I thought the Weeknd's first album was an absolute masterpiece of music. It's terrific, through and through. After that his radio hits have been really good, but I haven't been compelled to pick up and album after that first one.
Starboy was one of those records that had a time and a place and it dropped right when it should have. It was mechanically and structurally sound and even the track listing was built correctly for the album. It reminds me a lot of Daft Punk's "Random Access Memories" as far as indisputable masterpiece albums go.
On that note, "Random Access Memories" is getting a limited anniversary "Drumless" release on vinyl and CD. I have a solid record collection, but it's becoming too cumbersome - I'll probably order the CD.
