The Weeknd Sounds All Weeknd-ish on “Twenty Eight” (Listen) Posted by Nathan S. on 11/06/12 | Filed under The Weeknd

Yes, it's absolutely true that every Weeknd song sounds essentially the same, and given how much music I've heard from Abel since before we knew his name, by all rights I should be completely tired of this shit.

And yet...I'm just not. It defies easy explanation, but for whatever reason I'm still digging new shit like 'Twenty Eight". My guess is that his music is just so damn good at getting you in the zone, even if you haven't just taken two bottles of qualudes. He's like Juicy J, except with the exact opposite effect.

So I'm sure there will be some people who ask me to never fucking post another Weeknd track again, and I get it, I do. Except, I don't know, I still like this shit, and I know I'm not the only one. It will be fascinating to see how his "Trilogy" album does when it drops next week. I could see that shit flopping, I could see it being huge. Really could go either way.

In the meantime, enjoy (or not)....

p.s. - Obviously a radio rip for now. I'll update with the clean audio asap.
