I’ve only heard the abyss so far (will listen to the rest on my way to work) but I am so hyped, it makes me think of his concert I went to which was amazing, and of his career, and all his good tracks… aah, I’ll miss The Weeknd but I think he’s right about that he’s done everything he can with this moniker now!

The alternate track listing for the "first pressing" version is: "Without Warning", "Cry for Me", "São Paulo", "How It Feels", "Take Me Back to LA", "The Abyss", "Open Hearts", "Timeless", "Give Me Mercy", "Runaway", and "Red Terror"

 

according to wikipedia. idk, maybe it's wrong because hhv had a different tracklist

thanks!!

 

 

Sao Paulo worked for me on the album!! I have shivers, damn it 

I didn't get to the middle, but I'm thrilled. Completely.

Funniest comment I've read about the cover:

 

He's having explosive diarrhoea on that cover.

 

It's true that the previous version was cooler.

I don’t like when artists remove singles from albums…like stand by your work

Perhaps he did it out of respect for the victims of the LA wildfires.

Wouldn’t that be too close to the release date to change?

Lana should have a verse in Take Me Back To LA

Same, I was so disappointed when I heard the single the first time but it kinda mixes well into the tracklist on the album??

DITF was supposed to be between Give Me Mercy and Drive. I feel it

Open Hearts sounds like it could be played a lot on radio here. I wonder what Universal will push to the radio stations next.

Open hearts is the next single 1000000%. It's the only Max Martin produced track and a surefire Billboard #1 hit.

I listened to the record in full and thought Open Hearts was by far the best track on the record. Then I checked the credits and went "oh, that's why." The guy is a genius and rarely makes mistakes.

This is his best album 

 

And in my opinion, one of the best pop music albums now 

 

Thank you all for this pre-release thread, It's a worthwhile experience!! Have fun listening, you should be hooked on something in this album

Lana didn’t need a verse to abs DELIVER

[Let the Light In 19,124]

Apparently, the CD version has 2 additional songs (runaway, how it feels), and some track names were changed.
