- Wassup 9ers! S/o to the realest 9 for tuning in to this video. Listening to this album was definitely an EXPERIENCE and we urge everyone to check out the entire video to see what we were able to pull from what we believe to be a early STANDOUT project in 2022.

Can y’all please react to music standing up?
@@fiasypiage952 they addressed that at the end of this video..
Maybe if you guys do some sponsorships on these music reaction videos ? That way if it gets demonetized you still getting compensation for the views you being in. I just love y’all’s music reviews so much
@@thriller008 timestamp?
@@King-Nova 37:05
Ngl this album was just “ok” to me at first, but now I listen to the whole thing on repeat, I love it now
Me too
I still feel like that but I feel how u changed your view
I can’t get into it. The music itself isn’t good to me. It’s like electronic music and it sounds so bad to me lol.
@@grogu411 unless you purely listen to hard core rap, I don’t see how this can sound like “bad” music. At the core of it, it’s 80s pop/dance which is very appealing to the average listener. Album is great imo, but nothing will top kissland
I kinda feela like an entire song in a way, i cant really listen to individual songs without getting the entire experience
If you notice, Dawn FM (intro) opens up to birds chirping, and Phantom Regret ends with birds chirping so when you listen on repeat in order, the album is stuck in an infinite circle.
The Weeknd said (paraphrasing) that the album is like your finding heaven but cant so you turn on this radio station. Phantom Regret is you finding heaven. So im thinking the loop is because people die everyday so they end up also trying to find it and etc. Its brilliant.
Also- after hours deluxe versions ends with a lullaby and Dawn fm opens up with birds chirping
Also, Until I Bleed Out has the same ending sound as Alone Again’s beginning.
If you can't step into the light - you will be in purgatory forever.
Thanks for this.
This album is a masterpiece and overlooked by most.
as a xo fan it’s not his best work but it’s not bad just not what we were expecting but I love the album can’t wait to see what he does for the 3rd installment
his best album so far IMO
@@squillz8310 kissland lol
I think the charts don't lie, this album was a huge success. I really like it as a whole concept. It is not like his original stuff, but I don't want him to make the same album 10x. I like this one more than his prior two, and it is more cohesive as a project.
I’ve listened to this over 100 times since I discovered it this past April
I love the album, but im pretty sad that so many "XO" fans dont appreciate his stuff and always want him to come back to his old style, even though he is providing us with such high quality music. I feel like as XO fans we need to let go of our expectations, cuz abel reinvents himself on every project and we should appreciate the variety in his discography rather than compare his new stuff to his old stuff.
Exactly 💯 💯
That’s a great point. Often times people critique artists for not evolving their sound. And now Abel’s fans are criticizing him for that evolution! I think if he tried to recreate his old sound, people would compare it and be disappointed if it’s not as good as his original stuff. So I 100% support Abel’s direction.
Yes! And if he were to only stick to his old style it’d get tired after a while. It’d get repetitive and feel like something we’ve already heard a dozen times. And I don’t want to get bored of him. The way he does it you don’t get sick because there is always something new. It’s like… Ok you like HOB and Kissland better? Then go listen to them. They’re still there.
Like Abel said “ Afterlife”
@@tvl9193 exactly what i mean
I’ve let this album marinate for 2 months. It’s a fucking classic
Are you Arthur Fleminger? He said that too

kanye is still alive
@@anroks15 is consider Kanye more of a musician and not as much as an artist
@@andrewscott6864 his older albums (mbdtf/graduation/tlop etc) are literal works of art. A lyrical masterpiece that paints a picture so vivid, not many artists even come close to it in terms of matching the unparalleled symbolism, word-play, and downright perfect production of those albums. So yes he is an artist. Weeknd is in my top 3 ever but he is yet to join the league Kanye is in, and this is with me conceding the fact that kanye's recent albums have been shit. The bar set by kanye's previous albums is so high that his overall GOAT status can never be questioned as an artist. However, music is obviously subjective so it's really just my opinion.

