Thanks Jose3030.

It's through iTunes.

Interested to see what the opinion on this one's gonna be. That Pusher Love Girl is super Prince-y...

Shit kinda bangs. Timbo mighta been the smart choice, and I was somewhat hesitant after hearing he was gonna do the album. This Please Don't Hold The Wall shit is crazy dope.

him being on Fallon for a week ain't gonna help that either after watching what looked like pretty ho-hum SNL performances.

That said, I agree.

But this shit is pretty good tho.

they need someone to come out and sell 500k

It's my new "My Love". Shit is beautiful.

some of these songs, he's showing his ass on.

It's excellent, really good work from Timbo too, which is a relief. Great follow up to Futuresex/Lovesounds

cause he'll never win on the music.

Get real. Usher still winning.

I wouldn't put it past him.

He knows how to put together an album. Not sure who the other white guy is though.

It's a combination of the two. What has Tim been doing since the last JT album?

Come on sis, you heard the duds Tim was putting out since 07. Them terrible future shock albums, working with Madonna, Keri Hilson, Ashlee Simpson, Chris Cornell, etc. He went through a dry spell. Him and JT are a winning combination.

them Shock Value joints had some bangers! Your overall point is well-taken, though.

... the second one was trying to ride the first ones coat tails and didn't hit as near as SV1. I'm yet to listen to 20/20 but I cannot wait!

Compared

dude brininging back the extended cut

... but is yet to have a good album. His best to me is Something Else, and I haven't heard his first joint under the star track label but his long hair disco sampling days album didn't hit me like something else. Other than that his albums are more like compilations. No where near cohesive.

Surprised to hear someone say 'Something Else' isn't a cohesive album. It definitely sounds like it is to me.

not a song i dont like. even fs/ls had a few duds. the highlights were just so high.

bravo JT

I'd say the singles were stronger on his first two but this flows together really well. Tim went for a more "analog" sound here and it really works for the most part. Suit and Tie and Mirrors work better in the context of the album but still feel like pretty blatant pandering to Top 40 stations and soccer moms. Feel like he was listening to a ton of Radiohead while making this one in its attempts to create real atmosphere.

spaceship coupe. that shit is jammin.

timberland ain't done nothing more for timberlake than he did with ginuwine.

and timberlake is a marginal talent with the complextion for the protection.

U r amazing...U know when people use the word "hater" and how shallow that word has become?

Well, you have def. lived up to that moniker...U don't like shit that didn't come out after 2000...lol...except the acts you name-check at the end of every post...And most of those acts (beyond Kelly who on the real has released strong material) are either dead or haven't released shit in ages...

His main issue with JT is that he's white.

Bee Gees
Steely Dan
Teena Marie
Boz Scaggs
Dr. John

etc

Massive doesn't do it justice...

only culture bandits would even dare entertain saying timberlake's name in the same sentence as MJ.

Michael Jackson changed the course of music twice as a kid and as a adult.

timberlake has gotten small crums and been given some honor when in reality he is a puppet light in the musical cakes.

folks ain't got no standards no more

We all know who MJ is and was...Most folks on this board loved the man...

But unlike you we don't use Mike to put other acts down at EVERY turn...

I'll say it again...I'm not a HUGE Timberlake fan...But at least go at dude on the music tip and chill with the shit he has no control over...

Dude is white...That's very well apparent...We know white folks have gotten over for years...And still do...

But this is dude's third album....If you find the music lacking, I dig that...But as usually you are going at this with a Ham-fisted way...

you don't see the big picture and this turkey was on some picture recently on his toes still in a MJ pose.

i hung out with a real soul brother the other day a good Homie who said point blank about timberlake that he is worse than Corey Feldman at jacking MJ and I didn't say a word and cracked up.

you see the difference is that I hang out with real Black folks Old school who call it real and don't downplay the obvious.

timberfake been on Michael Jackson worse than Bubbles ever was.

you can let that turkey slide i can't s.

It's a mix....He's cool with giving some praise to white cats...That is if they released an album before 1999...Hell, maybe even 1990...lol

oh okay, so he just doesn't like new ish besides Kells.

>oh okay, so he just doesn't like new ish besides Kells.


Bingo^^^^^^

And he doesn't like anyone who threatens his favorites...

and accurate.

I mean, if someone less controversial than maxxx had said it, it would not be a big deal.

The album IS hit and miss, imho

(But shit... what ISN'T these days?)

I'm streaming the album now and I'm generally enjoying a lot of what I hear... but at the same time I am not feeling the overpowering urge to listen to it again once I'm done.

But hey... I listened to FutureSex/LoveSounds only once too.

(On the other hand, I listened to Justified like 13,736 times)

I don't cosign the racial element of maxxx's post--though I understand how one could arrive at that. I'm not concerned about whether being white allows JT to do certain things... I'm just really bugged by the feeling of insincerity and smarminess that surrounds so much of his work.

I just don't BELIEVE him.

I don't know why that should matter in such an all-around cynical age, but it does.

