House of Balloons (Original)

The Weeknd (2011)

10/ 10

“How was he was only 21 when dropping this is insane. This is a perfect project with not a single miss or questionable song on it. This debut project from The Weeknd shows everything he’s got, incredible vocals, great lyrics and writing and a great ear for what sounds good. The whole vibe and theme of this album is to a T and he never strays away from it, every song matches it. The perfect introduction to The Weeknd Top songs are ‘High For This’ ‘What You Need’ ‘House Of Balloons / Glass Table Girls’ ‘The Morning’ ‘Wicked Games’ ‘The Party & The After Party’ “Coming Down’ ‘Loft Music’ ‘The Knowing’”

LISTENED: 08/16/2025 Honest to God, I look at the release date for this album, and I still don’t believe it. The Weeknd is a time traveler, and this album sounds like a re-awakening for the R&B genre.
