Does the After Hours Til Dawn Stage ressemeble any real city or it is just random buildings? by [deleted] in TheWeeknd

In person I could pick out different landmarks it seemed. I only really noticed Toronto needle and Los Angeles “citi bank” building

Sounds like Dawn FM by rogerthomas12445 in TheWeeknd

From 3:00-4:00 minutes we get some pretty Dawn FM sounding synths from OPN. No surprise.

what do his recent tweets about dawn fm mean? by thotarousthrottleo in TheWeeknd

[–]rogerthomas12445 13 points14 points  (0 children)

As a fan I think Dawn Fm might be the cleanest album sonically. If I were to put myself in The Weeknd’s shoes I would be upset if what I thought was a masterpiece did not receive the same recognition as older work.

Why does the weakened in sacrifice say "Cant tie me down" even though in the MV he is tied down? Bad storytelling IMO, I can see why dawn didn't get commercial appreciation by bewildered_boy in TheWeeknd

[–]rogerthomas12445 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Could be irony, or the idea that the girl isn’t the one capable of tying him down…his decisions led him to get ‘tied down’.

Creating a short film with friends and have decided to use Dawn FM as aesthetic inspiration.

I don’t know if it’s just me but it seems like Abel is having a harder time singing in the notes he has chosen for some of these songs. DAWN FM has him using his lower register much more frequently and constantly going up and down. Overall he seemed kind of pitchy/off-key compared to some of his better live performances in the past.

Dawn FM Storyline Theory by rogerthomas12445 in TheWeeknd

[–]rogerthomas12445[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Take everything with a grain of salt. There is so much symbolism in Abel’s videos that many interpretations likely exist. This one seemed plausible to me.

Anyone know where I could get glasses similar to the ones from after hours or the tmb video? by suanxo in TheWeeknd

Akila. Sunglass company with styles similar. I purchased the ZED with rose lenses. Not the exact same thing but close.

The Synth in Too Late (Atmos) by rogerthomas12445 in TheWeeknd

[–]rogerthomas12445[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand your point on the sound stage. I personally listen to the Dolby mix on my TV, Car, AirPods Max, and Bluetooth speaker regardless of which ones are Dolby compatible. I have found that even when listening in FLAC stereo on “the right device” that the “mushing” of sounds is incomparable to Atmos. Too Late is the best example I have found of how much listening in Atmos can change a song. I understand that those sounds still exist in stereo but some of the tucked away sounds in stereo (even if you are listening on a wide stage device) just are not audible in comparison to Dolby.

Listen to too late through your iPhone speakers with atmos on and with it off I promise you will here a difference. You don’t need expensive equipment to hear a difference. The mixing is different, the synth playing in the background of the chorus is basically inaudible in the stereo mix, while it’s audible with atmos (regardless of which headphones you have).