I want something I can FEEL.

Not just ear candy.

I also want to stop stealing Joe Corn Mo's posting style.

But I generally agree with your assessment.

For me, JT just is not a good singer. I dig most of the music...but the singing is really thin and lacking soul.

he is too light in the cakes to ever bring the goods.

while at the same time not completely overwhelming it either.

>The album IS hit and miss, imho
>(But shit... what ISN'T these days?)

Not even these days, Im sure 99% of music release was hit or miss back then too.

>But hey... I listened to FutureSex/LoveSounds only once too.

I don't see what's the big deal with FuturSex/LoveSounds too. Of course it wasn't total garbage and I wouldn't say that it was bad either but I've never felt the need to listen to that album again after 1st listen (I went back to a couple of songs though)

I don't think he's being dishonest though, his music really fits his public figure.

Because,in maxxx's defense, he has liked some things post 2000 like Joe's "Signature" or Bilal's "A Love surreal" for example. He has also aknowledged Bruno Mars's talent and has never been harsh on Miguel (or maybe I just didn't see it). Is that JT's album so good that no one can dislike it ?

not at all. I just notice a lot of his posts are black artist >>> white artist but i was corrected above because he does give a few pilgrims their props.

Nah..u guys gotta keep up with Maxx's narrative...

The new JT album is better than what I expected...Nothing groundbreaking, but better than a lot of what passes for R&B these days...

But this^^^^ is not hyperbole...And I wouldn't be mad at folks shitting on it because Timberlake is not the end all to be all...He's not worth the energy...


The thing with Maxx though is he shits on ANYONE he deems a challenge to his beloved acts...

Like I said, I'm down with getting at the white boy for the fact he came out unscathed after that JJ nipplegate fiasco...And I looked at him sideways during the Prince squabble...

But people shouldn't play dumb or be naive here...There's a pattern with Maxx when it comes to these things...

If it was just about dude being critical of the music then it's all good...

But we all know that ain't the case...lol

>The thing with Maxx though is he shits on ANYONE he deems a
>challenge to his beloved acts...

Surely not Michael? or Stevie (LOL)?

And if it's Ursher... maxxx generally calls Ursher a peanut-head turkey.

So who?

but he will also say that Ursher is better than JT which I don't agree with. At least not as far as making albums.

Sure he calls Usher a turkey....

But there's a reason why he always says Usher is better than Timberlake...And in terms of MJ...The threat is NOT in dude ever reaching the King of Pop's level...

Maxx doesn't like the idea of the white boy blasting off with MJ's sound that first time around...And then evolving into some other shit where he is now being looked at as the biggest solo male act around today that's not catering to 13 year olds...

There's a lot of things going on here...lol...There's racial bias... the fact that Maxx is out of touch when it comes to some of the music of today...the fact that at times he's shown some pretty laughable taste when it comes to music (most alarmingly hip-hop)...

But hey, I've been called a weirdo too..The thing is, however, I never let my own obsessions get in the way...

If something is good, it's good...

Point blank, period...

You're right about that and I've said it myself, he's particulary hard on those who challenge his champions. Prince is the perfect example of this. But I don't think JT is a threat to any of his champions and certainly not R Kelly.

He's a threat as long as he overshadows his favorites that make music today...

And the white element looms large...lol..

I'm a race man myself...But dude turns that shit up to 11...

problem for JT there is he knows he couldn't carry kellz stepper's shoes.

kellz tuned down working with him as well.


and you have worked with the real MJ why you gonna work with a lite clone one?

pure and simple. i like him on snl and that show should have been canceled easily 25 years ago, however his routines are funny and entertaining.

however timberlake is like me watching silver spoons the kid who has it all, however its so shallow and for all the hype that mayo turkey gets its not there.

marginal singer, writer, dancer, actor.

he ain't no george michael.

turkey ain't never writing no "careless whisper" or father figure"

and what exactly is timberfluff doing that ginuwine didn't already do again?

if timberlake was black he would be lucky to be Bobby Valentino's opening act at the drive thru of a red lobster's.

what current artist is making better albums than JT?

>what current artist is making better albums than JT?

and it ain't even close (c)

I will check that out

but somehow even it ended up growing on me

Word!

that turkey and the media.

anybody who grew up on Michael Jackson and heard him at his best and timberlake at his best ain't even thinking of no Justin Timberlake they would tell that white boy you need to hang out with donny osmond and polish up your game son.

Timberlake gotta be turning tricks in somebody's office or something because that turkey is marginal as they come

a maxx reply equals at the very least like 5 other replies.

pure pop puppet. marginal as all get up.

and while i ain't knocked out by Mars at least he ain't that corny and Mars's band spanks JT's.

both are broke MJ's however Mars actually doesn't try so hard all the time.

The Tennessee Kids son Bruno's band. It ain't even close.

