The Review - Top 10 Records of 2015 - #7 Beauty Behind the Madness
Number 7
The Weeknd ‘BEAUTY BEHIND THE MADNESS’
No album, besides the album I have slotted a #1, has a better five song combo to start an album than ‘Beauty Behind the Madness’. Every one of these five songs sound like a single to me and they don’t even include the smash ‘I Can’t Feel My Face’. 2013’s ‘Kiss Land’ felt like the end of the musical experimentation journey The Weeknd had built with his Trilogy mix tapes. Fortunately for everyone, ‘Beauty Behind The Madness’ is not only a comeback; it’s a full on victory parade.
