Sidewalks has some awesome Latino vibes ─ the first track I've listened to obviously and it is sensational
 Kendrick is insane on it, the Starboy name drops are great.

It's so much better than his previous effort. Double Lana this time. Shook.

So far the last minute of the song with Kendrick is the only special thing from the whole album.

It's a very solid album and it flows so well from one song into the next! Initial faves are Party Monster, Rockin', Stargirl, Sidewalks and Six Feet Under.

I've only listened once through but I found it pretty dull on the whole. The two Daft Punk tracks are definitely the standouts.
Obsessed with 'I Feel It Coming'. |

This is so so much stronger than his last album, which I wasn't really here for at all. This is great.
08.5 Starboy (feat. Daft Punk) 09.0 Party Monster 09.5 False Alarm 08.0 Reminder 08.0 Rockin' 08.0 Secrets 06.5 True Colors 06.0 Stargirl Interlude (feat. Lana Del Rey) 10.0 Sidewalks (feat. Kendrick Lamar) 09.0 Six Feet Under 08.5 Love To Lay 08.0 A Lonely Night 07.0 Attention 09.5 Ordinary Life 07.5 Nothing Without You 06.0 All I Know (feat. Future) 08.0 Die For You 08.0 I Feel It Coming (feat. Daft Punk) 'Sidewalks', 'Six Feet Under' and 'Ordinary Life' are my favourites tracks that we hadn't heard before now. I do think the whole thing feels too long though. Cut out 'True Colours', 'Stargirl Interlude' (sorry Lana), 'Attention', 'Nothing Without You' and 'All I Know' and you have a much stronger and more concise 13 track album, which really would be totally fantastic from start to finish. |

Rating songs at 8 on average yet still saying it's potentially their fave of the year and that it's great is quite confusing if you ask me oops~
This is so uninteresting and dull on the whole. All of my hope and dreams about this potentially being OK have now withered away completely. imma go back to Echoes of Silence if you don't mind bye~~ |

'Rockin' sounds a lot like Disclosure, I could even imagine Craig David doing that. It sounds like a big potential future single!

Not sure why you felt the need to point it out but I guess The Weeknd still has you pressed, oooooopsss~~~~~~ |

Also it was a first listen rate so an 8.0 for the first listen of a song is pretty strong in my book. I don't give out 10's just for the sake of showing I like something. People are allowed to express the fact they are enjoying this the way they see fit, just in the same way you are allowed to criticise it. |

Agree with this.I feel like Starboy was essentially a "Deluxe Edition" album since it has 18 tracks on it. Maybe a 10-12 tracks Standard Edition, and the rest of the (filler) tracks marketed as the Deluxe Edition bonus track would be much better.

I sort of like the album. I wouldn't want loads more in this style and it is nowhere near as great as the Trilogy mixtapes but you can make a half decent effort if you combine the highs on this with the best of his last one.
