Whats refreshing about you Bob is you admit being a snob in the past and seeing you enjoy rap and hip-hop is incredible. Many metalheads will never get past that in their life to see a whole different progression of tunes.
@@coleintheville117 True, I used to be a rap snob and ignore anything that wasn't Rap or R&B. After hearing Tame Impala, Black Sabbath, and Dance Gavin Dance, at 30, it made me realize that if you love music, you're missing out if you don't listen to more than what you're used to

@@saintfrancis9619its definitely not. Its impossible to top Gasoline, Sacrifce, Dont break my heart, less than zero, take my breath, out of time bro just read the whole tracklist, its ridiculous. The last 3 songs on after hours are the best on the album but the rest kinda lacks and doesn’t age as well imo and doesn’t touch Dawn fm’s whole production, sound and style. The Mj dance influence, the 80s but also futuristic theme
Remember when this came out and I was loving every single song lol. Despite my friends saying other wise I thought the album was incredible and forgot how many bangers are actually in it. The Weeknd is so good
@@LeMn680 that’s a pretty off take. the fact that the songs are about women doesn’t negate the quality of the album. Many perfect or almost perfect albums are filled entirely with songs of love
I genuinely after watching your videos for 3 years now, have not seen one person on this planet that is better at pausing at the worst time then you bob😂
It would be absolutely crazy if he did Purple Rain next week around its 40th anniversary. It is such a masterfully crafted piece that is beloved by so many artists from rock and jazz, all the way to hip hop, and Dawn FM is a great example of how the themes of Purple Rain continue to be referenced in music today
This album came out a day or two after my grandpa passed away. I took a few days off from work to grieve. When I went back to work (as a sales rep) the first person I helped out was wearing a shirt that said "Grandpas rock!"
I've seen a lot of people say dawn FM's better than After hours and I kind of agree to some extent but After hours got me through some tough times, Abel is so vulnerable in that album that it just hits harder for me personally.
Nah the stretch of snowchild, escape from la, heartless, faith, blinding lights, is toooo legendary. I’ve been a dawn fm defender tho I love the sounds
hi bob! i highly recommend oneohtrix point never's album "replica" since he produced most of dawn FM and since you love ambient music, i think you'll love this
Bob! Listen to this comment! You even said Oneohtrix's name correctly! You won't regret it! *personally I would rather him start with Garden of Delete, since he's said before that super repetitive loops tend to turn him off and Replica is literally just that at its core (incredible as it is) and because the heavy grungier sounds of GoD might be more immediately accessible to Bob. But I agree that if he loves all the little production touches on Dawn FM he should definitely dive in to 0PN's work, cuz Rifts, Replica, R+7, and Garden of Delete are all peak albums from this century. God tier production through and through!
What translate so well is the combination of 80's mixed with modern music making (2022), Abels amazing voice, all the rich details, the story told through the album and with the previous in mind and a much more pronounced bass compared to 80's music. And to think this didn't get even one grammy nomination is an universal crime.
I love watching bob because for most of my life I was like a club banger, pure rap and lyrics type of guy, hated pop. And then The Weeknd came, and introduced me to the entire pop world
My interpretation of the album with the knowledge of him being in purgatory meaning he has died, is that this whole album is his journey through purgatory looking back at his life. It starts off with dawn fm and him realizing he died, assuming from OD and waking up in purgatory and realizing he needs to take this journey through the dark to reach the light that he desperately wants. Then we get gasoline, sacrifice, take my breath. To me, this all is him looking back at his drug addiction, partying and not taking much care into his life or the people around him. Sacrifice made that clear when he says “I don’t wanna sacrifice for you love” meaning he wasn’t ready to give up his temporary fun for love. Then we get Quincy jones, out of time. That’s when he kind of matured a bit in his life and realized everything he was doing but also realizing it’s too late and also starting to feel some regret. Here we go again. I guess he finds a girl he likes. Then best friends maybe he’s going back to his old ways. Met the girl he refers to in here we go again but she catches feelings this scares him so he’s doing what he always does and pushes her away and just wants to stay friends he says it’s to protect her because he knows he will ruin it. Deep down he hasn’t changed. Also a call back to the Quincy jones spoken word when he says when someone got to close he’s cut them off. The Weeknd does the same. Now with is there someone else, i kind of get lost because it sounds like he actually wants the girl from best friends but she’s moved on? Starry eyes sounds to me like he’s pretty much begging her to come back and she