level 31 . Last I needed were venausaur and omastar . <| sep |> Mom handled that perfectly <| sep |> I have work in the morning and I don ' t like staying up that late . Much prefer 1 PM or 4 PM games . <| sep |> Your degree has paid off . <| sep |> No , how was it ? <| sep |> Everyone ' s over reacting about a typical save of his . He relies on positioning and always has . <| sep |> It would not , as your journal has already marked you as ineligible as soon as the boss died . <| sep |> Wow , I felt the complete opposite . I felt he really was dialed back into being the weeknd . BBTM felt so forced and rushed , I felt like it was purely a cash grab on earned itto your point about him really feeling into this song , it was actually commissioned by the film 50 shades of grey . I really felt like he touched on his mixtape roots on this one with alot of the songs . In his mixtapes he had alot of french sounding female voices , you see him return to that after two album of almost exclusively leaving it outtrue colors , rockin . He also took a some songs in a new direction that I absolutely loved it . You can tell daft punk played a huge influence on this album , aside from their featured songs rockin , is clearly influenced by them . If MJ had made a song with daft punk , this is what it would sound like . Secrets also has homework era daft punk finger prints all over it . I feel like he went went for the retro electronic vibe on alot of these tracks and absolutely nailed ita lonely night . Lastly , he has his hiphop geared tracks he ' s been running with ever since oftensidwalks , six feet under , all i know . I couldn ' t disagree with you more on the hooks either , alot of them are catchy and exactly what I would expect . I feel it coming , starboy , love to lay , rockin and six feet under are all great examples of this . I don ' t expect more than a handful of songs to to have fun or catchy hooks , I don ' t think that was the point of this album . And to this point False Alarm isn ' t a whole sentence . I mean is that really a point you are using to knock this album ? I would think if you are being that nitpicky about the album you must have a very hard time choosing music to listen to . As a long time weeknd fan , this truly felt like the followup to his mixtapes , while also growing as an artist in a new direction . He has shown that he can evolve and provide some satisfying music for fans all over the spectrum . If you expected just a hiphop album , just a pop album , just an electronic album . you will undoubtedly be let down . But if you listen to this without any boundaries or expectations , then I think you will see it is a great album , maybe even his best . I give this a 8 . 510 , the only 2 tracks I wasnt a fan of being false alarm and stargirl interlude .
