It definitely left me with questions for myself. When I heard it the first time after the live, if I would’ve been standing up I probably would have sat down. Shit was heavy 🖤
@@kenzalazrak3964 I did too at first but I was playing it through a speaker while listening to the whole album. Maybe if you play it through headphones and open your mind you might like it. If you try to listen to it again and have the mindset “this is really weird” then you won’t be able to enjoy it. Just some advice from someone who also didn’t initially like it!
I always come back to Phantom Regret whenever I'm starting to feel angry or sad. His voice is soooo comforting. It feels like a father is talking to me
Not really a song, maybe as the epilogue, because it's more of a poem recited by Jim Carrey, but still it shapes the album beautifully, concluding it in a mesmerising way💞
Less than zero is such a great a song. It sounds like something that will be played on the end credits of a 80's movie. It's like a Save Your Tears Jr. And of course Jim Carrey killed it in phantom regret. It's so scary and relieving at the same time. Chapter 3 will be crazier🌅
Less Than Zero was personally my favorite track on the album, easy 10/10 for me. I loved Save Your Tears on After Hours and Less Than Zero felt like an improved version of Save Your Tears in my opinion, so I loved it
Less than Zero is the hidden treasure, for me, it’s the most comforting song ever, nostalgic and magical, beautiful 🤍🤍🤍 his chorus is so fulfilling bro I’m so in love with this song, just painfully pleasant. bittersweet just like life.
Less Than Zero is definitely a top 3 for me. God I love this song, cuz I can't get it outta my head. From the sad heartwrenching lyrics to the upbeat, peaceful rhythm. To me this song encapsulates the feeling of freeing yourself from all your regrets and accepting things for how they are... as you finally let yourself move on
The acoustic guitar for the last 4 bars is not only a transition, it’s a hint toward part 3 “After Life”. The light, natural sound of the acoustic guitar symbolizes the reunification with the universe and nature, Heaven. Jim finally pushed him through the door. I bet After Life is a whole new lighter and more organic sound, way less synth and processing. That’s just my guess. This album is a 8.75 to me.
They might even due a quad/extra long album release because his "sins" Paradiso, Purgatorio, Inferno 4444444444 only remember 4 If he "The Weeknd" still carries regret and his sins need to be burned if he goes with this theme expect Blinding Light of Hell before the clarity of Heaven. We will only know once he goes on a staircase or a highway
Phantom Regret strikes a chord in a way that no other songs or tracks from any other album has been able to. I know a lot of people think Jim has gotten a little crazy as he's gotten older, but he knows EXACTLY what he's talking about when it comes to life and what it all means. I've listened to the track 100 times, and I still at least tear up every time. It makes me scared but also feel at peace at the same time somehow.
Everyone keeps talking about the next album... guys, it won't be out for at least 1.5-2 years which is how long Abel waits in between albums. With Abel, there is ALWAYS another album on the horizon, he literally said in his remix of Drunk in Love that he's going to be dropping albums forever (in his words, " All I wanna do is go on tour and drop albums, and if I live forever, probably drop 100,000" so basically he will always make music). However everyone already hyping up ch. 8 as if we're getting it anytime soon is wild. Appreciate what we have now
Since we know it’s coming, and relatively soon, why wouldn’t it be wondered about? Especially since it’s part of a trilogy. I think you can wholly appreciate every aspect of this album and the storyline, while still being curious and excited about the next album and the continuation of the story Abel is telling.
Abel knows when to drop a album I kinda started getting a little bored with the music that was available don’t get me wrong they are great but when that started happening Dawn FM was released which hyped me up again so he’s doing something great! 😃
At 12:21… if you listen to The Weeknd’s vocals in the background, he says “Take back my life”… and when you watch the live stream during this part, he lifts his hands up and looks up to the sky (toward Heaven and/or God). 🙌🏼 Powerful 😭
Bro, this is the best reaction video for the track “phantom regret by Jim”. The way you explained every line and your genuine reaction gave me goosebumps. This track really is a masterpiece and the way jim narrated it made everyone cry. The best and finest way of ending the album.
