I like a few of the songs on the album but I don't understand the monstrous appeal of The Hills at all - it's arguably Abel at his most contrived. What do people love about it?

People loving 'honesty.'

saw this tour last nite, p good his voice still sounds great even in a big arenaevery teen girl around us knew every single word to every song but i guess thats not surprisingminor complaint that he turned glass table girls into kindof a rock song :(

the verses are pretty good, hook feels a little limp compared to "can't feel my face" (though what wouldn't?)
mostly i think it's pretty hard to pick up on any traces of daft punk so i feel like this is mostly a flex on his part and he prob has better shit in the holster
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 22 September 2016 18:58 (eight years ago) link
I like his voice on this but the whole "I'm a muhfuckin starboy" chorus makes him sound so... small, in a mean mugging selfie kind of way. .

i finally decided to listen to "i can't feel my face" for the first timeit's p catchystarboy seems decent, both songs really fancy but he seems like a piece of shit misogynist but i spose that's supposed to be the appeal?

Some sweet wordplay from AbelAbel is introducing us to his sweet new asian girl by bragging about her ability to either drop it low, or go down low (on him). He says “low, mane” to sound like the popular asian dish known as Lo Mein.

there's a track on STARBOY that sounds like luomo

He has the definition of an average voice.

^seriously? the definition of an average voice is like... the dudes that sing in parquet courts.

after "party monster" i was ready to abandon this but "false alarm" kinda flows between bad taste and good taste in a way i find compelling. i mean i guess that's this guy's thing really but it works really well for me when the chorus sounds stolen from a lost bad rabbits song
"reminder" is like... the third song on this album with the exact same phrasing?
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Tuesday, 29 November 2016 12:30 (seven years ago) link
ok it's righted again with "rockin'" which i assume is the track josh thinks sounds like luomo
― who is extremely unqualified to review this pop album (BradNelson), Tuesday, 29 November 2016 12:34 (seven years ago) link
thing is now that *everything* in pop sounds exactly like this the weeknd has lost his one selling point*
* for me, I suspect for much of his fanbase the selling point is that here's a guy who proudly admits he's an asshole through which they can vicariously be an asshole. or teen choice award voters, I guess? (I doubt they're mutually exclusive, too)
