Aug 29, 2015The album feels like one sell-out after another. The Weeknd is becoming less unique. This is no surprise but it's sad to see it happen. A few good tracks on here but by far my least favourite of his projects.

Jan 24, 2016First of all a brilliant singer there is no doubting that but the songs just weren't my cup of tea a little bit of a disappointment but The Weeknd's performance made up for it.

Feb 26, 2018Don't really know what to think of this .my. It isn’t very lyrically profound. Although it isn’t bad, it just sounds like he was trying To boost his career. Any if his other work is better and I feel if he went a little less mainstream I would’ve liked it more.

Oct 2, 2018"Beauty Behind The Madness" foi uma entrada de The Weeknd para o pop (algo que, honestamente, não me agradou completamente), mas, ainda assim, o cantor continua a mostrar-nos que é um humilde cantor viciado em sexo e em adrenalina com uma voz fantástica que nos lembra do icónico Michael Jackson.

Aug 24, 2022When this came out there was few rnb records that had captured the general public as this on did. A dark rnb pop record that didnt attempt to be accessible but instead to be a testament to the thrill of dark rnb. The features were unexpected but nonetheless good kike ed sheerans verse on Dark Times or Dep rey on the duet Prisoners.

Sep 22, 2015Many fans will still be happy with the change that Beauty Behind The Madness has brought but some will surely feel the album has nothing to offer except immediate accessibility for the short attention of the mainstream.

Sep 10, 2015If the sound has widened and even brightened in spots, the Weeknd still rocks a serious Eeyore vibe for much of Beauty Behind the Madness.

Sep 8, 2015Real Life builds up to a pitch of doomed drama from a corrosive slash of guitar as Tesfaye confides that even his “Mama called me destructive”. But Ed Sheeran fails to rescue him on the tedious Dark Times and Lana Del Rey--who ought to be his perfect partner in pop-noir--adds nothing but a bored spritz of vocal perfume to the lethargic Prisoner.