“The Weeknd be saying some great ass shit about doing drugs” Terrell Mallory 2022
I loved it at first listen, but I also see why people think it’s a strange album. It’s like kissland, where nobody really thought much of it AT THE TIME OF ITS RELEASE, but overtime it grew on people and saw the masterpiece it was. That’s the same with Dawn FM, a creative masterpiece that is heavily under appreciated
I love kissland 😭 I love all his albums he’s just so talented
This is beyond a masterpiece. And quite honestly, even though he evolves, he's literally the only artist that makes multiple songs flow into one; with every sound being amazing. And, he's done it on every album he's made. He is also the only artist that NEVER needs features. Miss his older XO stuff? Go listen to it - it still exists.
Hey that was the smartest, simplest solution I've heard for all them "wanting the Trilolgy Weeknd back"
"Go listen to it - it still exists" 💯💯💯💯
I'm never disappointed in anything new he puts out, I genuinely enjoy listening and singing along with any of his songs on my XO playlist. Maybe that is because I listen to all of it, everything, all the time ! I'll listen to everything another ten years too cuz it never gets old to me 😃
Love It or Hate It, "DAWN FM" is the best album we got in 2022 so far. Love the concept and sound of the album. Yeah we all miss that mixtape Weeknd sound but this is still great 8/10
*Best mainstream album, Beach House and Black Country, New Road had insane albums this year
This is not better than Conway new album
Naw bro, not it.
Not even Top 5 and it’s March.
I love Dawn FM but Few Good Things by Saba is my AOTY so far for sure
This album is actually amazing and it’s one of The Weeknd’s best albums IMO.
100% agreed, AH/TD is insanely well done
I don’t know how people hate on this album this such a beauty
not about the quality of the album is just not everyone fucks with that dance techno shit
@@StrafLife69 There's not an ounce of techno in this, tf are you talking about? This is straight Synthpop, R&B. The Weekend is going straight Vaperwave Michael Jackson on this and it's incredible. Literally one of his best albums.
@@gabegrosso9164 all that electronic music is all the same to me techno dance house same shit, very very little rnb on this
so yeah if someone doesnt like "synthpop" or whatever you wanna call it then this album aint it nothing to do with the quality
@@StrafLife69 Lol talking bout quality , when he done the production of Sonic Music and narrated by Jim Carrey? . Nah stfu. You maybe from tik tok.
@@hfworld4924 kind of ironic when he has like a producer name but can't tell the difference between genres lol
You guys made me see this album in a different light, dope concept & great review
This album is an absolute masterpiece. Escapism at its finest.
Just joined the 9 but I must say these reactions are so much more enjoyable when they’re standing up 😂 9!
agreed
You guys broke this down perfectly!
U right
finally some one break down the album and brooooo knowing all of these on first listen is impressive!
as you guys mentioned its all about The Weeknd's "regret" from cover art , music videos , lyrics...Abel trying to go back in time and redeem himself but he always fails because he is victim of his own ego and he needs too stays in purgatory till let go that regret so finally he can find his way to "AFTER LIFE" which is his next project too...
beautifully explained! 🥂
whole 9!!! the best out been waitin on this. love yalls breakdown for sure. I think the one angle a lot of people are missing is this album being about not the regret of just a failed relationship, but being a metaphor for his career as a whole. we all know Weeknd started as dark as you can start lol. we know just how grimey trilogy got. I think this album is him hinting at wanting to move on from “The Weeknd”. he even mentioned wanting to seperate from The Weeknd name in a print interview last year but “the stories not done yet.” The old man is him being worn from all the destruction, drugs, ego, meaningless sex, it’s drained him. In the Gasoline video his younger self is beating this older, regretful, wiser self to death out of sheer fear and regret. he’s not ready to face his sins. When you look at it like this a lot of songs have a double meaning: (How Do I Make You Love Me? - will they love me without the drugs?- Take My Breath - being consumed by temptation/drugs , Sacrifice - not wanting to give up the night life, etc) when you look at how he referenced his career as early as Rolling Stone it’s not too far fetched. After Hours being apart of this new “trilogy” can looked at in the frame too. Great album overall. XO / WHOLE 9️⃣
this is a great analogy thankyou for posting this.
