Fuck it. Fine. You win, Abel Tesfaye. After months of dismissing it, I’ve come around to the inevitable conclusion that the Weeknd is awesome and House of Balloons is a creepy, mind-bending masterpiece. It’s one of the most lyrically debauched albums I’ve ever heard, and this might be a turn-off were it not for the angelic soul crooning and chilling beats. Below is the standout “The Morning.”
The Weeknd’s been keeping me busy over at Exclaim! by releasing mitapes with no warning. Such is Abel’s way.
