After releasing a string of incredible mixtapes, some fans were worried that his first studio album would be too commercial.
Downloaded #beautybehindthemadness and have to admit, that while it's got some good songs and features, it just sounds a bit too commercial.

It's also the most MJ sounding record vocally as well. Abel definitely goes in. #beautybehindthemadness

The Weeknd being The Weeknd, the album is of course, NSFW.
This is so good, but very dirty #beautybehindthemadness