He also tweeted about this yesterday...he wants to be Abel now
To the point of it being a loop/could you start at phantom regret and still get back to the start of the album. It’s purgatory and The Weeknd has to keep reliving the same thing until he lets go.
Wasn’t feeling it on the first listen but now it’s prob my fav album of the year so far. This and After Hours are my favourite sounds for him
This album is so creative it’s insane. Definitely gonna grow heavy on people, watch.
Nope
@@MrMlbfan6 L
Bro how is your comment a month old 👀
@@redblazer29 patreon
it isn't but it sounds pretty good. the problem is it's too clean
A masterpiece, without a doubt.
CAN WE appreciate the amount of EDITING! Shit is fire bro. Glad to see you guys more on TH-cam I missed you guys.
i liked it better when they had the face cam on both of em at once personally
Y’all break down of this was great. The album is ultimately about regret. Every song is about regret. And it’s beautifully haunting. Great review.
I couldn’t stand this album at first. But after listening to it constantly, this album is amazing. I still don’t like Gasoline and Don’t break my heart but aside of that, everything else is amazing. People don’t understand the reason Abel is still relevant because he reinvents his self every album. If he stayed with the Trilogy sound his whole career, he would’ve faded out by now
I promise both those songs will grow on you they are both bangers experimental 80 bangers
@@Hamzethegoat nah I don’t think so. I guess Gasoline grew on me in a sense because I thought it was absolutely horrible when I first heard, to now I think it’s not horrible but I just don’t like it still. If Don’t break my heart hasn’t grown on me after a million listens, it probably won’t ever. I see the sounds he was going for in both songs but I still don’t care for it. But like I said, everything else on the album is heat.
@@kingesbaldhead1546 gasoline is a different song for a lot of Weeknd fans. He's singing in a much lower register and it pulls from the '80s europop sound. definitely not for everyone, but I personally love it
I like Gasoline but Don't break my heart is actually just not a good song 😂
Gasoline is a masterpiece
I loved this album, not only the vibe but the message helped by Jim Carrey's narration was so beautiful, even tear inducing at some moments.
Masterpiece in my opinion!
The Weeknd said we’re “experiencing another “Trilogy””. We’ll find out where he ends up on the next album. 🤯
So excited
Abel only puts out amazing albums. His vocal ability is next level, his vision and thematic elements separate him from anyone else.
He’s the GOAT, top 5 artists of all time
It was great to hear your perspectives on this project, getting so deep on the first listen.
I can count on my hands how many albums I know that can flow so cognitively, that I can listen from beginning to end with full intentiveness and appreciate something new every time. And this is undoubtedly one of them. Phantom Regret by Jim is a poem that can speak volumes to what can represent great significance in different times of people's lives. When you're 25 and just starting to figure out what who you really are. When you're 50 and you're trying to figure it out all over again. When you're 75 and you want to feel content in the journey that lead to who you became. But can you in the end? It all connects to the final line. *You've got to be heaven, to see heaven.* Peace from within is the key to all. This is an incredible project that will comfortably sit in my crate of favourite records of all time.
Insane breakdown, hands down! You gave the album what it deserved.
When I first listened to the album I’m not even gonna lie to y’all I straight up thought it wasn’t good. I thought after hours + his previous work was so much better. I recently watched a video about why he’s an old person and what it all means and I have to say that alone made the whole concept more interesting to me. I NEVER listen to 80’s sound at all but now that I give the album a couple more chances along with the music videos I love the whole album!!!! I got a dawn fm hoodie and it’s all I listen to on a regular. My point here is, it’s one of those albums that grow on you rather than being a banger first listen
True
Legendary album that will get it's proper recognition years after
This is what I expect on reactions! Really listening, getting the lyrics, reflecting... JUST BEAUTIFUL!
So happy to see y’all with the headphones on, makes you experience the music wayyyy better
I used to go on runs at 4am and listen to this album during all of February and it was the most fun time I had I already have memories attached to this album
The Weekend is like an Raw-Uncut/Uncensored Michael Jackson.
