I’m still on the fence of gasoline, my only other complaint is I wish Abel took “Every Angel is Terrifying” somewhere else, the production on that was insane
I relate to Abel a lot (besides being rich) also as a new fan this was my first Weeknd project that I listened to all the way through and I was impressed ( I mostly stick with rap/hiphop)
you should definitely listen to trilogy to see which style you prefer. Trilogy is his most praised work from his core fans, but he keeps evolving and improving his artistry every time
@@melosivitch I've listened to all of his works and I think Kiss Land is slightly better than Trilogy but that's mainly bc I love the song Tears in the Rain so much. Overall tho all of his music is so amazing and chock full of hits and classics.
@@rajmandalam6506 Kiss Land is incredible too... never gets recognition. Tears in the Rain, Pretty, Adaptation, Kiss Land, Belong to the World, etc... the list goes on. Some of his best transitions, atmosphere, and lyrics are on that album. Deserves way more recognition.
My biggest complaint is didn’t find any huge hits that The Weeknd usually has on his albums (Blinding Lights, The Hills etc.). I wonder if I’m just missing something.
Really disappointed me on first listen, but I really like it after a few more listens. I’ve had Sacrifice on loop all day, it’s really the only thing keeping me happy today 😂
People listen to the album once and say it’s mid, take time and let the music sit with you. Your opinion may change later. I’ll say this though, I love the overall experience of the album. He did a good job of tying each song together which makes it feel very cohesive.
Dawn FM is a collection of love poems from Old Age Abel to a Female Caretaker in the Old Age Home. Firstly this album is a fucking masterpiece!!! Secondly I’ve realized that the whole concept of the project is a relationship between old abel and a female presences who seems to be a caretaker
Yes!!! It's him essentially warning his younger self to slow down with the fame and everything that comes with is (the rush). Also admitting regrets and telling his younger self to do better. Jumping back, older self is stuck in Purgatory and he has to review all his mistakes. It's phenomenal when you know how it pieces together.
@@shakaj1525 Bro just look at the track list. Gasoline gave it away from me. It’s clearly about an old drugged up man in an old age home presumably with a budding relationship with someone else. Then we get HOW DO I MAKE YOU LOVE ME, SACRIFICES, OUT OF TIME. Bro the titles are telling a story of its own. In BEST FRIENDS the caretaker says she’ll agree to have sex with old abel but he better not catch feelings which he already has. Abel then asks Is There Someone Else as he feels the relationship is fading. He then pleads with her Don’t Break My Heart. Then Abel’s finds out in Heard You’re Married that there is someone else and he says he hates that he has to share her. Then He concludes that he knows he’ll never be enough for her in Less Than Zero This album is a musical journey😭😭
Literally the only track I wasn't a fan of was the second track but HOLY SHIT this just goes to show Abel's ability to push boundaries cannot go unnoticed.
Honestly I didn’t enjoy the album that much, to me it was too bland, everything sound like something of of after hours, but in a bit of darker way, and personally It just feels too dark for the mainstream, but also not dark enough for people like me who enjoys stuff that the mainstream doesn’t like, so yeah I’m not going to be listening to this album beyond January, but it’s in no way a bad album, just not for me
Dawn FM is The Weeknd's older self essentially warning his younger self to slow down with the fame and everything that comes with is (the rush). Also admitting regrets and telling his younger self to do better. Jumping back, older self is stuck in Purgatory and he has to review all his mistakes. It's phenomenal when you know how it pieces together. The more you listen, the clearer it becomes. It's crazy how this mimics how After Hours was initially viewed versus how it was later understood throughout the week.
I hthink all of the music videos are gonna show the younger version of him growing older in the space between life and the afterlife, it’ll be like a loop we’re the younger version ignores the older one
- that’s not it, basically in short imagine you are dead going to heaven in a car and the radio is playing this station and it narrates a story of regrets and failures and in the end Jim tells you how to transition to heaven. Even The Weeknd said this.
