It all worked out in the end for The Weeknd, and Trilogy is beloved by his fans. Trilogy is good, but it might have been great. The three mixtapes could have been trimmed down into one focused yet blurred, drug induced party trip, and it would have been a classic album. My only complaint with Trilogy as a whole, and where I feel Thursday and Echoes… suffer the most is from an abundance of filler songs. Not a bad goal for any day, actually, but The Weeknd showed that he had the absolute talent to make those dreams come true and experience the blinding glow of fame. Recognize any of the names? To think that this incredible trajectory for The Weeknd began with some anonymous YouTube releases and the three mixtapes that built his mysterious persona of star-crossed lover boy who desired to pop pills and have group sex. ![]() The Super Bowl is a stage reserved for international superstars (and their titties). ![]() Fuck the Grammy’s and the other accolades. He was the main act for the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show, which might as well be the benchmark for “made it”. The Weeknd didn’t immediately become a household name after these mixtapes came out, but it earned him a record deal and an opportunity that he has taken the distance. With each of the three pieces of this Trilogy officially in place and in our streaming services and audio devices, and with a decade’s worth of time to give each piece a listen, it’s fair to say that the experiment was a tremendous success.
