The Weeknd – Dawn FM

Just put this one on for the first time since it came out and holy cow did I forget how crystal clear every sound is. Like everyone else has said this is such a crisp and beautiful pressing.

Good album and stellar pressing. Super clean and clear, excellent mastering and top notch product. Sounds great.

I was very hesitant to buy this cassette at first due to its high price. Finally, after a two year period, adding a Hurry Up Tomorrow cassette to my collection and seeing that it's not sold out yet, I decided to give it a chance. Athough the reviews for this release were in general very good, they weren't particularly excellent, so I hoped for the best possible result. No worries... Magnificent sound, immaculate production, minimal tape hiss, one of the best sounding modern releases in my collection. But asking almost 30 € for a single cassette album and basic J-Card is seriously a joke.

Absolutely beautiful pressing, with really great sound. Almost felt like a completely different listening experience.

Pressing sounds really good - I'm not even that disappointed that it's standard black, I think it matches the cover really well! I am a bit disappointed at the lack of any inserts (printed sleeves, poster, etc) but regardless a great release.

Incredible sound quality! The bass is heavy and the whole thing sounds clear and loud. My copy unfortunately isn't very marbled but it still looks really pretty!

An awesome pressing.
As noted below, very clean and balanced sound.
Probably one of the best sounding vinyls in my collection.

Fantastic pressing and quality of vinyl. Album is an amazing listen, front to back.

Fav Weeknd album, interesting concept done well, immersive, beautiful, haunting, awesome.

Went to goodwill a couple days ago while I was having my battery tested at the O’reilly auto parts in the same shopping center in Wahiawa HI. They had a bunch of sealed target records: Avaril Levine x8, Babs Streisand x4, Mariah Carey Xmas x3. Some dude I forget x2, Taylor swift x1, and two of The Weeknd. I took this one and the Taylor Swift dor $4.97 each. Others were also $4.97 or $8.97. I would have taken the other Dawn FM to resell (going for $25 in mint condition on the marketplace) but I didn’t have enough money. Also got 4 used LPs for $.99 each (buy 3 get 1 free) that are had discs that looked NM and jackets between VG-NM. Jimmy Dorsey’s greatest hits was NM/NM still in shrink. I slipped a loose 12” of Sly Fox - Let’s Go All The way, and got their five finger discount applied to that one. Herb Alpert’s Ninth is NM in VG- jacket that is nice other than all three sides have been taped. Bouzoukee music of Greece is NM/NM. And finally Chuck Mangione in Concert - Land Of Make Believe NM in jacket conservatively graded VG but is aweful close to VG+. I paid less than $14 for all.

I’ll come back and update this after I listen to Dawn FM.