@@trilljj Yeah, I think my opinion still stands of the message on the radio itself. And yeas I agree with you, I had that same opinion at first. I'm still trying to put it into perspective. Usually the end of each song is exactly what your theory is saying and then when the song play, you hear abel's lice experiences. Btw do you think the next album is Afterlife? It was mentioned a lot (on the radio) about "the Afterlife"
I enjoyed this album I had high expectations and it is solid. The production on this album was almost perfect and his vocals were very good. Imo i preferred after hours but this is still a very good album
Yeah you probably prefer After Hours cuz it’s way better 😂 However I’m really enjoying Dawn FM too, but it’s hard for me to compare anything to After Hours
@@phillippoggi8080 Both with the weeknd he always is looking for the best producers, Kavinsky, Daft Punk, Gesaffelstein and now OPN. Name 4 better producers and Ill die waiting
If the music videos and the short film will be as good as during AH it's on par or even better than AH for me. First Listen during the stream was a bit weird but DAMN, second listen was absolutely insane. Unbelievable that he created something competing with AH.
The influences by Michael Jackson and Daft Punk are palpable all throughout the album and the production was so on point. He is always looking for ways to improve, there's no artist like him.
This album was great. After the first listen I just thought it was pretty good but once I listened to it the second time I thought it was great. It’s definitely gonna grow on people as they listen to it more
I can see why Abel took so long with this album he wants to make you feel like your tuning into a radio station and it feels like one big song with all the dope transitions it’s just so good
Album is amazing and The Weeknd completely destroyed that song with Tyler. Tyler wasn’t that special on it but The Weeknd’s part on that song was great.
this album is the weeknds most innovative and creative album yet, the sound and theme of the album were executed almost perfectly. Imo i still prefer after hours but this album was an amazing follow up.
An album that every song grows more you listen, listen to it a few times. So many bangers. I think its tighter, and more matured than After Hours songwriting wise.
I said this in another comment but this album was such an amazing listen all the way through. May favorite song is definitely out of time. Wow. the lyrics on that song and the beats and music is just so smooth. On a side note, as a huge fan of daft punk, I wish they hadn’t broke up because this music is right up their alley and I think daft punk would’ve made such an incredible feature or production. Just a thought. But overall and absolutely outstanding album
I agree would've been great to hear Daft Punk on this album. Starboy & I Feel It Coming have amazing production! But there's many tracks on DawnFM comparable tbh
Absolutely incredible to see his growth over the years. This album is the perfect follow up to After Hours and the best way to start the year, another great review from the boys🌅
The concept of this album reminded me a lot of Queens of the Stone Age- Songs for the Deaf, with all the songs being set on the radio. But this album went much deeper in message and philosophy.
This album felt like riding a car through space as your radio turns into the ghost of the weeknd singing to you in the passenger seat as your adventure continues
Such a cohesive experience that inflicts the right emotions through immaculate production and intricate and provoking concepts. Amazing. Also I’m looking forward to a possible third part of what seems like a death;ignorance/purgatory;acceptance/heaven trilogy
It is not growing on my with all honesty. I think it is getting positive reviews due to the recency hype bias, but in the long run it will be a forgotten album... 4/10 for me (not trying to offend anyone, just my opinion)
Production as amazing is such a sell-out. Recycled synths on 4 tracks completely ruins this album for me same for it's re-playability. Expected much more from Abel and I'm terribly disappointed.
I seriously don't think any other artist is going to be able to top this masterpiece!!! Max Martin and Swedish House Mafia are legends and perfectionists so I knew the production was going to be flawless!! And his smooth flawless transitions into the next song. This album is to help you evolve to our full Pneuma!! This is beyond perfection!!!
I agree with everything you guys said in this video as the review… expect for the production. You guys praised the production so much and then rated it amazing instead of perfect and that was both of your guys favourite part or feeling of the album. Other than that. This album is truly solid. Can’t wait to see where else he goes with this and his future performances.
Damn, seeing this comments makes me feel bad...been a fan even before Trilogy was Trilogy but for me this ain't it. Only song I enjoy is "Is there someone else?". This is not the one (for me).
My question after listening to this album is, is this considered something of a sister album to After Hours, or perhaps is there a third album after this that creates a perfect trilogy? Edit: Literally the next day after making this comment Abel announced this was a trilogy.