Abel could do thriller but MJ can’t make after hours or BBTM.
@@ulyssescuevas1397 that’s the most ignorant statement I’ve ever seen. If he grew up in this modern era w the same mindset to innovate, he could, just Like he did in his time. Stop comparing.
@@ulyssescuevas1397 debatable. Dirty Diana exists. Smooth criminal too. These tracks have some really dark undertones even for MJ. If MJ wanted to go all Afterhours I think he could have gone that way.
I absolutely love y'all breakdown of this album. You guys never miss the mark.
I really appreciate this format a lot, it's a better way to listen to this album 🙌🏿
I've been listening to this album on and off since it's released and I definitely listened to the album 4-5 times a day within the first 2 weeks, it's got to be one of the best experiences I've had listening to a album for me to still enjoy the music. The quality, the vocals, the beats, he's truly one of a kind.
I did not like this album at first but I gave it a couple more listens and now it’s one of my favorite albums of all time.
Best review of this album hands down. You guys really get it and dissect everything truthfully
The album is great. It doesn't have the first play ability or first listen hits like after hours but the more you listen to it this grows on you and fast. The album as a whole is better than afterhours..
y’all hit it on the head for me. i never realized why he was really old weeknd in the cover till the last track. everything up till now was warning him on looking back and regretting, but more and more he kept falling for the love interest till he realized she didn’t want him back fully. then he tried showing off with his new movie star girl or celebrating super bowl to compensate to no avail bc he still wanted her. just till u get to the last track and realize you’ll never enter after life until you let it go. meaning he’s been there forevveerrr bc he can’t let her go. i think it’s really strong cuz sometimes we have a hard time letting go of past relationships in hope they’ll take us back.
(lucifer the netflix show did something similar to this where everyone in hell was only there because of their guilt. so the way to escape that version of hell was to rid yourself of the guilt and reach the next life)
you guys are on to something here ! this is the next step in "album reactions" more like an album breakdown
Thank God this video is back. I was watching it when it got strikes. Keep it up guys, you are amazing.
Y’all did an amazing breakdown. Im so passionate about the weeknds music, I love him for this reason.
Idk if yall have listened to past albums but theres so much more. He tells a beautiful story and all the albums connect. ❤️🔥
I think this whole album represents reflecting back on your life, and letting go of the past, as you enter heaven. Kinda how ppl say you relive your whole life before you enter the afterlife. Phantom Regret kinda solidified that for me.
missed this content on youtube, production is insane and the reactions are genuine, love for yall
I have no words because i have listened to this album dozens of times and u guys hit it on the nail too me🔥🔥🔥🔥
Already got my tickets for the tour!!
I miss you guys reaction to different albums. Please keep this going y'all are lit when it come to reactions can't wait for y'all to choose your next album to react to.
I keep coming back to this reaction, loved both of your takes for this piece of art the weekend gave us!
It’s crazy how this gave me a whole new perspective on this album! Awesome breakdown
I been listening to this since it came out. One of my favorite Weeknd albums. And a great workout album.
The way you guys break down music brings a whole new perspective on music i love . Amazing. keep it up bros 🔥🔥🔥
Yall definitely gave me a better appreciation for this album after the 1st listen!
I think also that the heaven/hell theme is a reflection of his happiness in a sense. Him not being able to move on from these regrets keeps him depressed aka in hell. But until he learns to let go, he won’t be happy/in heaven
ya were spot on this was my first video watching ya but being a huge weeknd fan im def fina watch more of ya, because ya can appricate great music
Omg y’all back with music reaction. This just made my week
Album is absolutely amazing and this review proved it even more 🤘🏾9️⃣🔥🔥🔥
Y'all making me appreciate this album. When it first came out I listened to it 2 times straight, couldn't figure it out. This reaction is putting everything into perspective.
Great reaction. Really interesting theories that I hadn’t considered before. This album gets better with every listen.
Been a fan of him since 2013. It’s amazing to see him grow in his music and I absolutely LOVE this album
I love this video man, this is great, I didn’t realize it was on patreon, but I’m gone have to rewatch it there.
