The Weeknd - Starboy (November 25, 2016) Album • Page 28

Why does everyone sleep on/dislike Esco Terrestrial? Imo it's a fairly solid, fun tape.

 

its pretty clearly a ton of throwaways, only a small amount of songs live up to future's best

 

The collabs on it are all good but I never got into the Future solo tracks.

 

Benjamin's Burn and Married to the Game are both essential Future tracks

 

True enough. I think it might have something to do with the fact that I only played it for like three days when it initially came out. Also I like Drake on there more than I like him on Views.

 

Benjamin's is the only one that caught on with me.

 

check on me is my keeper from that tape

 

So, to recap for someone who wants to get more into Future (myself), the essential must-listen projects are:

Albums:
Pluto
Honest
DS2

Mixtapes:
Monster
Beast Mode
56 Nights
Purple Reign

More or less??

 

I don't think they're clearly throwaways. Might not be his best, but I think most of it's at least as on par with most of the rest of his stuff... and Esco's production is enjoyable, imo.

 

Disagree. I think the fact it came and went without much fanfare along with the scattershot compilation feel of it makes it clear it's just a clearing of house before his next project

 

I would add EVOL

 

We agree there!

 

Fair enough. I think the compilation feel took away from it. I removed all the non-Future songs from my playlist and I think it's much more cohesive and works better as a whole that way. Nonetheless, I still think there are some quality songs on the tape, but just my opinion.

edit: Curious, how do you feel about the new EP with Gucci?

 

Would you guys say chronological order is the best way to listen to all of these? I've only heard DS2 and EVOL in full before, but I like everything I've heard from the other projects.

Actually I think a friend and I listened to Purple Reign when it came out but I was too stoned to remember much of it lol

 

Actually I don't even think I got around to listening to EVOL in full... so yeah, almost all of these will be mostly new for me.

 

@sophos34 would probably know better than me. I need to dive further into his older stuff. I've listened to it all, but EVOL is what got me interested, then I went back to DS2 and got hooked. Then 56 Night and PR solidified me as a Future fan.

 

Pluto and then chronological is pretty much the only order that makes any sense.

 

yep

 

Awesome. Will post my thoughts in the Future thread once I've gotten into it... I'm in finals week so won't have a ton of time now but I'm excited to dive in.

 

production on this is very very very good. love the stretch of false alarm through secrets

 

The Weeknd: ‘Drugs were a crutch for me’

 

This album and 24K magic are discussed in the latest popcast

 

Someone said this in the thread a while back, but I really can't listen to False Alarm without picturing BigQuint doing his aerobics

 

Baby, show me you're a keyboard

 

Somebody on Reddit said the hook sounded like something Jack Black would sing and now I can't get that out of my head