I will say, Bruno is a better pop melody writer than JT though. And technically a better singer. But he doesn't have the songs that *move* me. JT's got them. "Broke version of...." all you want, his songs move. Outside of "Locked Out of Heaven" Bruno has nothing that doesn't sound like an American Idol contestant's first single for me. But I wouldn't pit these two against each other, when both are eatin' off plates they deservedly earned.

Here's the thing about JT that I'll doubt you'll accept. Dude is charismatic as fuck. And he's surrounded himself post-boy band with team of dudes who elevate that charisma musically. Is he seeing the "great?" Probably not. But is he seeing his contemporaries? Yeah. Ten fold.

charisma, personality and boring with a thin voice which has no turning point.

truth is though Bruno Mars wears a bunch of influences on his sleeves, he can get out and play and do it. timberlake can't do no Bob Marley tribute with no sting on stage. sorry it ain't happening and Bruno's band can groove and is versatile.

JT's band is like some supper house band and i heard them do the jacksons's shake your body down to the ground" and that whole performance felt like it was funky for a retirement home.

Timberlake ain't seeing nobody on the real.

he just got the right complextion and he is a marginal talent.

always been and always will be a lite in the cakes broke MJ and i can name better white boys for that title and role than timberfluff.

all the polish and shine can't hide the lite in the cakes chops that turkey has.

i agreed with kayne west about suit and tie and i can't stand kayne musically, so sorry Mr.Charlie try again

>i agreed with kayne west about suit and tie and i can't stand
>kayne musically, so sorry Mr.Charlie try again

the most happpening white boy, leave it to bieber is.

also lay z is on some puffy can i be down with you thang. his wife is the superstar by default in that household

>pure pop puppet. marginal as all get up.


I agree. Hear the album, not bad at all..I'm treating it like the movie Zero Dark Thirty.. No replay value for me where as Hurt Locker I can watch over and over as listen to FS/LS

Admittedly I've always been lukewarm on his voice, but he does sound vocally inspired here. And I like that he and Timbaland once again crafted a consistent sound/vibe, which makes for a cohesive album.

"Strawberry Bubblegum" is dope, as is "Don't Hold Up The Wall". That Girl" is smooth. "Blue Ocean Floor" is a nice closer (though I feel a more emotive and dramatic singer like Bjork or Wendy Stubbs (Alpha), would have blown this out of the water). And I'm probably one of a handful of people that actually likes "Suit & Tie" (though Jay's verse is unnecessary, and the "screwed" beat change-up is boring)...

However, I think the sound may be a bit TOO consistent. I don't know if it was the combination of heavy drums and fuzzy basslines, but after awhile, I felt the songs began to run into each other, and were hard to distinguish. The musical backdrops lacked enough nuances to really pull me in. I wish they'd have utilized his band more, provided a few more organic moments to contrast the harder mechanical beats.

This was especially important given the length of the songs. If you're going to make 6-8 minute songs, you have to have enough elements to hold a person's attention or at least set a mood that hypnotizes/locks you in. I don't think the beat change-ups were very interesting. Not saying they needed to do another "Lovestoned/I Think She Knows" (which I think was a excellent example of how to do it), but they didn't take me sonically to another level, make me say, "OH SHIT." Instead some of the songs seemed overlong and slightly droning. *shrug*

Overall, it's a solid album. It's warm and familiar, but I haven't caught the groove of it yet. That'll take some time...

and that's it in a nut shell. and timberlake was always the 2nd doughboy to Eminem and now by default he is the next in line

and bieber is too young and unproven still

.

I love the Brazilian sound on a couple of the tracks

I'm definitely copping the Target version with the bonus tracks. I fucks with it all. I would say that to me the weakest track is definitely Blue Ocean Floor.

Been trying to figure out what my issue is with JT.

It's his voice. Listening to Spaceship Coupe right now and his voice is just unappealing to me. I'm imagining a singer with more presence and soul and I think that person would kill this. Even the confidence a Trey Songs or Chris Brown brings could help here. (He's whiny, I know, just saying...)

What's crazy is a lot of the songs where he uses more layers with his voice sounds like NSYNC stuff to me. The first part of Mirrors has boy band vibes all over it.

Kudos on the energy of the album though. Layers of sound effects are nice. This has elements of the timbaland beats I preferred from the 2000's which is fun. This is basically that last Ginuwine album with Timbo that never happened. The strings and tempo remind me of how Janet did some of her albums too.

I'm wondering how radio play is gonna pan out. Although its an RnB album, this sounds nothing like the things i hear on "urban" stations right now. It's reminiscent of everything being played during timbos peak, but not being played anymore. Pop stations love JT though so he's covered, I guess.

Pop radio is a free for all....

Baauer has the number 1 song in the country
ke$ha gets hourly spins
Macklemore gets hourly spins...
Rihanna got a piano ballad in the top 40
this shit will fit right in


They'll definitely edit it tho... they edited suit and tie for radio.. so the beat never changes.. slow shit doesn't come in

If you don't like his voice, that's one thing.

