@Jon, me too. We’ve been bumping his mixtapes for a while now. I’d like an albums worth of new material, not three tracks. I won’t be buying that’s for sure.

@Jon, I understand that, but remember this. The Weeknd put out 27 songs FOR FREE in a year. The least that can be done put a little money into that hard work.

Fan or not, who really wants to buy an album full of songs they’ve already heard?

@Kalin, exactly and more than likely, already own. It’s hard enough to sell NEW MATERIAL in this market. Who’s really going to purchase songs that has been given away for free a while ago? Sadly this will flop and I’m a fan :-/

I rather him just remaster the entire House Of Balloons mixtape and put on like 6 new songs

House Of Balloons = classic/masterpiece
Thursday = Boring
Echoes Of Silence = Good but nothing amazing.

Well we can say that about miguel album we heard 9 of the tracks before he released the complete album so only 2 or 3 new songs but we buy it as its fantastic deserved quality album! I support quality rnb music like Miguel, the weeknd and frank ocean who have changed the genre of rnb music to be fresh again!

I hope he picks the right songs for the trilogy I would pick High For This, The Birds, Wicked Games, Rolling Stone, The Zone w Drake, The Morning, House of Ballons, Montreal, Next, Outside and Same Old Song although he should reall be looking to work on an album next year with new tracks

THing is his fan base is big but after this drops will get much bigger as some people still don’t no who he is just the guy that sang Crew Love on Drakes album so I think this release will set up the album relase next year perfectly

even though I heard these songs already, I’ll still support and buy the album. he is talented and he deserves the support. what he and Miguel are doing with their releases are similar if you think about it. I like his video for rolling stone as well.
