here come the comparers

I think the only thing Abel has to learn is to dance. Like really dedicate a whole era to dancing and he will be a god equal MJ.
Maybe get together with the Kpop guys for the choreo.

People are really acting like it’s impossible for this man to drop something better than Trilogy

Whole time they’re unaware that they’re really just fond of the nostalgia they have tied to those tapes and obviously a new album doesn’t have any memories attached to it yet so they think it’s worse

nah bro u gotta revisit

heaven or las vegas
life of the party
the zone
rolling stone
birds

initiation
next
montreal

Leave MJ alone

If he wasn’t referring to sacrifice video, then it has to be from Afterlife.. which would make me think it’s done already

Dawn FM is seminal, generational, era-defining s*** too

I'm not saying recency bias doesn't exist, I'm saying it happens with every album of a major artist. A few people have brought this up for this album particularly and honestly, there was way more of an echo chamber and a blanket of praise over the Drake section or Ye section for their respective albums in comparison to Dawn.

You said that it's hitting weeknd fans hard, I'd say as a weeknd fan, we are mostly way more aware of each albums place in his discography than the avg fan of drake/Kanye/Kendrick.

That's a nice feeling, when one of your favorite musicians makes a song or album and you love it! The best feeling!

Sacrifice, or Gasoline, one of them was the song with the deep voice in the first half, right?
I was like, "damn, something new? okay, okaayy" with that ugly Jack Nicholson smile, both in eyes and lips

Love the idea of Abel experimenting! But it was rather short of a track! I sure hope Abel doesn't do the women in bed like he does his tracks, cause for sure he left me wanting more haha

My first album listen was stolen from Out of Time, it outshone the other songs, now I need to find a proper free 1 hour, cause I wanna listen the album with no distractions, cause some tracks left me the early impression "This song has many interesting elements, one listen isn't enough"
Seems promising!

He is gone and someone will need to surpass him.

He “easily could have kept going”

But did he?

That’s the point genius

I could’ve listed all of Dawn’s tracklist because it’s easily better than Thursday, which is a great mixtape, but Dawn clears it

I'm not ranking the albums but tbh I think it's weirder to declare that an album that came out 4 days ago is better than a project with 10 years of staying power

I'll give em another try

Dawn is great but no song on here touches the top half of songs on trilogy

stay in school kids

Starry Eyes >

valerie as well

i’m prob forgetting but thursday especially has grown on me a ton since the trilogy era passed

Holy f***

Don’t fall victim to nostalgia kids

Always move forward

all that being said i'm on the 4th listen of Dawn front to back today and it's still hitting