But I've been seeing criticism suggesting that this album is conservative or boring musically, that argument holds no water.

this sounds so time-appropriate... i def. hear some prince, off the wall era mj, the dream, old school timbo and early 00's neptunes (in terms of songwriting) influences in there, but not egregiously.. i feel like they effectively gave us some of those comfortable grooves, but with a really cool/new twist.. and i refuse to call this a JT album, unless it stands for "Justin - Timbaland"... i'm sure it was a very collaborative effort.. but timbo helmed a really well thought out album.. and his stamp is all over this one.. JT turned in exactly what he needed to.. i was expecting this album to be good, i'm a decently big fan of both of them, but this def. exceeded my expectations...

I just don't feel it like that. To be quiet honest, some parts of the record were pretty painful and some were really good. If Im bored one day, I’ll give it a second chance based on the hype but I have yet to understand what’s the big deal with that man.

+

I like how they blend all the songs to create an “album experience”, it’s a pretty cohesive album
It got rythm, even the songs that I find annoying are not boring
I guess he has found his sound because I don’t feel like he is biting anybody sound on this one
At least it sounds like R&B
Fav tracks : Suit & Tie, That Girl, Blue Ocean Floor … Don’t Hold the Wall would have been a monster if it wasn’t for the first 4 min of the song.

-

Those songs are too long and IMO some of them are not strong enough to be extended to 8 min
Most of the extensions are WAY better than the first part of the song, so why bother ? Just cut the songs or just release their second part. This reminds me of Frank Ocean’s “Pyramids” : the first 4 min of the song are a total waste of time.
Some of these songs already sound dated and they have just been released, I guess it must be the whole “Timbo 2004 plastic sounding production”
Not a fan of dude’s voice, yes he can sing, no it doesn’t sound bad, it's just not my cup of tea
Timbaland need to stop with that cheesy “oriental” shit, it wasn’t good back then, it isn’t today

It's obviously a Jimmy Eat World song.

Not a diss, just what it is. We all know Timbaland digs that sound. It's "Goodbye Sky Harbour" for the Extenze crowd.

he said and I quote that Justin Timberlake isn't even as good as Corey Feldman at being a Broke Michael Jackson.

now that was some serious laughs and daps over some grub.

The album is quite good though.

good tracks, but he just does NOT pull off the level of "swagger" he puts out.

the first line on the album..."hey lil' mama"...that shit is just not native to his tongue. he's putting on a weird wigger act and it's uncomfortable...takes me out of the music too often.

sound more authentic.

Usher would have turned them into euro-dance mixes. So that's alright.

dude would never make an album like this. Has he ever worked with one producer for an entire album? No. Dude is a singles artist.

This album gets major points for being cohesive & it's very good, but a lot of this is Timbo showing off. Plus, vocally, JT has always been average at best. Besides, I think Frank & Miguel's albums are just as enjoyable, if not more than this. Time will tell....

I'll give you Confessions. Great album. 8701 had only a few tracks to me. He's a singles artist IMO.

It's prolly my favorite track, the second half is some epic shit..... BUT, am I the only one that notices the syncopation of percussion to instrumentation is completely off!??! (Only on the 2nd half of the song)

And not that Sa-Ra delayed swing kind of off. Its a cant catch the beat, or nod your head properly to the rhythm kinda off. Please tell me I'm not the only one to notice this shit.

I'm hoping the retail cd version isn't like this, and its just some iTunes mastering bullshit.

i wish there were more tight tracks like That Girl.
ill pass on Hold The Wall. I know there will never be an end to songs about dancing to said song, but i dont need any more.
Strawberry Bubblegum doesn't do anything for me until the changeup for the last couple mins...i guess in this case these longs yarns of songs are a benefit, because if you don't like the first 6 mins, maybe you'll like the last 3.
but generally, my biggest issue is that the album is completely over-indulgent on timbalands part. i think it's a really really good record that could have been GREAT if tim focused more on the album and what IT needed, rather than on all the fun stuff and multiple movements that he wanted to do with the tracks. but obvs JT was down with all that stuff, so it is what it is i guess.

This Dress on song would be my top 3 on the album..Body count is a aight bonus song.

Like many, I’m someone who looked forward to hearing what Justin Timberlake would be doing with his third album. It has been almost seven years since his last release, during a period in the music industry where if you don’t have new music every three months, you’re considered a has-been. Arguably, Timberlake has the luxuries of not having to bow down to the industry at all, but there comes a time when the demand is great, be it from the public or your own. Timberlake has always been someone, at least from interviews, who loves music. He had wondered why MTV doesn’t cater to more music at a time when they have become everything but music, to no avail. With the release of “Suit & Tie” as a first single, the reception from it was enough to reveal what everyone had already known: don’t call it a comeback, he’s been here for years.