Tbh I think Jim’s poetry is the best of the album 😌 it literaly gave me chills the first time I heard it especialy ‘you got to be Heaven to see Heaven’
This entire album and everything that has come with it has been amazing 🖤 I love this track and Phantom Regrets is haunting. I still tear up. He put out a series of tweets last night that were really interesting. Thank you so much for putting in all the work to bring us these reactions even though they keep blocking them. Appreciate you sir!! Can’t wait for the next chapter in this trilogy! 🔥🖤
I heard this for the first time a few days ago. I had the noise canceling headphones in and this track just had me rethinking life. They say it’s never too late, but sometimes it unfortunately might be.
I was just walking home from an errand when Phantom Regret started and I had to stop and like THINK about my life. I wouldn't say it changed my life but it helped me on a long day and honestly that's why I love it. Poetry just hitting the soul.
Every time you asked if Jim Carrey had bars, I couldn't help wondering if people now would think Dr. Seuss had bars, because Jim's delivery reminded me so much of Dr. Seuss poems.
Less than Zero and Phantom Regret closing out Dawn FM is so beautiful , emotional and powerful Abel's voice has never sounded better than on LTZ and that anthemic chorus is spectacular It made me cry then Phantom Regret had me weeping There are portions of that I want read at my funeral someday It's brilliant and thought provoking I seriously felt a deeper spiritual connection with this last two tracks 😭 What an experience Dawn FM is Wow
I've been listening to the album a couple times. Now I am hearing the album. Honestly I didn't expect The Weeknd's album to transcend my existence. And Jim... Wow..
The dying in ur arms I also think is a call back to the literal movie less than zero when Julian dies in Blair’s arms (also an 80s movie). Loved the song and the references!🔥
Idk if anyone else noticed too but if you get a chance. The beginning of the album connects to the end of the album. The birds chirping and orchestral sounds. As if speaking of purgatory is one thing. I feel like that connection gives it that little nudge of making the album itself in purgatory. Very cool stuff
I’m sorry but Less Than Zero is my favorite song of the album, it came out of nowhere and definitely reminded me of Afterthought by Joji & BENEE, which is my favorite song
Brooooooo!!1!1!! Phantom Regret transitions to Dawn FM!!! This really completes the sense of "purgatory", since the album technically never ends, just like being indefinitely stuck in purgatory state
The album entirely is a masterpiece of its own and i love every song in its own right respectively. In my opinion the album is rated like this, and subject to change with more listens. Comment your track list orders too, I’d love to see everyone else’s list! Mine is as follows: 1: Is There Someone Else? ** 2: Less Than Zero 3: Best Friends 4: Phantom Regret 5: Out of Time 6: Starry Eyes** (This is at 6 but tbh “someone else” and this need to be listened together in harmony, it’s just amazing!) 7: Sacrifice 8: Take My Breath 9: Gasoline 10: Don’t Break My Heart 11: Here We Go Again 12: I Heard You’re Married 13: Dawn FM 14: Tale By Quincy (Because of the lead into “Out of Time”) 15: How Do I Make You Love Me 16: Every Angel Is Terrifying (I live by train tracks and this song always screws with me, thinking a train is passing! Lol) This is my listed order but everything is a bop not a reflection of good and bad just all good 👍🏼
I know people say that there’s no way he’s releasing the next album anytime soon. That it’s going to be about another 1/2 years… but something inside of me thinks…would he be teasing this much if it weren’t coming out sooner?? What if he surprises us??
So far the album of the year contenders for 2023 are Adele 30, Dawn FM, and Evening with Silk Sonic. Ranking those three for AOTY, my list would be: 1. Silk Sonic (AOTY winner), 9.3/10 2. Dawn FM, 8.5/10 3. Adele (wouldn’t even nominate this one, but you know there’s no way she won’t get nominated), 7/10
A 7 ? Not a radio hit ? Huh ? You had it down great with all the other songs. Then you review ‘Less Than Zero’ like that ? This is his ‘Save Your Tears’ track from this album. A smash. A radio phenom. One of, if not the best songs on the entire album. And that’s tough to do considering how great this album is. Saved the best for last
I love your review but I believe this is going to be a major radio hit because its resonates with people on a whole different level. Its sad but we all can dance and get lost in it!!!
