Last night, The Weeknd took to Twitter to reveal that he will be re-releasing House of Balloons, Thursday and Echoes of Silence as a re-mastered package with bonus features sometime this year. Dope! And now that the mixtape trilogy is out there, which is y’all favorite?
House of balloons by far
House of Balloons >> Echoes of Silence >> Thursday
House of Balloons > Thursday >> Echoes of Silence
thursday hands down
thursday>house of balloons>>> echoes
house of balloons i can tell echoes of silence is gna grow on me though thts dope weeknd is doin it tha smarter way glad he looked up to MJ
Echoes, HOB, Thursday
The savior of R&B
Those mixtapes are better than any R&B album put out in a long time
house of balloons was the best one.
cmon bruh dont ask no question like that bruh you takin away from the art when you try to compare em. just enjoy that shit bruh they all classics.
House of Balloons > Thursday >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Echoes of Silence…
House was more of a “fucking you at house party” tape and Thursday was more of “fucking you at the club” tape and the last was one just meh…
i like how his sound is the same yet changes with every project. the one thing i can say for sure is that his lyrics keep getting better and better and they were already good to begin with
Forget which one is the best (HoB tho), isn’t it fucking amazing that he dropped three free mixtapes that aren’t just album-quality but pushing the limits of R&B, all in one year?! Who, of any genre ever can make a claim like that? I mean damn. I’ma buy the re-release though, stoked as FUCK
thursday is my favorite
house of balloons was trippy, thursday is deep emotional and powerful, echoes is soft to me
Echoes could grow on me though… XO is ill. He prolly has the best Definitely coping the album whenever it’s released.. Gotta support my HABISHA brother out!
hob>echoes>thurs. but 4real i like them all. this dude is the future. i been tryn to tell people bout him ever since i heard ” the morning”!

HOB>>Echoes Of Silence>>Thursday
But I love Rolling Stone. I feel like I’m stealing him for not paying. Which is ironic cause I download hella albums that aren’t free.
Habeshas 4 life! lol
And damn Shake. I’ve been on 2dopeboyz for like 3 or 4 years and it still has this “You are posting comments too quickly” issue.
HOB, all great though, this guy is a genius cant wait to see what the album turns out like and what label he’ll sign to
“cmon bruh dont ask no question like that bruh you takin away from the art when you try to compare em.”
i just asked which one was everyone’s favorite. i didn’t ask for some scientific breakdown of each. get that “ohhh you taking away from the art when you ask stuff” shit outta here.
House of Balloons >>>>>> Thursday > Echoes of Silence . HOB just can’t be compared to nothing. It will always be his Thriller. Yeah i said it. get up or get at me @pros2ill
like that they’re getting remastered but DONT like the extra features he’ll be putting on it.
all 3 are great as is. chances are he’ll be letting drake drop some wack bars on his shit or something.
please NO new features.
@shy I doubt that, am sure it’s gonna be mostly changes in the instrumentals & knowing the producers he works with am sure it’s gonna be dope & maybe some minor changes in his vocals
In my opinion… Thursday > Echoes of Silence > House of Balloons. I just can’t get into HoB for some reason.
House of balloons….
Thursday.
Sometime THIS year… or next year…
after hearing all of the over and over again its gotta be House of Balloons>>> Echoes of Silence>> Thursday I mean his HOB mixtape is just to good to deny its not his best one
Thurs > House of Balloons > Echoes. I haven’t properly listened to Echoes but it kinda bored me.
“Sometime THIS year… or next year…”
c’mon bruh… 2011 is over.
HoB is the one album to rule them all haha.
I’m stuck on choosing a winner between Thurz and Echoes though. I’m leaning towards Thurz because of how experimental it is. I felt like Weeknd KNEW he had us hooked off of Ballons so he was in the position to push the envelope a bit to see what he can get away with. Found out, and came back with a much more… listenable (?) album with Echoes. But fuck man- this dude released three genre changing albums in a year. wtf?? Who the fuck does this knee-grow think he is!!! lol
I’m expecting videos. What people don’t realize is that this nigga Abel is putting out audiobooks, this isn’t just music. Each mixtape is telling a different story, that’s all tied into one. His pen game is on another level.
@ Shake lol… 5 days left, had to ask.
shake bruh if u aint never had a warrant out 4 yo arrest i advice you cut that tough guy talk.you not built like that nigga u a bitch.u a lame. fuck you & what you stand 4 i’ll piss on yo daughter u lil bitch ass cracker.fuck the blogs bruh just post a address fuck flexin on the net wit ya bitch ass
fuck you care bout a favorite nigga fuck a favorite suck a dick
lil mac miller soundin bitch get sum bass in yo voice 4 you speak to me
chad is gay | I’m glad he’ll be releasing these so people can buy it. I’m excited. I’m leaning more towards HOB though. That Loft Music is genius.
there all good but house of balloons is def my favorite
HOB…errerday… dey know… OvOxO
hob>echoes>thurs. but 4real i like them all. this dude is the future. i been tryn to tell people bout him ever since i heard ” the morning”!!

yess the morning is the shit
Thursday
Shake’s a fuckin homo! … I can’t take this guy serious after I heard how he sounds on that 2dbz BBQ video LMAO. My guess is, back in high school…Shake could definitely tell you what a wedgie felt like.
HOB. love the morning. Thursday. Echoes. next week echoes may be my favorite though. just need to give it some time. the weeknds a genious
House of Balloons best mixtape
Initiation best song
HOB…every song fckn song on that mixtape was dope
All of these mixtapes are dope.
My preference leans towards Thursday, but I can bump all three equally.
HOB > EOS (Thursday was terrible)
Frank Ocean > The Weeknd (The Dream is irrelevent)
House Of Balloons
Thursday was trash. There was maybe one or two decent songs but 90% of it was pure trash. HoB was ten times better and while I haven´t had the time to listen to EoS yet, I´m sure it´s ten times better than Thursday as well (the Dirty Diana cover is basically better than the whole Thursday project).
^Personally, DD was one of my least favorite tracks (not that it was bad). Outside, XO/The Host (espectially The Host), Same Old Song, The Fall, and Next are where it’s at. Not a big R&B fan typically, but I didn’t have to try to like those.
I agree with chad a trilogy aka “the ballon series” isnt supposed to be compared its actually viewed as 1body of work.

for the people who say Thursday is trash.. you definitely need to go back and re-listen to it, that is if you listened to it in the first place.
^Nope… still God-awful.
House of Balloons > Echoes of Silence > Thursday [nonetheless they should be considered ONE body of work]
…However House of Balloons transcends ALL… after hearing it all, I was convinced that this dude IS a talented/special individual/artist: the best piece of music in 2011… when I heard ‘The Morning’ and ‘Wicked Games’ for the first time shit blew my mind… The Morning is my personal favourite, but I do believe objectively, that Wicked Games is The Weeknd’s best song; writing-wise [coupled with the production] thus far… truly, a talented muhfucka…
Let’s just HOPE he doesn’t get chewed up by the commerical-machine…
