I don’t think it’s that bad but I don’t think it’s great, production is crazy though. Just maybe disappointing considering what we’re used to recieving.

I feel like he’s done these types of sounds better before (Blinding Lights, Can’t Feel My Face, I Feel It Coming, In Your Eyes) and they’re all hits, a lot of this comes across as a MJ impersonation whereas he had those songs scattered around on more versatile projects which had elements of this sound, R&B, pop, and dark music which blended nicely.

I just feel like someone as talented as him, why feel the need to try and go off other people’s sounds (MJ & 80s lane) when he is so good at being original or putting his Abel spin on s***. I get why he’s doing it, but it comes at the cost of losing (some) core fans but at the same time he will be even bigger.

But ya those are my honest thoughts before someone calls me out for my username😈

The recency bias argument is so flawed. So upon first reaction, people are allowed to say a new piece of art is worse than the preceding piece, but not allowed to say that it’s better?

If someone’s immediate reaction to an artist’s new album is that they like it more than the artist’s previous work, why is that a problem?

You can even flip the recency bias argument on its head and say some people are only saying Dawn is worse than AH because it’s newer and they haven’t had time to live with it.

Both arguments are stupid. Let people’s immediate reaction be valid, whether it’s positive or negative.

If this is your favorite project you’ve heard from Weeknd after your first listen, then you’re completely valid in believing that. If the opposite is true, then that’s also valid.

Na that’s not what I’m saying. BBTM was his first time going pop. Lot of artists try to go pop after they get a buzz off mixtapes, most fail miserably their first time and fade into obscurity. He proved he could dip into that bag effortlessly on songs like can’t feel my face and the hills without compromising his sound

U right, with a caveat:

If someone wasn’t a fan of After Hours but likes Dawn FM more, I understand

But if you were singing the praises for After Hours the last 2 years and automatically declare Dawn FM better after only a day? Naa, that’s sus