The 20/20 Experience (RCA) is a unique album for a number of reasons. It is very much a pop album, but its roots are very much in soul and that soulful touch is never distant from these songs. It is also a reflection of the soul music and albums that once were dominant in the 1970′s. The album consists of 10 songs, what used to be considered the ideal album length, but can you release a 10-song album in 2013? If you’re Timberlake, you can. If fans felt his FutureSex/LoveSounds had songs that were too lengthy, you may want to watch out for these tracks, as seven of the songs are over seven minutes in length. That might not be the path most artists are taking today, but I’m glad Timberlake feels confident enough to go at it with these lengths, and it works very well. The Wikipedia entry for the album has Timberlake quoted as saying “If Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin can do 10-minute songs and Queen can do 10-minute songs then why can’t we? We’ll figure out the radio edits later.” As someone who enjoys it when an artist explores music and themselves with a long song, this is truly ear candy.

U not getting it....I don't disagree with anyone who doesn't like the white boy's music...U can shit on his music until the cows come home...

I'm shitting on YOUR warped reasons for your dismissal of Timberlake...

It's quite lazy...U should should just critique the music like most heads are doing...Instead u bring in shit that has nothing to do with the music...

And u should be the last person to tell a person where they shouldn't post given your wacked-out, obsessive track record...

Glass houses, homie...

marginal singer

generic songwriting

and he hasn't evolved as a artist at all.

he hasn't showed any artistic growth at all in a decade plus IMO

and he is forever a broke Michael Jackson knock off.

you happy now???

what part of Marginal and Low Budget despite having a polished product around him you don't get?

Someone on Twitter had asked me that, and I said if Kelly wanted to, he would do it without a problem. But would you call that theft or pulling a "Pat Boone", or did you only say that because Timberlake is white and can be a thief who executes well?

i mean Timberlake ain't never done anything half as memorabble as no R.Kelly and Kellz has made classic albums.

and I already told you that TImberlake ain't nothing but a Broke puppet string of Pop Broke Michael Jackson.

you fall for that Okey doke.

when Justin Timberlake can get to George Michael Level wake me up.

i gotta show you how to really write a review on Justin Timberlake, because all that mess you typing ain't about him.

Timberlake don't believe them lies his own self. he knows he ain't got the goods despite the complextion for the protection and alot of Grinning Negroes who allow him and His Pat Boone ways.

I respect Michael Jackson's music. I just don't gloat about it.

is going to write them lies in that review you did, Justin timberlake doesn't believe the half of what you wrote.

you are a smart dude and knowledgeable, however that stuff you wrote don't apply to that turkeys,

Also... lies? I believe I gave my opinion in what I listened to, and I did not make anything up. I will quote myself:
"In the second half of the song, the track seems to go into a transformation (similar to a DJ segueway) between Earth, Wind & Fire’s “Runnin” and Michael Jackson’s “Don’t Stop Til You Get Enough”, as if he’s exploring the beauty of that period in music between 1977 and 1979."

That is not a lie, I wasn't making something up for the sake of being read. This is what I hear, this is how I felt, I caught the Brazilian influence immediately. I'm hearing MJ's transformation from what he was before to what he became with OFF THE WALL, and I'm talking musically. When I write, I want to be able to convey my feelings from the music to those who do read me. I don't write for a specific audience, even though I'm sure I may go over people's heads if I make a reference that isn't a casual one. I write for all, and I feel my review wasn't any different from any of my other reviews, other than length.

If you feel that there was a lie or lies were told, I cannot change your mind. What I hear on this album is a sense of craft, not unlike OFF THE WALL, which I will always say is one of the best albums ever made. In fact, I've never not said this, and that's not a lie. It's an opinion, and if my opinions are lies because they are not true facts, that's fine. Again, I cannot change your view. However, you read my review and I thank you for that sir.

you stepped toward my door, because that particular passage you eluded to MJ off the wall esque and that's what i've been saying about timberfake's whole solo career he has never stopped trying to get that spot.

however he doesn't have the chops to pull it off, yet he tries real hard. somewhere Rasheed Wallace is saying about Justin TImberlake he tries real hard, and he is a marginal talent at best,

i hear all kinds of late 70's and early 80's influences in his work and yet he just rides them, however he never takes it into his own, big difference.

all i said is you wrote about a broke MJ like was doing something special and if case you didn't notice its split and most folks at best think he is alright, however the musical ideas and what is presented don't mash man.

i got respect for you as a writer however timberlake ain't that deep and he doesn't know how to handle a balanced out project. its just not in him.

Where as each of the last two JT albums had a handful of songs I STILL play.

I dig the overall vibe, but it just ain't for me.

jt albums age like fruit.

As I said in my initial post, each of the last two have a good five or six songs I still listen to on the regular. My early impressions of this new album have me feeling like there are few, if any, I will do that for.

Not wack though. Just kinda there, which isn't gonna fly in a time when so many new voices are running R&B.

am i the only one who didn't like the album?

i was checking out the album with my sister eating dinner on Monday when it leaked and outside of Suit and Tie, none of the songs really stood out to me. i'm not a fan of JT outside of his singles or really a fan of Tim's work with him so it could just be that this album isn't for me. but between Justin's voice (which is nice) and Tim's beats (which don't really strike a chord with me) I just felt, 'meh'.

i guess Justin is sticking to his guns of actively borrowing from his influences. (there's an interview of him outright saying he wrote alot of the album thinking of his influences.) there's a Prince song, a Stevie song, the last cut sounds like a Drake or Frank Ocean cut.

i'm sure it'll rack up alot of listens, but i just wasn't excited by any of the album.

also, is there really another single on this album besides Suit & Tie?

