Not because it’s pop after hours is pretty much a synth pop album but the problem with albums like BBTM and Starboy is they lack cohesion and some of the tracks on BBTM and Starboy were just filler and shouldn’t have been on those records and made those albums sound more like mixtapes than actual studio LPS

Yeah, at this point idk what the difference is. Its not extremely pop, its kinda like in the middle and his overall style was similar too. People nowadays just assume that more mainstream=worse art, even though that’s completely false! BBTM and Starboy are legendary albums you can’t tell me otherwise.

Idk I didn’t like a few of the tracks on it. There’s maybe 10 or 11 tracks (out of 18) that are great and replayable but the rest is just annoying filler to me. If the tracklist was cut down a bit I’d like it more

starboy is fucking amazing, but After Hours took it to a whole new level. I think it's the deepest and darkest album he's made, and it's the only album ever made that I personally find to be a perfect 10/10.

The Weekend is slowly but surely moving into legendary territory. His music will be timeless

5 years later Starboy is everything a Pop album should be, full of danceable tracks (Starboy, Secrets, A Lonely Night) and slow jams (Die For You, I Feel it Coming, Attention). Pays tribute to Michael Jackson and throwback pop/Disco. Each song telling a story (love, fear, paranoia). Starboy in my eyes is a classic Weeknd album💯

Ordinary Life...is my favorite Weeknd song of all time. So underrated just like Faith from After Hours.

This was the first album that REALLY got me into The Weeknd. I had heard a few hit singles from Beauty on the radio and was interested. Once the self titled track Starboy came out, I was hooked! Been a huge fan of his music ever since then! Super excited for his upcoming record! Really love these mini documentaries as well. Very professional! Keep them coming! You should do one on My Dear Melancholy! In my opinion that is a very underrated body of work from Abel even though it's only 6 tracks..

Thank you so much for making this video. People really forget why Starboy is such a good album. I love Starboy and it’s my favorite album from all of them. It just sounds so unique and amazing. It has the best songs I’ve ever heard in my life lol. The way u described the story behind it really shows to prove that these “real” xo fans gotta stop defying who The Weeknd is when Abel is the one who defies himself and that’s what he did with Starboy. It was a rebirth like u said and it really does have a story. I like listening to Starboy because it makes me happy it makes me feel good. I also love the love tracks that it has. Cause even tho u have it all and are a Starboy, you can still fall in love with someone and wanna die for them. It really shows who The Weeknd is and how much his life has changed. Obviously things went downhill for him and we got the next 2 albums. But even with Starboy he tells a lot about himself. A real XO would love Starboy and understand the truth behind it and understand that The Weeknd is not just a sad heart broken singer. He’s one of the greatest artists to ever exists and he made his way up to even become a Starboy. Thank you for this video lol

great vid man I like to think of his albums as independent personalities. He's even said himself he redefines his character for each project and obv starts this one by killing is older self, quite a bold statement. Id argue the abel we see in later projects isnt the same abel from this project. I like to think the character he makes for each project is a semi reflection of himself at that point in his life, but ultimately theyre all meant to be different personas.

I will preface this by saying in no way is this meant to come off as trying to imply I have fame in any sense. But watching his videos my mouth is on the floor seeing have a theme track between his life and my life experiences (in different social environments and different career industries). The parallels are creepily uncanny. The point being I am technically the same person I was then. But in every meaningful way I’m completely different. Same could apply to him

ORDINARY LIFE HAS TO BE A TOP 5 IN MY FAVORITE SONGS OFF THIS ALBUM...

whenever daft punk collaborates with someone you know it's gonna be a hit. starboy is insane

ngl I always thought Lana would be the perfect collab, Weeknd is the guy lana constantly talks about in her music and vice versa, was really cool to see it happen the way it did in starboy. All that aside the way Future comes in on All I Know is such a great musical moment, also its neat to see someone else appriciating this record.

starboy is my favourite weeknd LP.

This whole album was a VIBE this Abel was definitely needed for the time we were in in 2016!

definitely my favorite weeknd album

So many memories with this album and the songs. Another video well made

Now we just need Beauty Behind The Madness to complete the series for now

starboy is still the best album the weeknd has realeased. until today i never get tired of the songs from this evergreen album

Man what a video! Thank you Seamus. You basically rounded up everything I love about this album. It's easily one of my all-time favourites. There is not one song on Starboy that I'd consider weak and although they're all quite different from each other, there's a really interesting sense of thematic connectedness that you just rarely see with albums today. I can remember the exact day it dropped and hearing it for the first time like it was yesterday. It was on Black Friday almost five years ago in the London, so the timing of this video is kinda perfect! Man, I've got so many memories from this album aaaahhh! Thank you for triggering the nostalgia!

I love the way you analyse his music

Love ur videos on explaining albums. And Abel’s my fav artist too so yea. Starboy turns 5 next week

Great video

I love this guy i found one of his videos and been watching all day

it’s crazy how i only listened to this album a few months back and only realised then this album was fire. No skip tracks at all. And albums without skips are hard to come by these days. 🔥

Starboy to me is still like a weird in between album for me because I found The Weeknd around the Trilogy era so I was a fan of his darker music but Starboy definitely did have timeless songs especially Die For You. My personal favorites are of course Die For You, True Colors, and Nothing Without You

What a vid!!!!

Im glad I could appreciate the Weeknd in his time my only regret is I didnt listen to his music sooner but theres a lot more to come

Im an og weeknd fan. Been a fan since early 2013 when all he had out was Trilogy but I really love starboy too. Yes it’s more pop. Yes it’s a bit bloated with some skippable tracks but it’s lit, it has some darkness to it, it’s bold and it’s just fun. I went to both phases of the starboy tour and it was a great time to be alive. It’s crazy that this album is 5 years old now. Time flies when you’re having fun. Excellent analysis by the way. Keep them coming. We still need beauty, mdm and trilogy. XO

I don't listen to many albums beginning to end. But I listened to every single song on this album
