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

[broncos19dm]

Excited to keep spinning it and digesting the project

 

[ballinsam23]

Three spins in, not feeling it. Not his best work.

Sonically it’s great, but the songs are all skippable and sound like I’m in a Zara fitting room.

 

[cragmatic]

Yeah… this was a major disappointment. Production is enjoyable but nothing that stuck out to me. I can see a few songs growing on me though, Take My Breath did lol.

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

But seriously, is there someone else is undeniable

 

[QU!K]

Doesn’t slap the same during the day as it did during the live listen last night

This album definitely daytime music

Barely any drug references if any, only by Jim Carrey.

Might be his sober album lol

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Treating this as a 5 track deal lol

But them 5 tracks is a vibe

 

[srvballer]

This album sucks

The lyrics are mediocre at best, majority of the songs sound the same, he's singing in a similar tone almost the entire time

I was waiting for a hard beat to drop for an hour and nada....oh and his album covers have progressively gotten worse each project.

Gonna spin HOB and Thursday later to cleanse my ears, consider me strictly an OG Abel fan lol

 

[dontbelikethat]

It’s okay, definitely gonna keep some songs, but I’m definitely a little disappointed after first listen. I didn’t like the features at all, the beginning of their verses throws off the flow of the song. Both features made the song worse off for me.

 

[checks mcgee]

See y’all in a month

 

[Belgium]

Starting my listen now, I strongly prefer his old work up to Kissland but I've generally enjoyed the newer albums.

Gasoline... Nah, that's not for me.

[cragmatic]

1) trilogy
2) kissland
3) after hours
4) dawn FM

And where’s BBTM and Starboy? BBTM was alright to me and I didn’t enjoy Starboy at all. Loved After Hours and I share the same sentiment when it comes to kissland

 

[TrafficLightBully]

Album was ok but man I’m going back to kissland…. That era more my style

 

[QU!K]

I think the litmus test is it better or worse than BBTM? If it’s worse it might be mid.

 

[NCtwin]

And where’s BBTM and Starboy? BBTM was alright to me and I didn’t enjoy Starboy at all. Loved After Hours and I share the same sentiment when it comes to kissland

He said what he said

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Kinda hard to compare it like that. The music is a completely different style. If folks aint into poppy 80's then yeah, they're gonna think lowly of it lol

 

[checks mcgee]

Low key confuses me when people say oh this doesn’t sound like old abel lol of course it doesn’t fam was couch surfing, broke, and scouring the streets for drugs and *****es

Mans is rich with everything at his fingertips now

The sound gonna be different

And where’s BBTM and Starboy? BBTM was alright to me and I didn’t enjoy Starboy at all. Loved After Hours and I share the same sentiment when it comes to kissland

They come after

 

[thekillerj23]

We ever getting soul sample r&b from
Him again or is it going to be all 80’s Zara fitting room music?

Real talk we need that ovo-xo album

 

[Vincent Van Goat]

Seriously. Jokes aside, they need to just settle it and come out with some ****ing music

 

[6pac]

But seriously, is there someone else is undeniable

That’s the one

 

[daruma]

has anyone ever been in zara? i haven't.. so just curious if you guys cappin' or livin' that zara life.

 

[ballinsam23]

I read somewhere “this is the type of music everyone was contracting HIV to in the 80s”