can treat him like trash as long as she stays? Every angel is terrifying to me is just like an ad to the after life. Like he’s trying to entice The Weeknd to cross over to after life? But right now he’s too busy looking back at his life and still regretting. The next two songs don’t break my heart and I heard you’re married. I think the woman has moved on but still keeps him on the side and if you pay attention to his old music, he was always ok with being a side piece but not anymore. Like he took pride in it and taking women from their men temporarily while he was in town for shows. Then less than zero, I think at this point he feels like he will never change and he will just continue to be his toxic self and it will always be a continuous cycle. He’s still regretting even after all that. Throughout the album he is just showing regret to his past. He may have realized from mistakes but still repeating them? Then the phantom regret by Jim Carey pretty much is telling The Weeknd you been in purgatory this whole time and still have not let go of the regret, you still feel the same and you aren’t changing. So he must stay in purgatory until he lets go of the regret of his past decisions. He has not found peace within himself. I feel like that’s why he looks so old. He’s been in purgatory that long and trying to deal with his past. If you notice the album is on a continuous loop. I think end of phantom regret transitions right back into dawn fm. So that solidifies that he stuck in purgatory until he can let go of all his past and move forward. Honestly, when you watch the music videos in order, it kind of makes more sense. Take my breath is the first video and he’s at a party where everyone is inhaling something from an oxygen tank but clearly it symbolizes drugs. And the woman he meets has a kink of being choked or choking or whatever. He dies in the video from his lifestyle. But I think he ODs . Which it then transitions straight in to the sacrifice video where he wakes up at the same party and then floats toward a light hearing the spoken word from dawn fm . almost like Jim Carey plays the role of god. Letting him know he just died. Then sacrifice plays and he’s getting dragged to what I think is the start of purgatory and demons suck out his soul at the end of the video. The gasoline video is next but I still haven’t figured that one out yet. He’s old at this point and I think he’s watching his past self at a party doing things he used to do but surrounded by demons? Idk as far as the music videos go and visual story, that’s where I get lost 😂
I’ve been obsessed with this album for that past month or so, but it’s amazing that you piece together things in your first listen that I didn’t even consider. Glad you enjoyed this one, I love it more than after hours by just a bit.
the phantom of the opera feeling you felt is actually so fitting. the music video for this has like a “phantom” version of him wearing a mask, and watching over the love interest from afar. always love your reactions poppop 🫡
Yay! You're one of my favorite reactors, and this is not only my favorite Weeknd project but in my Top 5 favorite albums of all time. The way the entire album flows, the transitions, the production, his vocal performances, etc. is nothing short of incredible. Very reminiscent of "Lovesexy" by Prince, which is my favorite album of all time :) Has to be enjoyed as an entire experience, and only listening to the singles would do it a disservice.
New sub.. watched yr after hours reaction and enjoyed it.. thank you for reacting the weeknd.. first time I became a fan was from stayboy album.. when I heard “I feel it coming” and been listening to the weeknd ever since.. again thank you 😊 🙏
the story hes telling abt his character dying in after hours, and him being in this purgatory state in Dawn FM is so damn creative. i cant wait to see where the story goes for the final album of the trilogy
I love watching you react to albums that I love, and im specially enjoying this one cause thats exactly what I feel EVERYTIME I listen to this masterpiece. ITS SO GOOD! I also agree that this album is better than after hours...
a tale by quincy means the effects life has on us subconsiuously witch leads to difficulties progressing to be who we truly are & our relationships with others :) the weeknd abel surely can relate :)
90% of the fans are 7-8 year old kids who listen to cartis screaming and drake and kendrick diss. Listen to what you want and explore different genres. Dont feel pressured by the haters to listen to rap and hip-hop all the time. The Weeknd is amazing and there's many songs of his you should listen to
Originally, he was branching out WITH hip-hop. Now it’s pretty much all he does. People love rap, it’s the most listened to genre in the world right now. It’s good for the algorithm
The first time I ever heard The Weeknd was actually on a local Radio station in Chicagoland called 103.5 Kiss FM when I was in the 7th grade, so it was insanely trippy when I first listened to this album and the fictional radio station was ALSO 103.5 Great reaction as always, and i cant wait to listen to the new album with you (Btw if you take requests, 4eva is a Mighty Long Time by BIG K.R.I.T is a really underrated southern rap album that not many people have reacted to)

