive,..and a genuine timeless gem
This is a night album through and through. I had some best inspiration moment going photographing night city lights with this album in earphones. It made me literally high
You definitely gotta check out the rest of the music videos too, they all connect and help form a greater story.
You nailed all of the descriptions and storytelling breakdowns for the songs. Also, the videos are mostly connected too in a way.
Enjoyed the reaction! I'm going to the weeknd concert in February 2022 in Brooklyn 😍😍😍
Scared to Live is my favorite track of the album, gives me chills down my spine 😫
You’ve got to start with his house of Balloons mixtape and work your way up through his discography.. literally amazing you will not be disappointed
since the album dropped I watched countless of reactions but I gotta say this was my favorite
We need after hours deluxe reaction!!
This made me happy bro and you just explained everything perfectly especially about the last song man
this album is top tier‼️
Awesome review g
Great reaction man! I love how you were able to catch onto many of the aspects even without much knowledge of his past and such. I highly recommend going back to his House Of Balloons era as it would be a journey to say the least.
Appreciate you brother
The outro of Hardest to love is just so eerie but I like it sm
& it was released at the very beginning of covid when the lockdown happened across all america, where you had to be alone to listen to his story - that’s even poetic in a way
This is the reaction, love and appreciation I expected from Bigquints reaction 😔 welcome to the XO family
Loved your reaction! You did a very good job dissecting the various things that haunt abel (the weeknd). Looking forward to his earlier work!
This is the one that got me subscribing to your channel. I hope you will be checking out more of The Weeknd's music and music videos.
I appreciate that a lot! & I will!!
Bro you should react to Trilogy if you like dark music...
Believe me you'll love it
XOTWOD
It's been a year full of listening to the album and and lots of reactions of it. This specific reaction Michael is by far the best. You really got into the music and the lyrics. You should listen also to other albums of The Weeknd, you won't regret it.
PS: His music videos have stories to tell, especially from After Hours, you need to watch a lot of times maybe to understand.
Loved your reaction! You just gained a new subscriber. Can’t wait for more Weeknd reactions from you😃
I suggest you listening to his earlier mixtapes.House of balloons, Thursday,Echoes of silence.
He released 3 bonus tracks in a deluxe edition of the album, nothing compares, missed you, and final lullaby. they all just as good and deserve spots on the album, especially the first one, you should react to them
You should check out all of the music videos of his After Hours singles! They tell a story. Especially watch In Your Eyes and Too Late (in this order 😁)
The sequencing in this album is otherworldly, top reaction 🔥🔥
Abel is a storyteller...When you dwell into his 2011 mixtapes and then KISS LAND, man the storyline is insane. Keeping notifications on cause I know your reaction to those projects will be great
Too tier transitions too!! Even in live performances - Also, LA itself, can be a metaphor for the girl, double entendre
listen to house of balloons. btw the weeknd was the first to bring the dark rnb genre to mainstream.
No Drake pioneered it. Weeknd took it to the next level
React to his first mixtape house of baloons
Just circled back to this reaction
Really enjoyed your insight and perspective
Testament to you that not even being as familiar with Abel and his history you dissected and analyzed things so well and picked up on a lot.
Full confession After Hours is my second favorite album of all time behind Thriller
To me it is nearly flawless and so dear to my heart.
Faith is my favorite from the album but After Hours, Snowchild , and Alone Again are all special.
It's an incredible project and not just the album but the whole era the live performances ..music videos everything iconic
And last thought is fuck the Grammys for not recognizing this brilliant project
amazing reaction, brother! you should react to the bonus tracks as well. my favourite song off the album is on there, nothing compares!
Your insight into the album is so good for a first listen, Abel loves telling stories in his music not only lyrically but sonically. You already know what’s next..HOUSE OF BALLOONS 🏠🎈 you won’t be disappointed!
I’m so happy now after watch this video
Great reaction man! loved how you broke down the album, made me see it in a few ways I haven't before (and I've been listening to it for a year lmao). Saw a couple comments similar, but would love to see you do reactions to the rest of his discography, especially the mixtapes on Trilogy! think you'd love them
This was an amazing review and very honest reaction bro, keep it up love how you inmerse in everything, the lyrics and the sounds. Perfect.
Holy crap this reaction is awesome. Your thoughts on this album reminds me so much of my first listen. Subscribed.
Please PLEASE please react to all of his discography starting from trilogy. You'll love it!
subscribed, looking forward to reliving these weeknd album first reactions 🙏🏼 p.s. you should def start from trilogy (first official album combing the 3 mixtapes) up to his most recent before after hours to see how great the development is 👏🏼
Album of the Decade
Loved this reaction man onne of the best, and you definitely gained a sub
Thank you ♥️
Also react to the Bonus Tracks of After Hours
Crazy that the deluxe ending fits even better than until I bleed out
Theres 3 extra tracks on the deluxe edition, some people are 50/50 about them but I love them personally, you should check those out. They broke me. Great reaction, been waiting for this one so thank you! Love all your videos! X
