I'm not sure if I've said this before, but I am terrified, and I mean TERRIFIED of death, I imagine that's what pushes me to listen to albums related to death in some way, they help soothe my fears of it, if only for a bit. But I will never truly understand what happens after death until I see it for myself, and for that, it terrifies me. Another way I can think of it is that, to put it simply:
Every angel is terrifying.

The Weeknd
(I’m so sorry for any grammar or spelling mistakes and lowkey yapping I hope you enjoy 😛)
I’ve always LOVED The Weeknd and I absolutely adore his creative and stylistic choices for albums especially Dawn FM. Anyways I think it’s really interesting how he has more than one trilogy even if it’s not outright in your face being labeled as one like Thursday, EoS, and HoB. After the release of Hurry Up Tomorrow I was beyond ecstatic!! Almost instantly I noticed some similar song titles that went along with past albums or projects. For example, Escape from LA in Abel’s album After Hours and Take Me Back To LA, or I Was Never there on MDM and I Can’t Wait To Get There. There are countless other examples and I think it’s really interesting, especially since Abel said HUT would be his last studio album with The Weeknd persona. I also think it’s intriguing how the titles fit together in chronological points of time. After Hours, meaning around 3am-5am, Dawn FM, being when the Sun rises, and Hurry Up Tomorrow being after the run raises, as it’s a new day. Well even with the titles of the albums and songs how are these albums connected? In After Hours it opens with “Alone Again.” Abel has just been broken up with and as you go through the album, you see his more self destructive and paranoid behavior. He overdoes in the song “Faith” and this marks the death of the characters old persona. Then we transition over to Dawn FM. The whole story of Dawn FM basically shows Abel stuck in this purgatory state. Jim Carrey, the Narrator on the radio station follows Abel as he confronts his past sins and regrets. The radio helps “guide him through his transition” as he lets go of his ego and toxic tendencies. Take my breath goes back to After Hours, also signifying his death. In Phantom Regret by Jim, he talks about how if you want to “see heaven” you must let go of yourself and become it. At the end of the album Jim talks about stepping to the light, which usually relates to heaven. This brings us to Hurry Up Tomorrow. Abel has finally reached this paradise and is “reborn.”
IT'S 5 AM MY TIME AGAIN, I'VE SOAKEN UP THE MOON CAN'T SLEEP.
Okay, asking for an opinion here,
What do you think your favorite concept album says about you?
My roommate’s favorite concept album is ‘Dawn FM’ by The Weeknd and mine is ‘The Wall’ by Pink Floyd (though I am very fond of ‘Days of Future Passed’ by The Moody Blues).
Does anyone else have a favorite concept album that resonates with them, and if so, do you think that particular album says anything about you psychologically?