Bob you got to review the Live at Sofi Stadium After movie by the Weeknd!!!! Most of his hit songs were performed with a different but epic flavour of their originals and trust me you are gonna love it!
Abel is amazing because he’s a mainstream star for specific and popular songs, but somehow all of his others works remain niche. He’s achieved worldwide recognition, yet the majority of people can’t name any others tracks besides Die For You or Blinding Lights. We love you Abel. XO🫶
I think everyone was really hyped for what would happen in every angel is terrifying with that beat, and though fun, a little dissapointed that they didn't make full use of what the could have been
Don’t listen to the haters Bob, WE WANT MORE WEEKND
Less Than Zero live in a stadium was phenominal
fr man it was the best vibes live
Weird how Abel never dropped a music video for it
@@betterfuelhuell1992he teased it but never did 🥲
One of my greatest concert memories fr
Bro I saw it in Dublin it was insane his last song he performed
“out of time” is the definition of a timeless track…it will never age
you could say it'll never be out of time
Only song I know from the album tbh
@@makoto3212 would not be saying that out of my own volition unasked
Take my breath extended has to be one of the greatest songs of all time
Nah
It's too basic and simple in it's structure but it's a good song for sure
it’s great but people on the internet need to stop saying “greatest” or “masterpiece” for everything they like lmao
Bro, I can think of five songs that came out this year. That are better.
Love the enthusiasm… but no
My favorite studio album from The Weeknd, this thing is immaculately produced and performed
yea idk how he’s gonna do the last entry in the trilogy after this
It's on par with House of Balloons imo
Fr
Whats refreshing about you Bob is you admit being a snob in the past and seeing you enjoy rap and hip-hop is incredible. Many metalheads will never get past that in their life to see a whole different progression of tunes.

His best album from start to finish. Such a smooth, easy listen
People underrate this album insanely! It’s easily his best album. Also the best cohesively song to song.
easily is a crazy take
@@gilltimmerman1333 i mean it is the only album with transitions for every song
It’s not his best album. Other than Gasoline track, all the songs in this album are just about woman

love that you love THE WEEKND
"Who is Quincy Jones?" Is the whitest thing one could ever say.😂
Well at least he had an idea😂just wasn't 100% sure
Been waiting for this reaction for year and a half, thank you Bob
Also I really need that Starboy reaction, I wonder why you skipped it
@@G59METHhe wanted to get the trilogy out of the way with to prepare for the rollout
I already know he’s gonna kill all of the transitions
Absolutely PERFECT TIMING, was just wondering when you would drop this
Since you don’t know any prince songs, react to Purple Rain by Prince
He did thriller a few years ago, so that would make sense
THIS
It would be absolutely crazy if he did Purple Rain next week around its 40th anniversary. It is such a masterfully crafted piece that is beloved by so many artists from rock and jazz, all the way to hip hop, and Dawn FM is a great example of how the themes of Purple Rain continue to be referenced in music today

Beauty Behind the Madness is one of the Weeknds best albums! I need to see a reaction to that!!
Agree! Just commented saying that more or less LOL! XO
the pause before out of time actually killed my soul

i don’t think he submitted it for nomination after they robbed after hours
3 weeks later and we’re already getting another Weeknd reaction??? let’s fkn go!!!
I think the shorter single version of “Take My Breath” has more streams because it was released first before the extended album version

"I need a footcam" - Bob the Poppop, 2024
I didn’t know it was that kind of patron 😮
Production is top notchhhh
When this album came out I listened to it constantly. Such addicting production. I agree its better than after hours
I’ve been obsessed with this album for that past month or so, but it’s amazing that you piece together things in your first listen that I didn’t even consider. Glad you enjoyed this one, I love it more than after hours by just a bit.
The transitioning of how do I make you love me to take my breath is breathtakingly SMOOOOOOOTH imo😮💨🔥🐐
the phantom of the opera feeling you felt is actually so fitting. the music video for this has like a “phantom” version of him wearing a mask, and watching over the love interest from afar. always love your reactions poppop 🫡
man this album is so good
Phantom Regret By Jim is a masterclass of how close a album, absolute masterpice.
Yesssss, I've waited soo long for this! I love this album, and especially Here we go again, Out of time and I heard you're married

Relistened to the album last night and saw bob's reaction when i woke up that's perfect and i do think this one's better than after hours 🖤