Damn, nobody else I saw pointed out the purgatory concept that might be going on. Definitely agree with y'all on that and especially with Jim saying "you have to wait here when you're not all there yet". Him being in purgatory with his own regrets and constantly looking back at his mistakes instead of just being free. I feel like the concept is Abel's way of freeing himself from his regrets and getting a lot of emotional stuff off his chest. It's so much more than most pop arena albums out there. Such amazing production and no missing beats, everything is full and he seemed to take full advantage of everybody who worked on it. Super good reaction and analysis guys!
Kinda sad you didn't include the transitions between the songs cuz they 🔥🔥
this new content im loving it, y’all rugby about what u get sittin’ down, love to hear you guys, greetings from Mexico! keep grinding 🦍🦍🦍
This was a great video I look at this album differently now in a good way.
Expensive synth pop at its finest
I've listened to this album so many times now, yet hearing you guys break it down and talk about what it means to you is very entertaining. Your guys' commentary adds a lot to the album.
I think that's my favorite part, is the fact that the album can be taken literally, or metaphorically. That leaves people with their own feelings towards the message/story of the album/trilogy. Also, your guys' ad-libs during some songs were just goofy as hell and I love it.
How does 'miss' even enter the vocab for this album, even when listening to the low points on this album I never thought this was a miss. It's still I think a slight cut below After Hours but it's still so so smooth. I think Dawn FM is another home run for The Weeknd
this was a really good video . the different review style was cool and I loved the editing
this reaction sounds is IMPECCABLE!!! upstairs on the loft area was a bit off for me after the basement reactions
I loved the discussion of all the tracks, yall are smart asf with those metaphors off first listen
His new music is so much better than his old music imo , so futuristic and energetic
Masterpiece for sure it took me a 2nd listen just like after hours took a min. This album makes me wanna go roller skating 😂
Favourite video in a long long time , good shit .
love the breakdowns y’all have of the songs and their backgrounds
One of the Best Conceptual / Spiritual / Conscious Albums of All Time. ⏱♾🌀
Woooooo! Been waiting for this too long 💯💯
classic album man. it's crazy to me how much it hits me with each listen like it's get better every time 😭
Lowkey y’all breaking down the meaning behind the songs has kinda helped me realize that I was stuck in a loop regretting past relationships. Y’all the best 🙌
Shot out to you guys for the quality of the content, love.
I thought After Hours was a masterpiece…. Dawn FM is just another masterpiece
WOW! What a fantastic and insightful review. Kee up the awesome work guys
Ahhhh been waiting on this!!!!
Always a good day when you guys post
When i saw this video on the patreon i didn't catch the vibe of this album, one year later im here, and i can't stop to listen this album and now reviewing this reaction the album looks better!! This year I'll go to The Weeknd Tour here in Brasil and will enjoys more knowing the meaning behind the lyrics!! Thank you guys for the best content as always! #Whole9
Great recap guys!! I gotta admit I didn’t like the album initially. It grew on me with every listening session that I’ve been hearing it everyday. Love the additional insights you guys take out if it!
I can’t watch anymore reactions on Dawn FM anymore after y’all. I got what I needed from this one lol best reaction!
The editing of this reaction is sublime. Plus i somehow never listened to this album even though I like The Weeknd. Now I'm excited to listen on my own and take it in.
bless y'all for this video
Damn editing was immersive asf y'all outdid yourselves
man im so happy you guys did this reaction, loved the review. I do prefer the face cam on both of you at the same time though, to see both reactions
You’re doing the most with the editing on this. I appreciate the effort but I’d prefer just a still shot, because all I want is to see your reaction to each song, keep it simple - great to see you posting a new reaction
😂y’all reaction just made me love this album even more
Omggggggg been waiting for this
such an amazing reaction! please do more the weeknd reactions
@17:24
- fun fact, he chose 103.5 because in Canada there’s a radio station with the same frequency called Z 103.5 where they mostly play adult contemporary Pop which ties in with the whole album being synth wave pop but still pop lol.
