PlERRE Posted Friday at 10:16 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:16 PM I like it, but all I ear now is We can't be friends mixed with a song by the 1975. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burn Posted Friday at 10:19 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:19 PM I do recall Blinding Lights being completely overlooked when it was first released and then it became such a mega smasha out of nowhere. I wonder if that may be the case with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabandija Posted Friday at 10:25 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:25 PM He's milking the same formula way too much. There's just so many times you can release the same song. I'm sure there are better songs on the album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex21kw Posted Friday at 11:46 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:46 PM I'm kinda surprised by the negative reception here. This is indeed a safe, "if it ain't broken" choice, but there are also several production elements in the song which improve the formula Blinding Lights brought back from the 80s. To me this sounds like a hit. That said I agree the live version was better and I kinda convinced myself the acoustic snippet from the other day would be the outro... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not synth music again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP3 Posted Saturday at 12:11 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:11 AM (edited) 5 hours ago, Relampago. said: Not that it matters but Heartless was the lead to After Hours, not BL I actually wanted him to go down the Heartless route again, I'm a little tired of the pop/synthy sound I even liked The Idol songs too if he wanted to do a "Popular" type of pop song. I'm so not into R&B or trap songs in general, but songs like Heartless and Party Monster are still on repeat on my side Pop/synth songs are so good tho when they are well done but Dancing In the Flames feels uninspired while BL and TMB were so much accomplish Edited Saturday at 12:16 AM by MP3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theluckyone Posted Saturday at 12:13 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:13 AM Hmm this feels like a lousy blinding lights. It's still of course not a bad song, and I love this style for The Weeknd; but it doesn't have the same magic as BL. Wished he did something else for the lead.

Relampago. Posted Saturday at 12:17 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:17 AM Not defending this song but it is funny to see people say they wanted something on BL's level considering how BL was dragged when it came out I'm having such a weird time with this song. Objectively it's just not bad, not great, it's okay to good. I listen to it for about 3 times then it annoys me even though it sounds great on those first three listens. I kinda hope it flops and he rush releases another single quicK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if that may be the case with this. Naur, BL was one of the songs that introduced that retro-80s/disco revival trend, which was a huge part of its appeal. Then that sound got massively overexposed and people moved on. This will pull a mini-Heartless at best, great debut then plummets off the charts.
