The Weeknd Thread ( "The Dawn FM" OUT NOW)

[C.Magneto]

I guess im in the minority by saying not really feeling this I’ll give it few most listens

Pretty much. I've made the effort to approach it from a few angles and nothing is clicking for me.

Alone Again + Too Late is the best opener to one of his albums since Professional + The Town

Kissland had the god level 5 tracks in a row. Professional, the town, adaptation, love in the sky, and belong to the world

 

[checks mcgee]

Belong to the world is cool

but those 4 tracks in a category of their own

 

[osh kosh bosh]

Great art direction does not a great album make.

Cool photography, great fonts, unfortunately mostly mid music.

 

[Mister Meaner]

Snowchild gives he chills. Faith got too many quotables. But if I OD, I want you to OD right beside me. I want you follow right behind me. I want you to hold me while I'm smiling. While in dying. And if you know me. When I go missing, you know where to find me.


Whole verse fye.

That's undeniable, and will never be topped, but these two opening tracks on AF are fire together

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Been listening heavy, just got back from picking up a to go order in the car

Confirmed what my first impression was: That he isn't singing Singing on this. Vocally, it's not quite there from what we're used to imo. The production on the other hand held up, bringing back KL writer/producer solidified this

There were also a few moments where I felt God level could have occurred but instead fell flat

1. The drop in Faith- when he goes into the distorted voice "I've been sober for a year..." I feel it didn't quite hit its mark sonically. It's almost like a record scratch moment instead of the payoff, sounded/felt way out of place

2. Escape From LA Outro- that whole part was a dope image but the lyricism was lacking imo ("we had sex in the studio"... felt a little corny), that part could have been legendary

I understand those who are saying they're underwhelmed. Ngl, when some of those pop songs come on I don't feel the need to blast the volume in the car

For sure that the 1st 2 tracks on AH is I love this album. Abel delievered. Not a skippable track to me at all

Hardest To Love was an IMMEDIATE skip in the car.

 

[Ingenious Bastard]

I definitely was blasting a couple of these in the whip today. Alone Again and Snowchild hit different on a highway.

Sheeeeesh.

 

[headdetective]

SNOWCHILD DIFFERENT

 

[jc619er]

This album goes for me. Been listening nonstop the last two days. I can see where people are turned off by the pop songs but the album bangs. Cannot wait for a really nice night in the future to bump this full blast windows down.

 

[murkn3m]

Playing kissland right now, man..... after hours Is good but kissland is always his best work

I said the same thing!!

 

[pitman13]

"Alone Again" on repeat

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

If he never pre released Heartless, the

Snowchild
Escape from LA
Heartless
Faith

run would have hit differently imo. Wish I never heard Heartless ahead of time

I don't blame ya, it's too difficult to hold out. If we held out on After Hours the

Repeat after me
After Hours
Until I bleed out

Would be also nice as hell

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Glad I only listened to heartless one time.

Some of these tracks definitely made for driving at night

[tay1]

Whoever worked on Alone Again fixed the mix. It sounds much clearer

 

[broncos19dm]

You don't have to cry, girl, let me wipe your eyes
Your eyes, your eyes, your eyes

 

[checks mcgee]

Caved and copped the baby milo tee in white

way too expensive but I’ll look at as a collectors piece
