Reacting to "Dawn FM" by The Weeknd

This has to be one of the most infuriating reactions. Why. Do. You. Pause. So. Often. Especially. When. The. Beat. Is. About. To. Drop. Seriously, man. The mid-song pauses just kill the react for me. Please just let the songs play out, and say your peace afterwards.

xxxtentacion

Loved this ! Also saw your youtube video for eminem ! Loved it, check out some of his new albums before the new one drops! Kamikaze and Music to be Murdered By are his 2 most recent if you want.

My Dear Melancholy by the Weeknd is a great short listen, reaction or not i definitely recommend

fucking love this album i never understood why this wasn't universaly loved but this is one of my favorite albums of the decade i think it's better than after hours and its so so so good. i won't be surprised in like years down the rode, one of these songs will just get super popular and more people will listen more and the public opinion will flip on this one.

This album fucking rocks.

noice

hey bob if you want some more interesting pop music i would recommend charli xcx. maybe you would like her albums pop2, charli, how im feeling now and maybe even her newest one brat. loved the reaction, cheers!

Man, can’t wait for you to react to the Starboy album, ‘Beauty Behind the Madness’, and My Dear Melancholy. All great albums that you’ll love, hopefully soon you react to them. Love watching you react to The Weeknd.

Man, it's so fun to see Bob enjoy "simple" pop music this much. This channel's approach to music reactions has always been quite lyrics-focused, which I don't mind at all, but there's undeniable power in a well-crafted pop song and it's cool to see the moment it lands on somebody for the first time. Bob basically lost the ability to form coherent speech for a moment when he heard the Take My Breath hook!

Take my Breath is so freaking good. Maybe there’s a double meaning but I always thought it’s a about The Weeknd being with a girl into choking haha

No music videos old man?

I love the Every Angel is Terrifying interlude in context of the album, set up as a commercial break on the radio in purgatory. The ad is trying to convince him to let go and accept his fate good or bad, cross over into the after life instead of replaying all his sins on a loop 🔁 I don’t know a single reason why ppl don’t like Weeknd, maybe the dark content but the sound is undeniable

Funny you mentioned Fantom of the Opera. You should definitely watch his Live at SoFi on HBO!

One thing I never see people talk about is the fact that this album is a perfect loop. It ends and begins with the birds. And I interpret that as he didn’t make it to Heaven. He had too much regret, guilt etc he was hanging on to at the end and so were stuck on a loop. Can’t wait for the next project. Great reaction!

Show me the person who said no more Weeknd, I'll fight them XD

I assume everyone will tell you but take my breath is the biggest single they just reduced a lot of the musical building and the breakdown for the radio edit

Maybe you'll check out "My Dear Melancholy, " since it's only 20 minutes long and has one of Abel's best songs on it.

idk why but everything i've read from his fans online reads like they don't think this is his best project but to me this is where his artistry has like all of the stats maxed out. He's writing hit songs, having a thematic tie to the album, absolutely crushing the decade he chose to emulate, and giving us great music videos to go with it. This is my fav album of his and one of my favs from recent years in general, there's really only a few songs i skip that aren't the interludes. Dont Break My Heart is the sleeper hit, that one will grow on you with more listens and will end up being the go-to pick to play. Also - the merch he dropped with this album was so good, I wish i got more than just the trucker hat. I also wish he could tour in more intimate settings, i fucking hate arena tours but i get why he has to do them.

adore this album! i remember listening to it for the first time with my brother and being automatically blown away. the after hours till dawn tour was also amazing live, i thought he did the whole big stadium setting so well. can't wait to see this reaction. :)

I know you have a ton of music and requests to listen to all the time, but if you ever want more Weeknd content since you've become such a fan: The Superbowl performance is amazing. There is is full After Hours til Dawn tour on HBO MAX which is also amazing. There's also a mini Dawn FM experience on Prime video where he kind of tells a story with Dawn FM through performing 6-7 songs continuously like a big huge music video.