Third album is coming it's a part of trilogy (Abel confirmed it) After hours is part one mortal state Dawn fm is purgatory And maybe in 3rd he will go heaven or well After life might be the name of third on (rumours)
My favorite vocal performances on this album were in Every Angel is Terrifying and Phantom Regret by Jim and I wish they were developed into actual tracks because his vocals were incredible on those
Still early but this is my favorite project from the weekend IMO his best work. Amazing production, vocals, concept, it really had it all great way to start the year now we just need the Kendrick drop
The features weren’t great. Lil Wayne and Tyler were mid. Jim Carey was a nice edition. I could only replay this album as an entirety I don’t think I could listen to one of these songs by themselves apart from take my breath. Production was incredible though
you music reviewers have influence over your listeners. y’all gotta start giving the weeknd his flowers as one of the greatest and most talented artists to ever walk this planet along with having basically a perfect catelog in comparison to some of the other best catelogs ever. i’m every aspect of music making you can be good at. the weeknd is not only phenomenal but leagues and bounds ahead of almost every artist and the only artists that do certain things better lack in other things that the weeknd happens to be phenomenal at. consistency great at every. writing on the level as some of the best hophop writers ever with one of the best and most distinguishable voices in the industry
i say this because not enough people are acknowledging how this dude is basically undistputedly on the mount rushmore of music in general all genres. and if anyone wants to argue i promise the weeknd can clear anyone when you talk about EVERYTHING they bring to the table. even people like kanye mj and prince
I have the album on repeat! Only thing I’m disappointed is “Every Angel is Terrifying” not being an actual song. The intro with those vocals is MAGIC. I would’ve loved a song followed by it.
It was a dope play through the first time, I already love Gasoline, How do I make you love me, Don’t break my heart! 🔥🔥🔥 so just having those lets me know when I listen to it all the way thru again, it’s gonna be dope prolly💯💯
Amazing review! I totally agree!! The song that may stand out for mainstream could be less than zero and out of time🔥🔥🔥 This stadium tour will be selling out crazy and I can’t wait to go!!! LETS GO XO
Do you guys have a public playlist so the fans can listen to what yall are listening to? Would be pretty cool, like a Nfr spotify account for playlist and songs
I think the features were picked perfectly because Tyler and Wayne are both EXCELLENT story tellers of this generation. I think the only thing missing was Kendrick Lamar, but honestly, that would be a little too expected and redundant.
My review to this album… I gotta say, it is so good! It’s definitely not After Hours for sure but I don’t think Abel was trying to compete with that particular album. I believe that this album can stand on its own two feet without comparisons being played into it. It has some really good songs and some mediocre ones (like any album). Some song’s endings have such beautiful flow and connectivity between songs that it makes you want to listen to the next tune in the album. I also thoroughly enjoyed the featured guests in the album. They all played incredible roles in creating this masterpiece. Jim Carrey being the “HOST” of the radio station, DAWN FM, was a really unique inquiry to the album and added a sense of realism as if you were listening to an actual radio broadcast. Overalll, a very beautiful, unique and intriguing album by The Weekend. It’s been a long while since I’ve been able to resonate with an album and I feel like this album defines my last 2 years perfectly well.
Was After Hours really that amazing?? I'm definitely not saying it's bad but I feel like Dawn FM definitely matches After Hours in terms of quality and I think both albums are prob tied for 3rd best behind Kiss Land and Trilogy
The features didn’t really hit…. Tyler was just a waste. Wayne was good but if it wasn’t there it would have been fine. Quincy just didn’t make sense to me… I mean it did I guess but idk… Jim was amazing!

i love how it does an incredible way of mimicking an actual radio station. This is an album to last a decade.
Yeah the vibe was spot on, felt like I was floating in some of the songs.
One of The Weeknd’s best in your opinion?
@@NFRPodcast def top 5, better than bbtm in my opinion so yeah i guess so
No lie. This is a classic. th-cam.com/video/pWSvEFvH47k/w-d-xo.html
@@NFRPodcastoh definitely, not a pass at his older stuff as that is still great but the after hours and dawn fm run is the best in this decade.
I’m still on the fence of gasoline, my only other complaint is I wish Abel took “Every Angel is Terrifying” somewhere else, the production on that was insane
What has you on the fence about Gasoline? 🤔 one of our favorites!
@@NFRPodcast definitely the voice affect
@@juancarlosb9781 haha same it ruined the song completely
@@nileriver i love it lol
@@nileriver it reminded me of Depeche Mode a bit.
