The Weeknd - Dawn FM (Discussion Thread)

[Ziggiy]

Out Of Time sounds like this nikka kidnapped the entire Thriller production team and put a gun to Quincy’s head and said “MAKE ME LIKE MIKE!!!”

Album is incredible... best pop artist out and it’s not even close. He can’t dance, might not have the best vocals, but the aesthetic, production and songs are unmatched. Also the creativity

I'm not sure about the story behind Morgan Freemans involvement with 21 & Metro for Savage Mode II, but Weeknd and Jim Carrey have a friendship and it shows.

Imagine a concept/storytelling album.....Raekwon having Ray Liotta or Robert Deniro narrate an album, Ghostface having Robert Downey Jr, etc....

that Wale Seinfeld album comes to mind

You're tuned to Dawn FM

This is his best produced album bar none.

agree. I like after hours more cause of the diff range he had on there and some of his old style still mixed in... but this is his most cohesive and best produced album. Dude has 3 classics to me with TBBTM, After Hours and Dawn Fm... I’m excluding his mixtape and earlier stuff lol

he went full pop with this project and told the Grammy committee “fukk u”

I was just listening to TBBTM to see how he has evolved.

I loved that record but the production and the way it was sequenced don’t hold up as much.

Still a great record though.

lol, I say the exact same thing. He got the production and sequencing down these last 2 projects. He cracked the code

The more I listen to it the more I like it. This is the type if album I can listen to on my commute to work. I got this on the way to work, and Nas "Magic" going home.

Out of Time & Is there Someone Else are my favorite’s so far. Take my Breathe also sounds so much cleaner and better on here (damn near FEELS like a new song)

 

[Magic Mulatto]

“Out of Time” tho….

Good album.

Which cut is Jim Carrey on?

Might be because he put the extended version on the album instead of the much worse radio version. It’s 2 mins longer and is so much better than the 3 min version that initially came out.

almost didn't recognize Jim Carrey floating on the outro

Jim was spittin