I'm certain you aren't the only one who didn't like the album.

Not everyone is gonna like everything. And I get it. Shit's not for everyone.

************************

If this is what passes as quality music nowadays we're fucked.

He wants to create an album full of pop songs that are 7+ mins and that's very hard to do.

He could get away with it with 2-3 songs.

The change ups seemed so pointless and tired. I had the same feeling listening to Watch the Throne

FS/LS was more successful at what he was trying to do than this effort. Although to be fair, FS/LS had to grow on me

yet some people will praise C80s and then crap on JT. Fauntleroy pulling the strings on both



<================================
http://i1222.photobucket.com/albums/dd494/raysnill1/2012falcons.jpg

Lyrically speaking, Cocaine 80s is a hard R. This is PG-13 at worst.

yes, coke80 is more explicit
but if you dont hear the same voice behind both projects, you're not really listening.

The background vocals at the Grammy and Fallon performance really come out and compliment JT's voice. The studio version seems sterile and slightly robotic.

I hope he drops a live album following this tour, because I haven't heard a live song yet that isn't better than the album cuts.

Most definitely. It's what's been frustrating me about the album. The more organic sound of the live performances gives the songs more character.

.

Strawberry is impressive, but IM disappointed that Timbo is now a 2-3 trick pony. Same ol same ol IMO. Still a decent album anyway..

i really dont need these 3-4 min variations on a theme at the end of every song.
as i stated above, its just self-indulgent. it really doesn't serve the album at all.
everything here that's not extraneous is fantastic, but the more i listen, theres a lot of fat to trim.

this is honest criticism without making race a factor. I can dig that.
I was thinking the same thing about them doing that on every track. It
was special on the previous album because it was done once or twice.
Here, it does get kind of tired using the same formula on the majority
of tracks. I still dig the album though. Completely agree with what you
said as well.

If he did this stuff live, I'd have no problem with it. If his band on stage wants to flip the songs and jam it out, cool. But on the disc, it's just too much. Some songs it definitely works and is necessary. The others, it seems forced.

so far i find myself just grooving with all the tracks including the switch ups. of course, there will probably come a time when i edit the tracks myself and separate the main track from the switches at the end. i did the same for the last album.

************************

... Justin grew up, is in love with Jessica Biel (she's the only person I can imagine he's directing these songs to, possibly because I know of their public relationshiop) & Timbo persuaded him to not go the "whats hot on the radio route", and said lets do something more traditional since no one is expecting that from us, and voila.

The album isn't mind boggling like I feel the last one was, hell that shit fucked me up and blew out a speaker (only two people blew out my speakers since I jammed them hoard as fuq one is Timbo and the other Dilla), but this shit here is more like throw on and chill to. It's not a masterpiece per say but just good music. I'd rather listen to this album ANY day over that album Frank Ocean dropped or the Weekend guy. I still think Miguels Kaleidescope Dream is a notch above this album.

Overall, I'm just glad it got people talking about R&B music again since that genre been stagnant as fuck. Hell they're even talking about it in GD so kudos on that front.

... the internet would be going NUTS ! Just saying though.

I'm drunk, so you'll forgive me as I just go on a bit of rant about this album. I put in a bid for review and missed the lottery, so my words don't have any official merit. Just gonna blog witch'yall. I don't think that slang has a fancy format yet. Anyway, dude, "Pusher Lover Girl". Justin did that song at the Grammies, and from that moment on I was all "gimmie this album, gimmie give me gimmie this album." I didn't get the hate for "Suit & Tie"; I may never. I do agree with the now-infamous ?uest post ("if you gonna go 40.....go 40/40 with it"); if I felt like expanding to blog world, I'd have kept that nugget to myself. But it was public; mad will always me made.

How do I feel about Justin Timberlake? Let's rewind to 2001, 2002. Either "Girlfriend" or "Gone" is on Total Request Live (I called this Total Recall at first - fucking Colin Farrell), and if I'm not making out with the girl that's watching these shows then she's remarking intensely about how much Justin Timberlake stands out. Remember that this was a time when N*SYNC and Backstreet Boys were equally titanic, but something about N*SYNC's largess seemed more doomed to fail. Insiders felt JC Chasez was really in charge, women in for a shock that they were attracted to homos found solace in Lance Bass. Timberlake was for the wusses that didn't know better.

Luckily for perhaps everyone, Timberlake had the narrative. Britney Spears was his girl, perhaps and probably from as far back as the Mickey Mouse days. You're my generation and you have to care; you're the generation above, you're seeking reasons why. Releasing "Cry Me a River" as his solo debut solidified everything folks were afraid of: allow Timberlake control of his public identity, he might show some promise. Justified couldn't help but be the album we were all scared of at the height of boy band mania, the thing that proved at least one of these boy band de facto leaders was worth it.