Phantom regret was seriously therapy
It definitely left me with questions for myself. When I heard it the first time after the live, if I would’ve been standing up I probably would have sat down. Shit was heavy 🖤
Jim's final part is so epic and also a perfect ending. And if you listen with your eyes closed man... forget it. 💧
I did this in the shower .. it’s unbelievable
I disagree.. I find it extremely weird..
@@kenzalazrak3964 I respect your opinion!
@@kenzalazrak3964 I did too at first but I was playing it through a speaker while listening to the whole album. Maybe if you play it through headphones and open your mind you might like it.

Literally start my day with it now. It’s my alarm on my phone. You CANT wake up mad at this.
Wow people are messed up
I cry everytime i listen to Phantom Regret
@@coreymuilenburg4749 lol who the f are u little trolly boy, get a life 😂
@@coreymuilenburg4749 you good bro?
I would want this album to be played at my funeral. The ending with Jim’s poem is perfect.
omg yes!
That’s exactly what I said
PHANTOM REGRET IS 100% THE BEST SONG FROM THE FUCKING ALBUM. IT’S A 10/10.
Not really a song, maybe as the epilogue, because it's more of a poem recited by Jim Carrey, but still it shapes the album beautifully, concluding it in a mesmerising way💞
I need more people to be absolutely fired up about this track! THANK YOU
I guess you really didn't like the album because that is no song.. thats poetry
Not a song, out of date is 10/10
It’s the only one I liked
Less than zero is such a great a song. It sounds like something that will be played on the end credits of a 80's movie. It's like a Save Your Tears Jr.
And of course Jim Carrey killed it in phantom regret. It's so scary and relieving at the same time. Chapter 3 will be crazier🌅

Tbf, 1.5-2 years flies by real quick.
Abel knows when to drop a album I kinda started getting a little bored with the music that was available don’t get me wrong they are great but when that started happening Dawn FM was released which hyped me up again so he’s doing something great! 😃
I would argue that Less than Zero is more of a radio hit than Take my Breath. My favorite song on the album.
@@nickjames6598 it was released as a single over there?
@@nickjames6598 both of those were released as singles, though. Less than Zero hasn’t
@@nickjames6598 Oh. Well, you’re responding to my comment about Less than Zero, and this video is a reacts to Less than Zero. Hence, the confusion.

Whoa! i just caught that OMG this is why i love the weeknd
Less than zero and out of time are my favourite tracks from this album hands down.
Phantom Regret made me cry. This album is beautiful.
There's no way this man just rated 'Less Than Zero' a 7.5💀
😂😂
Fr bruhh🗿
Issa 11/10
It was a 6 for me at first now issa 100

Bro phantom regret is something else. Just beautiful
This song is life changing! Jim deserves a Grammy for this!
Love this song, it’s the one that’s been on my mind all day
Phantom regret makes you think about your own life!!! Simply amazing!
This entire album and everything that has come with it has been amazing 🖤 I love this track and Phantom Regrets is haunting. I still tear up. He put out a series of tweets last night that were really interesting. Thank you so much for putting in all the work to bring us these reactions even though they keep blocking them. Appreciate you sir!! Can’t wait for the next chapter in this trilogy! 🔥🖤
What about last night's tweets? Jim carrey? Where do i find?
@@testimusicali6445 Jim Carrey narrated the whole album 🖤
@@testimusicali6445 I deleted the link, but it’s just on The Weeknd’s Twitter page.
@@SparkimusPrime ohhh weeknd twitter.. ok i go search...thanks...am really curious what jim tweeted...
@@SparkimusPrime hi Carrie 🙂 i went to the weeknd twitter but couldn't find jim carry (spelling?) anywhere. What were his tweets about?
Less than zero will and be a radio hit just watch just like Save your tears blew up
Exactly, wait a few months and it will get annoying :(
nope 😞
I hope the next album comes out late cause we need to enjoy this era like after hours. I wouldn’t be mad tbh if it came out in longer than 2 years
Phantom Regret is honesty one of my favorite parts. I cried when I first heard it, its so beautiful 😩
First he used to make songs having angel's voice with devil words now he makes songs with sad lyrics with happy beats. He is a genius
Jim Carrey.
