Aug 29, 2015The album feels like one sell-out after another. The Weeknd is becoming less unique. This is no surprise but it's sad to see it happen. A few good tracks on here but by far my least favourite of his projects.

Aug 29, 2015THIS ALBUM IS SO GREAT. EVERYTHING ABOUT IT. When an album starts with the song Real Life, you know it is going to be good. The whole 14 song album is so amazing.

Aug 28, 2015From his mixtapes to Kiss Land to Beauty Behind the Madness.. He never fails to make you feel. Although the beats for this album are definitely more "uppity" throughout the album, you can still feel the dark emotions through his lyrics and his delivery of the words. -- He has evolved as an artist and that's just brilliant.

Sep 6, 2015This album is in my top 5 this year for sure. Almost every song from it is perfect, Weeknd proves that he is one of the best artists in music industry. Also "In the Night" is one of the greatest tributes to MJ ever.

Jan 24, 2016First of all a brilliant singer there is no doubting that but the songs just weren't my cup of tea a little bit of a disappointment but The Weeknd's performance made up for it.

Aug 28, 2015Yes, just yes! This 2nd album of The Weeknd it's good as f*ck, he did a incredible work in this album. I'm too glad of this new work, the hard lyrics and the sexual tension in the songs just transport us to another world, a dark, explicit and mysterious world.

Aug 31, 2015Is a great pop album, that's the problem, its POP. His sophomore album has a great vibe and vocally are outstanding, but the lack of lyrically commitment and the poor rnb resemblance. Its a shame,

Sep 19, 2015Hate his pop music, it's kinda sad how he used to be good and then bam! He turned mainstream. This album was plain bad. Sorry Weeknd, but I guess the new fans can replace your old ones. :/

Sep 4, 2015This album is strikingly different from his two previous efforts. The newly explored pop sound could've worked against the Canadian crooner but it works in his favor, showing his immense versatility

Aug 28, 2015One of the best albums that I've heard in the last 3 years. The lyrics can sometimes be confusing, but the confusion is what brings this album magic. From Real Life to Angel, they are all pure gold songs.

Aug 28, 2015Beauty Behind The Madness is a an amazing album, that redefines pop music and breaks through so many barriers that have been placed over the years. The Weeknd is one of the most talented artists with one of the most promising careers out there. He might be the reincarnation of the King of Pop. This album flows so well with out the exception of one song I didn't like (Dark Times) it was perfect.

Sep 22, 2015Many fans will still be happy with the change that Beauty Behind The Madness has brought but some will surely feel the album has nothing to offer except immediate accessibility for the short attention of the mainstream.
-
Sep 10, 2015If the sound has widened and even brightened in spots, the Weeknd still rocks a serious Eeyore vibe for much of Beauty Behind the Madness.

Sep 8, 2015Real Life builds up to a pitch of doomed drama from a corrosive slash of guitar as Tesfaye confides that even his “Mama called me destructive”. But Ed Sheeran fails to rescue him on the tedious Dark Times and Lana Del Rey--who ought to be his perfect partner in pop-noir--adds nothing but a bored spritz of vocal perfume to the lethargic Prisoner.
