    More deadening than the suffocating arrangements and production or the nonexistent hooks is a tiresome perspective that goes beyond the Weeknd and connects to a celebrated lineage of male authors who assume an inherent profundity in treating a psychosexual crisis of mid-twenties masculinity as miserably as possible.
  2. Ivywild is an unlistenable mess.

It's a shame that the album is so long as there is some filler here that waters down all the fantastic songwriting and production. Had it been pared down to 10 or 11 tracks, this would be a top 5 or 10 album of the 2015 for me. Full Review »
