DISCLAIMER: Portions of this video are extremely oversaturated and there's nothing I could do...trust me. I tried everything. I got the iPhone 13 Pro and it was automatically set to HDR mode for recording and YALL BETTER TURN THAT OFF IMMEDIATELY because it completely ruined the editing process the entire time. I spent this entire day exporting 10 versions of this video and had to settle on this, I know it doesn't look bad but I was hellbent on making the original work. Thank you for your patience & buy ORNG please
Nah man, don’t sweat it! If any reaction were to be over saturated, it makes perfect sense it was the new Weeknd album, especially with that background you got going on! Love the vid!
I genuinely don’t think there is any other reactor on the platform that puts this much effort into their videos. That’s why people love Tabby so much. Thank you 🙏🏽
So happy he’s back, we need Kendrick reaction, Joey reaction, Gunna (but I don’t he think fucks with the vibers and flowers), make the comeback :) pls. TA1300 still best album of All time.
To me the steady pace/tone is exactly what makes this album so great. I can understand why some people find it boring but to me it just feels like an hour of him absolutely nailing that sound over and over and over again. Him and his team really showed a deep understanding of 80s electronic music here and there are so many little hits and textures to sink your teeth into in every song
In a good way it didn’t feel so steady to me, album tripped me tf out. I’m still trying to get used to this sound. I love the whole 80’s sound but Abel’s really next level with it. It feels hella transcendental.
Tabby, you never cease to amaze me with not only your editing skills, but also your ability to provide a new perspective on whatever you're reviewing or listening to. I hope you're doing well and I really appreciate all of the effort you're putting into everything you do. Have a great 2022 and I hope to see (and hear) more from you soon!