Great review, can really tell you listened to this album deeply, another classic album IMO, gonna age very well
Loved the album, has continued to grow on me. Especially with the production and messages.

3 months later and it got even better
Here we go again -> best friends -> is there someone else is one of the greatest sequences in an album I’ve ever heard
Shit you can even throw Starry Eyed in there
My biggest complaint is didn’t find any huge hits that The Weeknd usually has on his albums (Blinding Lights, The Hills etc.). I wonder if I’m just missing something.
Finally an album I’m not disappointed by
Really disappointed me on first listen, but I really like it after a few more listens. I’ve had Sacrifice on loop all day, it’s really the only thing keeping me happy today 😂
Is there someone else is the best song on the entire album
In my opinion, "less than zero" is the best song in the album by far.
@@jameshaskell2723 I agree actually, I was just already having a bad day, that would’ve made it worse for me 😂 Sacrifice is the best dancey song
@@Wolfforthetrolls I wouldn’t say it is, but my favorite isn’t actually Sacrifice, it’s Less Than Zero

i liked this album. Very different sounding from abel but it has groovy beats and the songs were pretty good
Y’all tripping, Wayne verse was fire af
Lets go!
Hope you enjoyed!
I was massively disappointed by this, didn’t keep a single song cuz they all blended together
DAWN FM is probably one of the greatest albums ever put out. THRILLER LEVEL.

Appreciate you Tommy🙏
This album was amazing, absolutely transcendent feeling while listening. I loved it, really fucked with it, no skips.
Album is amazing and The Weeknd completely destroyed that song with Tyler. Tyler wasn’t that special on it but The Weeknd’s part on that song was great.
the album is so good, I love how he made it sound like an actual radio station.
Gasoline is a master piece! Can’t believe he did actually did that. Blew me away!
this album is the weeknds most innovative and creative album yet, the sound and theme of the album were executed almost perfectly. Imo i still prefer after hours but this album was an amazing follow up.
Nothing innovative on this album whatsover. A bunch of generic radio disco songs ripped straight from the 80s.
An album that every song grows more you listen, listen to it a few times. So many bangers. I think its tighter, and more matured than After Hours songwriting wise.
incredible album, amazing production, the Weeknd definitely delivered
the features were unnecessary apart for Jim Carrey
8.5-9/10 for sure

Is gasoline a reference to 80s bands like Depeche Mode, New Order etc
Def sounds similar. Dope asf since I grew up with those bands because of my parents
not his best and not his worst album so happy it droped couldn't wait another day
I think it’s about 3rd maybe 4th in his discography but that’s just because his discography is so amazing
Starboy is his best work. Followed by Beauty Behind The Madness
@@ZCB_ I got trilogy first followed by after hours.
AOTY for now!
What is The Weeknd's worst album??
love your guys’ reviews. Always high quality and right after the release. Good shit , y’all are def my favorite music content creators

His voice is really powerful! Glad you liked it
Such a cohesive experience that inflicts the right emotions through immaculate production and intricate and provoking concepts. Amazing.

@@prayagkaurav5856 either that or heaven or Las Vegas
@@kelllsss2534 I'd be interested to see if the third albums ends in a way to where it circles back into After Hours. So the entire trilogy is a loop.
After 1 Week i have to say that this might be better than After Hours. Atleast its like Crack or something, i have to Listen to it. So addicted
My favorite vocal performances on this album were in Every Angel is Terrifying and Phantom Regret by Jim and I wish they were developed into actual tracks because his vocals were incredible on those
Still early but this is my favorite project from the weekend IMO his best work. Amazing production, vocals, concept, it really had it all great way to start the year now we just need the Kendrick drop
Such an awesome review! This podcast is insane and unmatched.
❤️❤️
After hours > Dawn FM
It was trash, let’s be honest.
Ayyy you guys used to bump Swedish House Mafia! I feel related to lol
This album is truly an incredible way to start the new year with. I think this album is 🔥🔥
the weeknd discography ranking?!?!
