have to disagree, much preferred the focus on beats in 'house of balloons' over lyricism on 'thursday'...
still slapping the birds part I & II though, big tunes.

Yeah really only feeling the Birds part I & II off the new mixtape. No where nearly as cohesive as the first imo but that would have been a hard debut to beat.

The first tune, the zone, and the birds part 1 are all pretty good.
other than that it's pretty shit, but then i only really liked 4 tunes from house of balloons so yeah.
more hyped for the new drake album really.

Am I right in thinking this is, at least in part, being produced by Jamie xx?

i've not read or heard that, and i based on what i've heard from his new album i wouldn't have thought so? but who knows, it'd be cool if he was
The Weeknd may be a lot of things, but all we know for sure is that he’s 1) unfit for mainstream, 2) one-of-a-kind, and 3) a monstrous tease.

Pretty much this, Thursday only had a handful of good tunes. Rinsed the fuck out of House of Balloons and Initiation is (I'm going to say it) the best track yet. I really hope this actual dark vibe continues on the next album/tape.
Rumors are that it's out on the 24th, Drakes original album release date before it was delayed

I loved Thursday. Not as good as House of Balloons, but I think people are being a bit harsh on it. Initiation bodes well for the new album though