2 words.
Legend Personified.
Abel, you are a genius for getting Carrey in your album.
Carrey has a great voice for radio.. Not gonna lie.
How crazy would it be if daft punk took Jim’s part and made an extended cut. That would be insane!
The Weeknd - Goat
I’m glad this hit everyone else like it hit me. Every time I listen to it, it’s put me on the verge of tears.
I really Love Less than Zero, probably my favourite on the album, I can imagining the audience singing this back to him when he’s in concert.
Ernest, I just wanna tell you I appreciate all of your content so much.
Brooo the ,,CAAUSEE III CAAN’TT TAKEEEE IT OUT OFF MY HEEEEEEAAADD”.I feel goosebumps in my scalp :))
I heard this for the first time a few days ago. I had the noise canceling headphones in and this track just had me rethinking life. They say it’s never too late, but sometimes it unfortunately might be.
This song would go awwwf in a stadium.. The chorus..
7.5 !!!! seriously!!!👀👀..its 10/10...Less than zero easily comes in top 3 man!!🔥🔥🔥..It will grow on you like crazy ...same like save your tears 😌😌😌...
Seriously !! Instantly loved it. It just keeps getting better with each listen 🔥
@@soliskeniaAbsolutely 🔥🔥🙌🏻
ok
7.5? Cmon now, this is the best song on the album.
I know everyone has their own taste,but i think you are sniffing glue,rating this song 7 out 10.It is a 9.5
ok
IMO, 3rd best song in album tied with Sacrifice, and both are only behind Take My Breath and Gasoline
One of the best closing songs on a album 🙌🏾
Less than zero and is there someone else are literally perfect
The Purgatory state was shown in the MV of Gasolin, when he was in that "club". At some point you could see that ppl there werent happy
“ Now you rather leave me than to watch me die in your arms “ reduced me to tears 😭🥺
Jim Carey needs to read all audiobooks all the time.
I was just walking home from an errand when Phantom Regret started and I had to stop and like THINK about my life. I wouldn't say it changed my life but it helped me on a long day and honestly that's why I love it. Poetry just hitting the soul.
Every time you asked if Jim Carrey had bars, I couldn't help wondering if people now would think Dr. Seuss had bars, because Jim's delivery reminded me so much of Dr. Seuss poems.
Phantom Regret ends with nature sounds just like Dawn FM starts, just like a purgatory state the album is cyclic.
the "i cant get you outta my head", always gives me goosebumps
Less than Zero and Phantom Regret closing out Dawn FM is so beautiful , emotional and powerful
Abel's voice has never sounded better than on LTZ and that anthemic chorus is spectacular
It made me cry then Phantom Regret had me weeping
There are portions of that I want read at my funeral someday
It's brilliant and thought provoking
I seriously felt a deeper spiritual connection with this last two tracks 😭
What an experience Dawn FM is
Wow
I wanna get Phantom Regret on like a poster or painting. Something solid cuz damn, it hit like a truck
🔥It's true these lyrics can be life changing! Altogether album at least a 9, and Jim was amazing
I've been listening to the album a couple times. Now I am hearing the album. Honestly I didn't expect The Weeknd's album to transcend my existence. And Jim... Wow..
Phantom regret is a masterpiece ❤️ his lines hit hard
Phantom Regret still gets me in tears
Phantom regret questions my existence, achievements basically everything.
The dying in ur arms I also think is a call back to the literal movie less than zero when Julian dies in Blair’s arms (also an 80s movie). Loved the song and the references!🔥
Idk if anyone else noticed too but if you get a chance. The beginning of the album connects to the end of the album. The birds chirping and orchestral sounds.

And please don't forget to react to the Weeknd's songs where you belong, nomads, in vein and devil may cry
Chills..jim blew me away this was absolutely incredible ...felt just like you ..amazing breakdown thanku so much love and God bless always x
This song was the first I listened to when this album came out 2 years age
I love "less than zero" the most in this album
That acoustic part literally gave me a flashback to birds pt1 ending😔😔🖐️🖐️🖐️🖐️
Brooooooo!!1!1!!
