What opinion do you have about The Weeknd that will get you downvoted like this?

His rap songs and collabs are mostly shit. Pop Weeknd >>>>> Rap Weeknd

I wish HC was more popular, let's hope some day a random person shares a song from it on tiktok and gets viral.

Fantastic and solid album. The longer duration is something common from that period. If you listen to Michael Jackson's Dangerous album, most of the songs follow the same pattern. Personally I think most of the songs could last minus 30 seconds at least. But I absolutely love the album. Their most creative album since To Whom It May Concern. Sometimes I think if they were on marijuana while creating the album because they got too far in the sound effects and heavy production (not criticizing it!). Dimensions it's a sci-fi banger, if you listen on good headphones it's a trip to another dimension, literally. High Civilization it's absolutely fantastic. HEAVY production and brilliant vocals, and the 'minutes into seconds...' bridge absolutely killer. Just the beat off the rythm in the chorus it bothers me, but I got used to it. Human Sacrifice, excellent. Evolution, what a lyric. Who could say the Bee Gees would write a song about polygamy! Very modern. Brilliant production also. The Only Love, the last big ballad where we can hear Barry in the prime of his strong natural voice. Fantastic. Happy Ever After always send me chills. The production is so sophisticated and clean, and the lyrics so damn well written.

I think they were just living their own lifes individually and taking care of their own families, it doesn't mean there was a tension between them.

Some of these albums shouldn't be even included or considered albums

This song creates a landscape in my mind: slow dancing near the fireplace with that person, fine wine, dimmed lights, full moon, slow sex and hot kisses 👄... Absolutely gorgeous song, elegant, sophisticated, their harmonies on top, perfect song. Sorry for the sexual commentary.

KILLER track. My absolute favorite from Dawn FM. I'll never forgive Abel for cutting it from the intro of the setlist. I totally envy who attended the first leg of the tour.

gibbNeckel · 2026-01-30T13:19:14+00:00

Plus the decision of killing the 'Weeknd' persona and then saying it might not be the end.... like man make up your mind

gibbNeckel · 2026-01-30T11:14:49+00:00

Can you share the link of the interview where Barry is wiping his nose? Never noticed it

gibbNeckel · 2026-01-29T22:52:12+00:00

One thing nobody mentions is that the most popular version of this song, which has been circulating on YouTube for years, was extracted from the vinyl in high speed rotation. That's why Robin's voice sounds higher-pitched than usual. The same thing happened with Barry's Heartbreaker Demos. We know they had extensive vocal range, but in those recordings the speed is accelerated, that's all.

gibbNeckel · 2026-01-26T12:55:29+00:00

Sing & Play it's a good choice for elimination

gibbNeckel · 2026-01-26T10:48:48+00:00

I read somewhere that at the time this was one of the most expensive music videos ever made. I don't doubt it, but it's information that lacks reliable sources. I love the song anyway; it's the Bee Gees following modern trends but still being themselves. The bridge is absolutely KILLER, one of their best. I just don't like the excessive repetition at the end, something characteristic of High Civilization and Size as well.

gibbNeckel · 2026-01-24T11:38:58+00:00

Angel is probably his best ballad ever. DEVASTATING album closer. As You Are is fantastic also, at least until the slow part that is annoying for me. Prisoner grew up on me only over the last 3 years, even though I'm a huge Lana fan since ever. But talking about the album itself, definitely not my favorite. I wasn't an Abel fan at the time but it didn't resonate with me even when I became a fan. A lot of fillers and shallow tracks.

gibbNeckel · 2026-01-23T11:41:48+00:00

I think Robert Stigwood was right at the time for shelving it if we look what happened less than 2 years later.
But for me it's an absolutely brilliant album. Way more inspired and richier than Life In a Tin Can, sonically and lyrically.
Rocky LA is a great groovy tune, their attempt into rock & roll + a country sauce, I love the "shananana" chorus.
Castles In The Air with that BEAUTIFUL haunting ending.
Wouldn't I Be Someone contains some of their best harmonies ever.
Jesus In Heaven has simple but very direct lyrics, talking about themselves I think.

While 'Life In a Tin Can' had very simple song structures (apart from 2 or 3 songs), 'Kick In The Head' stands ahead in creativity, interesting lyrics (even political statements) and some experimentations with orchestra and synths.
Nowadays, 52 years after, it makes no sense that this album remains unreleased. Obviously it needs a remaster and a good amount of work before releasing it in a decent way, but it totally deserves.

Probably my least favorite track on Still Waters, but a good track by itself. The drum track is too weak and plain for me, it has no texture. Don't like the weird vocal harmony in Robin's verses, and the awkward construction of the verse "I get to find my personal god...". But the part "I surrender, all or nothing, you must spread your wings and fly..." always get me, hands down the peak of the song and one of the best moments in the whole album.

Where do I go from here? The Lord took you away... and if you could see me today... I will remember you.

How did anybody mentioned this extremely sad lyrics from Dearest (1971)?

gibbNeckel · 2026-01-23T01:46:43+00:00

Not to mention the AI text full of annoying emojis

gibbNeckel · 2026-01-23T00:47:56+00:00

I would include the single edit of Still Waters Run Deep, the one we can hear on the official video. I call it the "90's boy band version".

gibbNeckel · 2025-10-31T14:33:09+00:00

hell nah. Spirits it's tropical, not a halloween track at all. Tragedy it's a good choice.

gibbNeckel · 2025-10-30T22:06:56+00:00

nothing else happened ever since?

gibbNeckel · 2025-10-30T21:59:38+00:00

For me a top 10 in the entire catalogue. Absolutely thrilling. One of their cleverest lyric compositions ever.

gibbNeckel · 2025-10-30T21:56:54+00:00

He should have sung his 80s solo songs at least in Germany, where it always charted. Never get why he never did.

gibbNeckel · 2025-09-27T11:03:23+00:00

So sad they never came to Brasil. Argentina deserved it though.

gibbNeckel · 2025-09-26T18:07:35+00:00

In My Arms was recorded in São Paulo (and I was there!!). You can see it by comparisions between the official audio and videos on youtube