The features weren’t great. Lil Wayne and Tyler were mid. Jim Carey was a nice edition. I could only replay this album as an entirety I don’t think I could listen to one of these songs by themselves apart from take my breath. Production was incredible though
What ? Gasoline and sacrifice are grooves
you music reviewers have influence over your listeners. y’all gotta start giving the weeknd his flowers as one of the greatest and most talented artists to ever walk this planet along with having basically a perfect catelog in comparison to some of the other best catelogs ever. i’m every aspect of music making you can be good at. the weeknd is not only phenomenal but leagues and bounds ahead of almost every artist and the only artists that do certain things better lack in other things that the weeknd happens to be phenomenal at. consistency great at every. writing on the level as some of the best hophop writers ever with one of the best and most distinguishable voices in the industry

I have the album on repeat! Only thing I’m disappointed is “Every Angel is Terrifying” not being an actual song. The intro with those vocals is MAGIC. I would’ve loved a song followed by it.
It was a dope play through the first time, I already love Gasoline, How do I make you love me, Don’t break my heart! 🔥🔥🔥 so just having those lets me know when I listen to it all the way thru again, it’s gonna be dope prolly💯💯
After Hours > Dawn FM
But incredible great album
His pitch on gasoline reminds me of Freddie Mercury
That’s a really good take!
The best thing about the Weeknd is he will release the music videos for span of the year and maybe some remixes like he did for after hours
And during the after hours era suddenly decided to release the try me video for some reason lol
Amazing review! I totally agree!! The song that may stand out for mainstream could be less than zero and out of time🔥🔥🔥 This stadium tour will be selling out crazy and I can’t wait to go!!! LETS GO XO
Do you guys have a public playlist so the fans can listen to what yall are listening to? Would be pretty cool, like a Nfr spotify account for playlist and songs
lived up to the hype it got, dawn fm is a 10/10
Couldn't wait for this. Nfr FL
Much love Vessel you’re a day 1 OG🙏
hey you guys should add your favourite songs at the end of the album review it would be nice to see which songs you vibe to and why
Yes 🙌
Dawn FM>After Hour
I think the features were picked perfectly because Tyler and Wayne are both EXCELLENT story tellers of this generation. I think the only thing missing was Kendrick Lamar, but honestly, that would be a little too expected and redundant.
I loved this album. Totally was encapsulated by the soundscape and radio vibe. Amazing album to start the year with
this album is horrible. stop talking about everything except the music. these are just bad songs with a movie script over it.
My review to this album…
I gotta say, it is so good! It’s definitely not After Hours for sure but I don’t think Abel was trying to compete with that particular album. I believe that this album can stand on its own two feet without comparisons being played into it. It has some really good songs and some mediocre ones (like any album). Some song’s endings have such beautiful flow and connectivity between songs that it makes you want to listen to the next tune in the album. I also thoroughly enjoyed the featured guests in the album. They all played incredible roles in creating this masterpiece. Jim Carrey being the “HOST” of the radio station, DAWN FM, was a really unique inquiry to the album and added a sense of realism as if you were listening to an actual radio broadcast. Overalll, a very beautiful, unique and intriguing album by The Weekend. It’s been a long while since I’ve been able to resonate with an album and I feel like this album defines my last 2 years perfectly well.
Was After Hours really that amazing?? I'm definitely not saying it's bad but I feel like Dawn FM definitely matches After Hours in terms of quality and I think both albums are prob tied for 3rd best behind Kiss Land and Trilogy
Everyone has their own opinions , but for me this is better than after hours , I don’t wanna comeback to AH anytime soon
The features didn’t really hit…. Tyler was just a waste. Wayne was good but if it wasn’t there it would have been fine. Quincy just didn’t make sense to me… I mean it did I guess but idk… Jim was amazing!
Honestly never been the biggest weeknd fan but I think this is my favorite out of everything. Probably an unpopular opinion.
Another cool fact. On Here we go again those oooohs are done by Bruce Johnston (who is a member of The Beach Boys
The album was perfect that’s all I can really say about it
there’s no way he might’ve just topped after hours ….. AOTY week one of 22?!
Very possible!
Got a lot of Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode vibes on Gasoline vocals wise 👌
so basically a yb album but that isn’t trap or electronic based
The radio vibe is like how daft punk homework was , it’s defo Inspired
I still can't believe how he matched the album with After Hours. W
features were ass speaking over the beat is starting to be overused