The wild thing about growing up, that music helps to emphasize, is losing touch. At 24 I already feel an active struggle against it, desperate (and willing, and able) to enjoy new things because if I started falling back on nostalgia I'd feel a little incomplete. Maybe it's the way Justin's given himself to us in the decade since N*SYNC's dissolution, but I almost feel weird about him releasing an album now. I think this is what quite a few other writers are struggling with. Timberlake - and, perhaps to an even greater extent, Timbaland - feel like relics of a bygone era. I'm not sure what it is for them; for me, it's junior year of high school being the year of "My Love" and "What You Know" and middle school being defined by JT and Britney singles.

Just feeling like relics isn't the only cause for concern with 20/20 Experience, though. I'll laud both...at this point, all three of Justin's solo LPs at any opportunity, but none are without their faults. "Don't Hold the Wall" might pop up nearly 20 minutes into the LP proper, but truthfully it's just the third track and couldn't work much more efficiently as a momentum be -header if it tried. marsbars said it best (to stroke his ego, it's also partially why I backed away from submitting a black market review and hoping for the best): there are moments I'm unconvinced need to exist.

The difference is, they come in different spurts for me. "Don't Hold the Wall" is so worthless until it's second half kicks in, when it shifts from turgid late-70s disco jam to bonafied modern day shut the fuck up and dance anthem. But all that Timbaland-ing is a bit much, or obnoxious. It's not a bummer, but it's a bummer. Before I get to the real avalanches (aka: the pop culture controversies) let me talk about what I love. "Pusher Lover Girl" - studio, live or not, what criticisms can I take back to make you love me? "Strawberry Bubblegum", what do you ask of me? "Suit & Tie", what could I give you to remove a Jay-Z verse and beat I don't hate but have no particular opinion about?

And that's about it. For how interested I've been in this album, and listening to it, I have to admit that taken as a division of labor 20/20 Experience isn't the album your brain prepared you for. Very little of this album actually earns what it's asking for, and I don't really mean to take much away from Justin and Tim as I say that. This retro thing has been fetishized for a few years now and it's really no surprise that mainstream acts start to dig into what the scenes in L.A. and the midwestern underground are getting at, but due to rarity you hear a JT/TM collaboration is happening, sometimes you expect the next step.

That said, if this isn't a next step for pop "R&B" in any way it certainly paves the way for this generation's power artists to stop giving a fuck and indulge their favoritism. For example, I'll hate on "Chop Me Up" as long as I'm allowed but on some level I'll always appreciate a Memphis native putting such fucking idiots on his album just because they're arguably more important than he is to local tradition. Justin's been anything but an idiot musically since his segregation; picking and choosing battles.

Anyway, for all the melodic and musical things that I love about this album, if it weren't a huge pop release there'd be some factors I'd weigh more heavily on. For example, "Tunnel Vision" is a killer production but it's really, really stupid from a words point of view. So is "Mirrors". And these are two of the album's so-called definitive songs. Taking after the shifty transition between "Tunnel Vision"'s two parts (an easy criticism, were you a music/pop major, might be the subtle laziness of these "halves"), "Mirror" is equally a song that goes on forever merely because Justin Timberlake + Timbaland makes the song more interesting than Trey Songz + Cool & Dre. Both of these often-lauded songs (from what I've seen) are pretty fair otherwise.

In fact, lyricism is a problem all throughout the album. "Spaceship Coupe" is a song filled with words that sound good mainly because they're contained by the same verse or chorus; maybe I'd buy Justin's shot at Surrounded by Idiots/Princeism a little more if the words were better, but I already buy them quite a bit regardless. I'm just saying that song is a joke that happens to work. That whole giggling baby at the end of the track; where's Ginuwine?

What's probably hardest about 20/20 Experience is that it's ultimately very professional. Unlike when Justin was a scion of pop, he's now simply a filter. Timbaland too. Some people feel weird about that, and it's easy to. After all, the "throwback sound" has been down for a minute now (give or take six years) and this duo (trio, forgive me Jerome) can't help but be linked to that. 20/20 Experience is anything but an innovator's haven. Despite pretensions otherwise, 20/20 Experience is mostly the more solid but less zeitgeisty release it was always destined to be.

Possible this is the most satisfying product Timberlake has and will ever put his name on. Possible we'll never be able to accept it that way. Anyway, this turned out to be a drunken ramble that made sense. I was hoping for The Glow, Pt. 2 zaniness. I suppose this release just doesn't inspire that, so, one more 'gain: I really don't care for "Tunnel Vision" or "Mirrors" much at all. The latter sounds like a Mario song that missed the boat. I don't want to press any more keys. Perhaps I've already pressed more than enough.

This album must be something to recieve so many long-winded reviews. I'm interested to hear the length song these records...cause personally I would rather hear a long LP than a 38 minute one, but I'm prolly in the minority.

