The Lance Reviews• The Weeknd- Beauty Behind The Madness

Humans, Koalas, Frogs, and other species from all over the world welcome back to this insanely terrible blog :). Today is the 1st episode of The Lance Reviews! The Lance reviews will be where I will review albums! This will most likely be a weekly thing where I will tackle an album and break it down to pieces!!

Today we will be reviewing The Weeknd's new album "Beauty Behind The Madness"! I will break down my favorites, least favorites, and the songs I just don't have an opinion on! Let's get the worst out the way 1st and here are my least favorite songs :)

Least favorites
• Real Life: This song is definitely not a good way to kick off an album!! He seems to be getting away from himself and the drums in the background are just annoying. The chorus is forced and isn't he doesn't pull it off! I have to give credit to some of the verses. I overall am not feeling this song at all... Rate: 4.5-10

• Tell Your Friends: This is definitely the best worst song on the album by a longshot. I'm just saying some of these lyrics are just so generic and unoriginal. And again the chorus in this song is just absolutely horrendous. Other than that the song is lay I guess. Rate: 5-10

• In The Night: Yea.... I'm not feeling this sound at all... Okay Abel? He seems to want to have a new sound with this song and it sounds absolutely terrible! This song was definitely wasn't made for his voice. I would be okay with someone like Jason Derulo singing on this song but I'm not enjoying Abel on it. Rate: 4.5-10

• As You Are: "Imma Need You, Imma Need you, Imma need you". What the heck... Is this? One of these most repetitive songs of 2015 for sure. This song is just making me cringe in every way. Rate: 2-10

In the middle
• Earned It: Everyone knows this song. I didn't really like it that much ever but my Opinion hasn't changed much at all to be honest. It's a decent song that was extremely popular. Enough said. Rate: 5.5-10

• Losers Feat. Labrinth: I'm actually enjoying this one.... Sort of. Like I'm loving a lot of this song! The vocals are just flawless from both Abel and Labrinth. I just don't like the Instrumental part. It's not that dark sound Abel pulls of so well! Rate: 7-10

• Acquainted: This song isn't bad. My initial reaction was trash... But it isn't bad. The Weeknd's voice fits this song perfectly! Overall an okay song. Nothing else to say about it. Rate: 6-10

• Dark Times Feat. Ed Sheeran: This song is actually pretty good. Ed Sheeran fits perfectly with the dark rhythm beat and The Weeknd as usual slays it! A different type of song from Abel but it works. Rate: 7.5-10

Favorites
• Often: This song is just.... Something else. I like it a lot and I think it's the song that kinda started to get people hype for this album! It's got a dark sound with that beautiful voice you just can't go wrong with a often! Rate: 9-10

• The Hills: The Video, The Song, The Greatness (this is Making no sense). This song is a masterpiece... That's why it's a hit on pop stations! This song has started to get radio airplay and I'm extremely happy about it! Abel pulls this song off so well that I just can't.... I LOVE IT! Rate: 10-10

Thank you guys so much for reading the 1st #LanceReviews post and I hope you loved it! I know there were some songs I didn't cover but still... I had nothing to say about them :). Maybe we can get some lyric chain challenges and maybe some other fun popping in the comments section but for now I'm gonna go get some exercise... And as always....