Loved this video my guy, your energy in this genuinely lifted my mood. Thank you for all the work you put into this 🕺
The transitions on this record are amazing
Love to hear you talk about video games!
LMAO take my breath was a complete solo single that did more than 1 billion streams (radio cut). So you’re right it was big just not the extended one
This is one of my most listened to albums in the last couple of years. It manages to feel cohesive, while still being filled with hit after hit.
Glad you liked this one so much! Its a top 2 or 3 project of his imo, great stuff as always
Bob this was great! Glad you finally listened to this one 😂 we’ve been waiting ❌🖤⭕️
I LOVE your Weeknd reactions Bob!
the story hes telling abt his character dying in after hours, and him being in this purgatory state in Dawn FM is so damn creative. i cant wait to see where the story goes for the final album of the trilogy
At this point you have time for the rest of his discography lol. Some bangers in there you'd enjoy
The transitions in this album are fucking amazing great video love you
this album got me through the hardest years of uni. adore it. really hope u enjoy it. can’t wait to watch!!!! 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I love watching you react to albums that I love, and im specially enjoying this one cause thats exactly what I feel EVERYTIME I listen to this masterpiece. ITS SO GOOD! I also agree that this album is better than after hours...
Been waiting for this one! Thank you for the lovely reaction - underrated Album experience cause it has less hit power than After Hours
Was just listening to this like 10 minutes ago no way
listening to this always
LETS GO BOB. Weeknd reaction are my favorites
I love The Weeknd sampling Midnight pretenders for Out of Time. City pop will always be timeless.
This album is soo smooth and beautiful ❤️
¨Who is Quincy Jones¨ broooo lmao that was funny af
This been the best reaction on CZcams for dawn FM
wooooo what a great thing to see on a saturday evening :) thanks Bob!
an under appreciated masterpiece.
Aw this album gives me good memories 😭 still so much fun to listen to
YESS, i love this album personally i enjoy it over after hours but you should totally do all his albums especially my dear melancholy & starboy
a tale by quincy means the effects life has on us subconsiuously witch leads to difficulties progressing to be who we truly are & our relationships with others :) the weeknd abel surely can relate :)
the day has come
Less than zero is a song about depression. He'll always be less then zero meaning he'll always be negative. Shit is deep as hell xo for life 💯
Bob reacts to The Weeknd upload??? Best way to start off my birthday weekend
90% of the fans are 7-8 year old kids who listen to cartis screaming and drake and kendrick diss. Listen to what you want and explore different genres. Dont feel pressured by the haters to listen to rap and hip-hop all the time. The Weeknd is amazing and there's many songs of his you should listen to
Originally, he was branching out WITH hip-hop. Now it’s pretty much all he does. People love rap, it’s the most listened to genre in the world right now. It’s good for the algorithm
This album came out after a breakup of a 2 year relationship for me and really helped me ❤
Best friends is the most underrated weeknd song
always fun to see people react to the transition from best friends to is there someone else
Funny that you say the thing about your aunt and the cover. My dad thought the same thing when listening to blinding lights 🤣
This is my favorite album by The Weeknd. Also his most critically acclaimed. It’s just amazing. 🔥
The next album gonna be sooooo good, and a movie coming with it 🔥🔥
Oh My GOD Take My Breath when Abel starts going “aaaah aaaah” 😭✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
The first time I ever heard The Weeknd was actually on a local Radio station in Chicagoland called 103.5 Kiss FM when I was in the 7th grade, so it was insanely trippy when I first listened to this album and the fictional radio station was ALSO 103.5

Bob you got to review the Live at Sofi Stadium After movie by the Weeknd!!!! Most of his hit songs were performed with a different but epic flavour of their originals and trust me you are gonna love it!
Love this album
Abel is amazing because he’s a mainstream star for specific and popular songs, but somehow all of his others works remain niche. He’s achieved worldwide recognition, yet the majority of people can’t name any others tracks besides Die For You or Blinding Lights. We love you Abel. XO🫶
Honestly, this is one of the best produced albums I’ve ever heard in my life
I think everyone was really hyped for what would happen in every angel is terrifying with that beat, and though fun, a little dissapointed that they didn't make full use of what the could have been
i was waiting for this one!
Very good timing because I think his new era is looming among us
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONEEEE
I’m about to go on a hour and half drive thanks bob for making it better
this gone be a legendary video
