Just sounds so much like they're trying to appeal to a new wave of hipsters to me.
i guess it worked, too.

i can see why someone would give this a 4.5, but an instant classic? it lacks the killer instinct

necessary to be a 5...

it's just slowed down so it sounds all drugged out and shiz, like the first version of the morning if you've heard it

this is totally 5 worthy if you ask me. albums that rack up hundreds of plays in a matter of a few days rarely turn out to not be awesome

I agree with Snipe. It's not a 5 for me, at least not yet, but I could see why someone would give it a 5. This is probably moving up to being my AOTY so far. I said I liked Frank Ocean better, but I think this is passing up both him and Raekwon.

don't get me wrong, 4 = excellent. when it comes to the grand scheme of rnb though this is instantly

amongst the best ever? if it spawns a movement maybe it'll be bumped up, but right now i really don't

see it

I think we can all agree that it's pretty amazing though, whether you give it a 4, 4.5, or a 5. Doesn't matter really.

if the screwed version is that different (/ worth it), someone should give the weeknd another album and label it as such, no?

Every album that I've heard that has been "chopped and screwed" has been so bad. That shit is horrible.

i could probably listen to the screwed version if i was on some szyrup or something and feelin' like a zombie, but really i think the regular tracks are pretty much perfect.
