Trilogy is compiled of three different mixtape albums that Abel Tesfaye (a.k.a The Weeknd) released throughout 2011. While these albums were recorded in mixtape format in 2011, Trilogy wasn't released in the stores until November 2012--which is why I'm counting it as a new release of 2012, and #5 in my top seven releases of 2012. Equal parts R&B, Trip Hop, and Dubstep, all three albums that make up the Trilogy are compelling. If I had to pick a favorite, it would be the first one, House of Balloons. It's a little edgier, and has my favorite track, "Wicked Games" on it. Trilogy is definitely worth picking up, and while you can download the albums in mixtape format, it's worth picking up the 3 album/cd release of the Trilogy because it is remastered, giving it a crisper sound quality.
