Second studio album by the Canadian recording artist. Debuting at #1 in the UK Albums Chart, the album features the singles 'The Hills' and 'Can't Feel My Face'. Review: 105. The Weeknd's beautiful madness - If the publicity garnered is in any way indicative of an artist's relevance and success, then The Weeknd will soon become a household name. Following on from his No. 1 smash "Can't feel my face", and recent blazing - literally - performance at the VMAs, The Weeknd presents "Beauty behind the madness". Evidently, it is not only his most accessible set so far, but, also, a compelling crossover album. Sonically, it is a much bigger departure from his past work than most of his older fanbase would like it to be. Abel Tesfaye (real name), not the same self-destructive, depressed 20 year-old anymore, but now in a better place, is true to himself and remains consistent. The material is raw and honest, the production always on point, the lyrics still dark and cynical, the delivery mesmerising and haunting as ever. With many references to his previous work, this is hardly the watered-down generic pop album all those negative comments over the internet are speculating. Real artists are supposed not to ever sit stagnant. No legendary artist made music that sounded the same. The Weeknd is experimenting, expanding, opening himself to a new demographic. It is all about progress. He is, also, trying to become monumental. He sure has all it takes to become a contemporary megastar. In fact, with this very record he gives traditional pop a foundational makeover, one that has not happened since the times of Prince and Michael Jackson! His sound is radically different; but his message has not changed, only the way it is delivered. Still suicidal, sassy, sensual and scandalous, but always seductive and startling, The Weeknd's "Beauty..." looks set to soar. Review: Amazing - Perfect condition, good quality

105. The Weeknd's beautiful madness

bought for 'I cant feel my face'
Love 'i cant feel my face' so got this CD. Even though its 2nd hand its in reasonably good order. The delivery was quick and was in a jiffy bag. The whole CD is growing on me, its pretty good. Glad I bought this, originally it was just for 1 song but Ive grown to like it all. Would say to try it out.

Brilliant....a fantastic talent.
Absolutely love this guys voice and music. I only discovered him last year and brought all his albums. You can just sit with your eyes closed and the music and voice takes you away, or in the car it is a joy to have on. My husband was a bit sceptical when I first put his music on as I do have very varied taste but he loves it just as much as I do. This album is superb, the Earned It song from Fifty Shades was a taster of what was to come.

... last album (Kissland) 'in error' I was more than happy to keep it and come back for this one ...
Having bought his last album (Kissland) 'in error' I was more than happy to keep it and come back for this one (advert persuasion sent me looking for this one in the first place) This album has great beat to it, every song effortlessly stunning. Listening to this album you get lost in your own world. Gorgeous music. NB Not to be listened to with kids around - keep this one all to yourself!

Brilliant album
I already own this on Spotify, but as I do not have an aux connection in my car, I just had to grab it on CD. I enjoyed the less popular Trilogy (first 3CD album The Weeknd released I believe), but this album exceeds all expectations. The whole album is sensational, not just the singles that have been released on the radio.

Very good gifts and both CDs are just
Bought a second copy of this album, as I did with The Weeknd's latest album "Starboy"! Very good gifts and both CDs are just...I can't stop listening to them!! Especially "Starboy", which - for me personally - rivals the quality of albums like M.J.'s "Thriller", 'Bruno Mars' "Unorthodox Jukebox" & even Maitre Gims' 2CD "Subliminal/La Face Cachée", amongst others...! But "Beauty Behind The Madness" is where the real greatness of The Weeknd actually begins, for me, at least!

Als Fan musste auch diese Platte gekauft werden
Als Fan von The Weeknd, habe ich mich dazu entschlossen auch die eine oder andere Vinyl in die Wohnung zu hängen. Da diese Platte schon ein wenig älter ist, aber sehr gute Songs enthält, kam ich um einen Kauf nicht herum. ➡️Ersteindruck: Die Platte wird nicht mehr so häufig zu finden sein, sodass ich meine aus den USA zugeschickt bekommen habe. Die Lieferung war für diese sehr große Distanz extrem schnell und sie kam völlig unbeschadet auch bei mir an. Da meine Platten nie die Folie verlassen werden, kann ich nur von der Aufmachung berichten und ihr bekommt wirklich eine schöne Vinyl, die man gut ausstellen kann. ➡️Songs: Diese LP stammt noch ein wenig von vor dem Start von dem Hype, der um diesen Künstler losgetreten wurde. Auf der LP sind viele Songs, die zu seinen aktuellen Songs nicht vergleichbar sind. Gerade die RNB Songs werden hier viele Hörer finden. Auch recht unbekannte Songs, die nicht im Radio gespielt wurden, zeigen, wie gut dieser Künstler wirklich ist. ➡️Fazit: Als Fan dieses Künstlers für mich ein Must-Have für jeden Platten-Sammler. Gerade, weil sie nicht mehr so einfach, bzw. nur zu sehr hohen Preisen bestellbar ist. Da es sich noch um eine "Sonderedition" handelt, wird man ggf. auch als Geldanlage ein wertvolles Stück bestellen können. Die Musik ist perfekt und noch anders, als die aktuellen Songs.
