Trilogy, which compiles Canadian artist The Weeknd's three 2011 EPs, reveals the enormity of his achievement: three nine-song suites and three new cuts ('Twenty Eight,' 'Valerie' and 'Till Dawn (Here Comes the Sun)') totaling over two and a half hours. He and producers Doc McKinney and Illangelo nestle references like Siouxsie & the Banshees' 'Happy House' ('House of Balloons') and Michael Jackson's pleading voice ('D.D.,' a cover of MJ's 'Dirty Diana') into erotically charged bedroom R&B inflated to gothic extremes. It's a world driven by animalistic lust and desires.