Phantom Regret transitions to Dawn FM!!!
This really completes the sense of "purgatory", since the album technically never ends, just like being indefinitely stuck in purgatory state
Your reaction was my same reaction too I was like bruh I’m reaching a whole state of evolution listening to this right now, it’s a fucking masterpiece
Jim has all of us rethinking our existence and definitely changed our lives on this one! So damn beautiful! 🥲🌅🖤
This album is a vibe…easy listen for me! An 8 sounds about the same for me too 😊.
This is beautiful. A HIT obviously.
I hope another album this year. Grammys may need to be canceled for 2022.
The album entirely is a masterpiece of its own and i love every song in its own right respectively. In my opinion the album is rated like this, and subject to change with more listens. Comment your track list orders too, I’d love to see everyone else’s list! Mine is as follows:
1: Is There Someone Else? **
2: Less Than Zero
3: Best Friends
4: Phantom Regret
5: Out of Time
6: Starry Eyes** (This is at 6 but tbh “someone else” and this need to be listened together in harmony, it’s just amazing!)
7: Sacrifice
8: Take My Breath
9: Gasoline
10: Don’t Break My Heart
11: Here We Go Again
12: I Heard You’re Married
13: Dawn FM
14: Tale By Quincy (Because of the lead into “Out of Time”)
15: How Do I Make You Love Me
16: Every Angel Is Terrifying (I live by train tracks and this song always screws with me, thinking a train is passing! Lol)

No won’t happen lol see you in 2042
2023 or 2024 definitely
So far the album of the year contenders for 2023 are Adele 30, Dawn FM, and Evening with Silk Sonic. Ranking those three for AOTY, my list would be:
1. Silk Sonic (AOTY winner), 9.3/10
2. Dawn FM, 8.5/10
3. Adele (wouldn’t even nominate this one, but you know there’s no way she won’t get nominated), 7/10
Less than zero is one of my favourite tracks from this album n the last track Phantom regret Jim was incredible.
A 7 ? Not a radio hit ? Huh ? You had it down great with all the other songs. Then you review ‘Less Than Zero’ like that ? This is his ‘Save Your Tears’ track from this album. A smash. A radio phenom. One of, if not the best songs on the entire album. And that’s tough to do considering how great this album is. Saved the best for last
Phantom Regret is a 10.
this is one of the best instrumentals
If theirs one song on the album that might replicate Blinding Lights success it’s Less Than Zero it’s my favourite song on the album 🔥
Top 3 for sure, perfectly placed in the album definitely helped like you said
I’ll play this with Abel July 19th, 2023 in Milwaukee!
Phantom Regret wasn’t even a song but I fucking loved it!!!!
Jim talking like this really makes me think about thriller when someone speaks exactly that way 🤔 just me ?
less than zero sounds like a mix of save your tears and blinding lights
It’s a happy and sad song all in one.. amazing
The track has a great instrumental., that made the song bop.
Can I say, the instrumental, sounds so familiar to The Doobie Brothers hit - What A Fool Believes.
Now its time for a live performance
Phantom Regret is uplifting.✨✨
This album a straight 9.2
After hours for now is a 9.27 I can see myself fucking with this more once I get the story fully
After hours, Dawn FM, I wonder if y’all realise you are seeing another Trilogy being made.
Abel Tesfaye
Love the song less than Zero
Phantom R. Sounds like Daft Punk (Rmdom Access memories era)
thought you would’ve liked this one more than you did, imo one of the best on the album
Phantom Regret has given me an existential crisis
It reminds of Save Your Tears since it kinda has the same beat
I love your review but I believe this is going to be a major radio hit because its resonates with people on a whole different level. Its sad but we all can dance and get lost in it!!!
Weeknd must drop a remix of less than zero featuring halsey (or) lana del rey 💯
Halsey!?!!!!! No.
or selena 😂
What was the following line about?.... ""all specters are haunted by their own lack of trust""?
After hours was so good its like traveling in space for me its music porn. Dawn arrives and I'm done this music is too much its insane ♥️
