The Weeknd Thread ( "The Dawn FM" OUT NOW)

[Mister Meaner]

The music doesn't have the depth it once had. It feels disingenuous because of the sound we came to love from the new artist in 2011. If this was how he was first introduced to the world, I wonder how many of us here would be hardcore fans.

I wouldn't be nearly the fan I was when the tapes dropped

I've already accepted the change of direction and sadly have somewhat let go of the fact that he used to represent something different

Like I've been saying, I used to see being a fan of his as the most vile thing you could think of in music (and I was damn proud). Nowadays the perception of being a Weeknd fan is just so much different, like everything automatically reverts to Earned It and ICFMF

I'm still holding onto when he shot Caitlyn Jenner in Tell your friends, signifying his old self is making a return lol

You don't even have to wonder, if this was the first tape that dropped there would be no "young gawd" "he never misses" etc. thread would look super different. He'd be just as popular especially with the Drake cosign and already making pop music. He'd been a megastar from the jump.

bbtm sounds like the noise. Not the weeknd. I can finally admit that.

 

[checks mcgee]

Those Hills remixes

We can hope

 

[Ingenious Bastard]

Just listened to Nocturnal for the first time. Definitely sounds like something that could've been a single on BBTM.

 

[broncos19dm]

Soon...

 

[Nawzlew]

What's sort of shocking is that CFMF was a hit...but The Hills has been the bigger hit.

It's the bass drop in the hook. A certain level of bass just does things to people. We need to stop spending money on Mars and figure out why this is true.

drop had me like

Best song he ever made. Or in top 3. CLASSIC!

 

[kuuliganworld]

Groovy *** album

 

[flesh prince]

Aural vibrations alter brain wave frequencies on a deeper level than most realize

But that knowledge is already out there

Can you expand on this?

/thread

Dude's best song imo.

 

[cronicmolemolereturns]

We still need The Birds Interlude in CDQ.

 

[MetalMario]

it will always be The Morning. #1 song for me

 

[northoaklandfc]

If I had to choose one it would either be Gone or Professional.

The Morning is top 5 though and will always be the first hit that kicked off the addiction.