I think it's incredible. Incredibly ambitious and original. The sonics are outstanding. Not much in terms of songwriting though. It's a series of jams and the songs have a progressive structure instead of a songwriting format. Not much hummable on there....but the focus on the sounds is enough to make me love it. I was pretty shocked when I first sat down to listen to the whole thing. It's really quite an endeavor. They spent alot of time on this.

If mexican food = soul music. I'll fuck with Chipotle...but there are way better, cheaper options.

I mean...this guy really has an afrobeat record on 20/20. Dude is blessed that Jay-Z and Timbaland fuck with him.

i doubt he cares...but on the real i'll take "do it" off his top secret ain't nobody supposed to know about it ep with jake one over ANY song on JT's album and i like JT's album.

that's how dope "do it" is...

on this. Spaceship Coupe is a Ginuwine classic that shoulda been on the fully Tim produced follow up to 100%..

>on this. Spaceship Coupe is a Ginuwine classic that shoulda
>been on the fully Tim produced follow up to 100%..

the song that The Dream tries to make in honor of Jodeci on every album he drops.

Ginuwine...ahhh...I remember the story being that HE wanted to work with other producers. If that's the case, hindsight is 20/20, but dangit Gordon...waiting on Tank and Tyrese for a group album can't be as good as dropping 20/20 Experience...long ass songs be damned.

Jimaveli

that aren't strong enough to be singles in the first place.

And the excursions don't really go anywhere interesting.

There's two good-to-great songs on here: Pusher Love Girl & Strawberry Bubblegum.

Suit & Tie actually sounds better in the context of the album, that's pretty good.

Let The Groove Get In is cool for a bit but basically ends up sounding like JT's version of doing MJ's 'Mama Say Mama Sa Mama Cu Sa' bit for five-and-a-half-minutes with no "Wanna Be Starting Something" around it.

The rest is pretty much forgettable.

where one can consider the extended portion a different song and click to the next if they want

which is bs anyways because there is noting wrong with these songs altogether

folks arent giving it time to become familiar with it

As someone who almost always lets albums ride I don't mind the song-lengths at all, although I can definitely see it bothering others.

I dig the fact that there are longer songs on this ...giving you some extra groove...some extra beats ..... that's different than the mainstream norm doing that.

Timb is brining hot tracks...the songs are cool...

I like..

and I'm sure just like with his last one he'll bring the some heat with his band live when he performs them...

what more could you ask for.

what about Timbaland

he knows the game he gave Ginuwine the stuff and it was better almost 20 years back, folks in the Know, know that JC from N Synch was the cat doing on his solo album the stuff that went to Timberfake.

what the hell did u just say? english please

and I said that Timberland did his best stuff with Giuwine 20 years ago and timberlake gets the sloopy 2nds and 3rds, however its nothing special at all IMO.

i'll take Ginuwine over TImberlake and Ginuwine was a marginal singer at best, however still he had the wrong shade and we know the truth.

youre kind of racist

his best stuff with Gin? thats debateable..at the very least it doesnt dismiss the stuff he and JT have done together

youre just extremely biased and prejudiced...which really amounts to your opinions not even being relevant or counting no matter how much u rant and rave about shit that doesnt flow your way

we don't own nothing or control things read what i said about timberlake.

just because you ride with Timberlake and your crew doesn't mean other folks have to do or think he is anything beyond being average.


this cat couldn't hold George Michael's left side of his face musically.

and i can name 99 other white boys off the dome that would run TImberlake back into the mickey Mouse club and make him sound like Howdy Doodie.

and Ginuwine and Tim did there thing and FYI that is the usual case because back when Tim was doing his thing he was mainly Hip hop and R&B it wasn't no one republic cross over love,etc..


typical when a Black act has a sound that is banging a white act gets it 5 years later and then its called a sandwich and its time to eat it as if it just came out that instant.

and by no means is Ginuwine more than a 3rd tier act his ownself, however ain't nothing that timberlake can do that Ginuwine ain't done better IMO

now go back to your cave turkey

>he just ain't that good. timberfake got he complextion for

Illuminati?

I'm ready to retire this word...People are overusing it...

and you can quote me on that. Timberfake didn't even have the best voice in stank. and yeah its Illuminati because the powers that be want this marginal turkey to blow up at all costs.

marginal singer

marginal actor

marginal entertainer on a whole

wick wack jive turkey

timberbland ain't doing nothing on the writing or production to take that turkeys limits anywhere

U can say all that without resorting to lazy shit like Illuminati...

That's all I'm saying...

Seeing people tag everything they don't dig or can't understand as some part of a conspiracy is pretty weak...

your so called counter argument is weak Homie. Timbefake is so genric and corny it hurts. if Timberfake was Black he would be in a direct to video movie with Marquez Houston and Omarion don't even front and yeah I'm saying Illuminati all the way. that doughboy is overrated.

mirrors is kinda corny though

i'd give it like a 7.5
