    Even at its most oppressive (in particular the songs from House of balloons), every haunted note of Trilogy seems blissful. A compilation of all his best mixtapes is a gift

    Trilogy has some classic-level music on it, but obviously the idea of his three mixtapes coming together is a bit unnecessary. I don't want to listen to many artists for almost 3 straight hours. So while there is great music here, digesting each mixtape, specifically House of Balloons, separately is more worthwhile.

    This kind of remaster campaign is normally reserved for albums that have had decades to sink into the national consciousness as is, introducing a shock-of-the-new, hearing-it-again-for-the-first-time element, and while the oldest of the Trilogy material has only been around for a year and a half or so, the differences in the new mixes can still be jarring.

    Overall, in fact, it might feel like a little too much of The Weeknd all at once. But then again the music is so good it might just be what the doctor ordered.
