While the majority of the Internet was losing its mind over the brand new Houston-rooted, war cry from Beyoncé, the Weeknd (née Abel Tesfaye) announced that he would be release a sophomore LP some time this year called Kiss Land. This is excellent news for his fans, as the majority of his debut LP Trilogy was just a remastered collection of his three free mixtapes that made him so beloved. Tesfaye is still shilling Trilogy, despite the fact that you can grab most of the tunes from it gratis, and will also release a limited press of the album in a 6xLP 500 run. Each copy is signed and hand-numbered with artwork designed by his crew XO and costs $199. It drops on 3/26, but you can order it here now.

A truly terrible album title.
Especially if it is a concept album about some kind of theme park; if it is about being lost at sea, it’s only moderately terrible.
Are you kidding me?? It’s only good if it IS about some kind of theme park!
The cover and the name remind me of Lupe’s “Lasers” in that they both come across as lazy and bored album cover/titles.
I want the vinyl, but I don’t care enough to drop 200 bucks on a signed jewel-encrusted limited edition copy or whatever the hell. I hope he eventually releases a mass run at a reasonable price.
It’s an outrageous price for sure. It is three albums though, which would make a $100 or maybe even a $150 price logical. The autographs/limited run is an easy way to mark it up for more profit. I guess I can’t blame him. 500 x $200 = $100,000
But considering that it’s been two years since “House of Balloons” came out and I’ve been sitting around waiting for the news of a vinyl release, I had to jump on this release. I’m sure there were 499 other people with similar reactions.
The packaging looks neat!
Are there really people out there who are going to drop 200 bucks on vinyl of some mixtapes?
Apparently I can’t read what’s directly above my comment…
That album title is pretty bad though.
