The Weeknd - Dawn FM (January 7,2022) Album • Page 10

Yeah, wouldn't exactly call the concept "original" but he brings his own tweaks and energy to it. It's executed really well here.

 

The Weeknd pulls it off the best because if I were to turn on a radio right now he’s all they play anyway

 

Vince staples did it better rude

 

I love the way "A Tale By Quincy" does so many things at once. It of course pays homage to MJ and some of his biggest musical influences, but also shows how the Weeknd's darkness and damaged attitude towards women (while make effervescent, dance-y pop music) is centered in a larger, perhaps less present tradition. There's also that pervading sense of regret, consideration, and growth that works really nicely as a complement to the overall album concept of purgatory.

 

After Hours he got hurt and was bloody, Dawn FM he's old and such, maybe the last of the trilogy his character will be dead in the afterlife

 

Or as a baby

 

don't scare me like that

 

I’m dead serious, that’s my theory

 

no I want his last character to be healed and ok and normal beautiful abel

 

denied.

 

He is god next album.

 

Has anyone called the 800 number mentioned in one of the songs? I remember it caught my ear while listening on a run yesterday but don’t remember which song gives the number and thought “it definitely probably leads to a Jim Carey recording or something” but haven’t had time to listen to the record again and write the number down

 

Doing a full listen now, I’ll check it out

Gasoline is such a monster of a track mannnnn

 

This is interesting but I would have never gotten that just from listening to the album lol.

 

People don't like the Lil Wayne feature??? How???

Tyler was the feature that should have been left off, and that's coming from someone who is a way bigger Tyler fan than Wayne or The Weeknd for that matter.

 

It’s like 800-444-4444

 

Its pretty out of place to me. Honestly he didn’t need any rap features on this.

 

The Wayne feature is infectiously catchy and fits the song perfectly, imo. The Tyler feature is fine, but his vocals are so loud & compressed it kinda takes me out of the vibe.

 

Yeah neither are needed but Wayne fits the song more.

 

idk I’m in the camp the Tyler feature fits well and the lil Wayne one is meh

 

Someone wasn't pay any attention whatsoever to what they were listening to, huh?

 

maybe try that nothing nowhere dude, he's pretty white and Christian, so i am sure he doesn't talk about the hoes and billz

 

Some bad pricks in here

 

Don’t be too hard on yourself, kiddo. We’ve all had cliché ridden opinions in the past that we’re not proud of.