ay ty for takin the time to actually sit down and complete this man, even thru all the bullshit editing and processing. I can’t speak for everyone else but I genuinely wasn’t expectin a video til you mentioned it on twitter, so the fact that you did it even tho you really didn’t have to is hella appreciated. as long as you don’t feel pressured and you’re actually enjoyin yourself then keep on goin man. 🙌🏾♥️
Love these kind of reactions where you actually review and break down the album towards the end and let me tell ya this album is definitely worth deep diving and reviewing gotta be Abels most complex album by far
what a great reaction , the editing is ridiculous, the commentary is phenomenal and hilarious . final thoughts and theories are amazing as well, as i’ve been trying to piece together the theme and meaning of this album along with the music videos . this might very well be abel’s best album. once again tabby you were great.
HERE'S MY TAKE ON THE CONCEPT: since a lot of the musical and lyrical ideas feel very similar to his other albums regarding falling in love and losing someone... here's how i take this. the weeknd is the purgatory's dj and entertainment even in old age, unable to find peace and forever forced to sit in this loop of musical tragedy where his life and sorrows are washed up and engulfed in dance music, watching the crowds move on to the next life. i feel like it is this very layered concept that has both in-universe implications about the exaggerated character of the weeknd but also meta ideas about that persona and how the fans view it. they constantly never want the character of the weeknd to find peace and to move back to this claustrophobic and harsh world of the trilogy mixtapes. he's stuck in this tragic loop while the world dances around him and people beg to hear more heartbreak and revel in it, while a song like blinding lights that's about him regressing into this obsessive and fame-blinded mindset becomes some amazing hit. that's why the ending of dawn fm makes so much sense especially with the visuals from the livestream: he sheds a single tear as he watches the crowd he entertains with his endless loop of heartbreak move on like he is unable to, and maybe every time he spreads his arms wide towards the light and hopes he can move on. and if this is a trilogy as abel is implying, and after hours was the first part, this makes a lot of sense. in after hours, abel falls from stardom and back into his old ways. that makes perfect sense as the start of a story really breaking down the character of the weeknd and his flaws.
@@quoteth I also really like the meta aspect of it lol. One of the easiest criticisms that could be lobbed at Weeknd is that his lyrics are too samey, but in the context of the album it gives that idea a whole new light, this person that's just trapped in existential purgatory never able to move past their worst aspects and end up in a cycle of mistakes and regret (which I'm sure many can relate to). It's just 🤌
From the amazing edits, to the hilarious commentary. Plus the amazing added part in the end where you have gathered all your thoughts and gone through more listens of the album. I have never seen a more detailed and focused analysis of the album not to mention various details I haven't seen anyone else pick up on even myself like the song, "Here we go again", having a similar instrumental pattern to that of "Alone Again" on After Hours. Lastly, the way you connect it to the overall universe within this new trilogy along with the story it tells how Dawn is the purgatory state which sets up the path for him in the afterlife. Outstanding video overall, please keep the immense energy and passion you appear to put into your videos and reviews. You're one of a kind my guy!
Tabby, I first watched your reaction to Blonde back when I was a freshman in college. I am a completely different person now but I have loved watching your content through the years.
Abel's commentary on this album:...”picture the album being like the listener is dead. And they're stuck in this purgatory state, which I always imagined would be like being stuck in traffic waiting to reach the light at the end of the tunnel. And while you're stuck in traffic, they got a radio station playing in the car, with a radio host guiding you to the light and helping you transition to the other side. So it could feel celebratory, could feel bleak, however, you want to make it feel, but that's what 'The Dawn' is for me."
God, Tabby, I am so glad you’re making videos again. You always bring something new to each album and it’s so much fun seeing you enjoy albums! Been a subscriber since 2016 and you truly are UNMATCHED in the reaction world
damn this video improved my mood, love all the effort and I'm glad to still see you around, I remember discovering you through prequel three years ago and then really enjoying peachfuzz!, can't wait for whenever you will have something ready, you're really unique and I love your creativity (also Dawn FM is great and Less Than Zero followed by Phantom Regret made me cry for an hour, ESPECIALLY because of the poem)
glad to see an upload from you, tabs! this was a fun video and i honestly? embrace your humor. it what makes you you! & i snagged a peachfuzz sweater last time and i'm definitely planning on getting a hoodie this time! stay safe x
You massive overeditor, you're telling me you made this video in a few days and you managed to put in reflections of you and the interior on the window, the background noise when you cut to the younger you all in the intro sequence, made sure all of the pictures and videos you used are on the pink lines on the vaporware background, added subtle motions on the drums at 18:30 to match the beat and probably WAY more details that i probably missed in such a short amount of time? Are you kidding me, you put so many editors to shame wtf. Incredible job as per
No doubt the best reactor and reviewer on yt. U nailed it on the analysis at the end and would love it if you could further analyze later on if weeknd continues his saga with music videos. Also dope editing throighout the vid goddamn. What would u rate the album btw?
Tabby man I just watched your last three reaction vids back to back to back for the first time I’ve been meaning to get around to them. I’m just about the same age as you and we have extremely similar taste in music; all of my best friends like completely different music than me so it’s really great to have a content creator that I really vibe with their opinions and feel like I actually do know someone is out there that is similarly minded and appreciates the same art as me. Keep doing your thing, wherever it is that you do it big homie
I personally think the album is him reminiscing about his life before he died (until I bleed out is him dying) and Jim Carrey is leading him to the AFTER LIFE through a car radio as abel is driving through purgatory Edit:YOOOO YOU SAID MY THEORY AT THE END KINDA YOU JUST MADE IT BETTER LETS GO
Respect to tabby, not sure if you'll see this but your videos mean the world to me and has helped me a lot for some weird reason. This is exactly what I needed right now. I'm currently stuck in a hospital in Thailand 'cause I caught the damn virus so watching tabby videos makes me float away from real life for a couple of minutes. Just the idea of listening to your favorite artists with someone that shares the same taste/opinion is just magical. Thanks Tabby for being the best out there. Hope you're doing well!
Tabby I thought I was the only one who noticed the Alone Again Motif in Here we Go Again and seeing you acknowledge it made me smile. The work you put in to your videos is never recognized to the level it should be, your work is incredible man.
Holy... Damn bro, found you during the Saturation trilogy era and I've thought back then that you'r reaction are great. But this... This is next level. My fav reaction channel to larger part of music that I've been listening to. Thank you, really appreciate the content

Hey, I just copped a hoodie, how long do you think it will take to get to Australia? Much love.
Well at least it's a lot of ORNG in it i guess, love tabs
Tabby we love you King
I genuinely don’t think there is any other reactor on the platform that puts this much effort into their videos. That’s why people love Tabby so much. Thank you 🙏🏽
It really feels like I’m listening to the album for the first time again

I was laughing the whole video, such a masterpiece. and I freaking love the album, it's been on repeat since it came out.
This intro alone was worth the wait

For the rest of the day I won’t be able to take the word “weekussy” out of my head thank you Tabby
moment of silence for the effort that went into pouring this video in front of us rn

ok
Gasoline’s video enforces this theory
The voice he used on Gasoline, I would love to hear him do that more.
he actually did that voice thing in one of the songs of After Hours !
