Justin Timberlake in 2013

link?

first song sounds good, not paying attention to the lyrics tho... something about someone in a cage tho, prob not a good sign

What even is this True Blood track?

honestly that whole track makes me think of the bears/menstruation myth

way to ruin Jim McMahon

hahaha

JT's the one to remake "Superbowl Shuffle."

heard 'take back the night' in a bud light platinum commercial - good classy product to attach your brand to, jt

so far this is kinda ugly and unpleasant where the first part was pretty lush

cause i got you sayin' "jesus" so much it's like we laying in a manger

smdh

please say the next line is "got you sittin' on my flagpole like you was harvey danger"

There isn't interesting enough production this time to help me ignore the lyrical bankruptcy on display here.

He is sexy.

like Harvey Danger sittin' on a flagpole

is everyone overcompensating to make up for the wholly incorrect split decision on the last JT record or is this really genuinely as bad

no it makes the last one look better in retrospect esp from a conceptual level

you realize he's the "creative director" of bud light platinum right?

yeah i figured that out when i googled bud light platinum and his name was like 5th in the results.

it's truffle season... time for tuxedos for no reason [and bottles of Bud Light Platinum™, a bolder light beer that's triple filtered for that smooth top-shelf taste]

but yes i thought everybody knew that justin timberlake was the creative director for bud light platinum. ask any man on the street, he'll look at you in the eye as if you're crazy before answering "why, of course it's justin timberlake"

also just now realizing the... irony? uh, not sure what the appropriate word here is - of not only repurposing the phrase 'take back the night' for his first single but then going ahead and making the creative decision of using that song to sell beer to frathouse bros

part 2 is so so bad.

i really like the first song

The Yoko bit in "Murder" is the most mortifying of Jay's career.

i really like the first song

Me too. It's the return of that worried falsetto I liked on the FS/LS title track. Also, he's not trying so hard lyrically.

haha i liked that part

I dont know if Justin T is worthy of vocal praise

hoo boy i had assumed the negative reactions were embarrassed overcompensating but this really is so so bad

the last song is ELEVEN MINUTES LONG?????

his vocals are so pinched and lazy on this album

More pinched than usual? I didn't realise that was possible.

genuinely yes

she's got that true butt

holy crap he actually rings a bell at the end of tko

well this was a waste of 27 seconds

was the entire album recorded at the same tempo?

Coked- up?

maybe quaaludes

I am afraid to listen to this now, the reactions have been so entertaining that the reality can't help but be a letdown

Same here. I've seen the antelope torn apart by lions, I don't need to pick over the carcass.

this is truly awful, it has this kind of sharpness that accompanies receiving information without the information to decode it, like watching 3d films without glasses, hearing music through a speaker placed in your mouth, &c

looking forward to it

hearing music through a speaker placed in your mouth

Sounds fun tbh

i suggest you guys enjoy instead the creative decisions that JT is making in service of bud light platinum https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZN8QMvuPas

this is... better-ish on second listen. j0rd is right, the first track is very nice. "true blood" is an unholy mess and might live up to djp's expectations

wow @ being moved to willingly give this a second listen (you have to do it for work right?)

lol i wish

mostly baffled and trying to figure out why anyone would think these songs were worth releasing

there's one song – one! – less than five minutes long.

and it has drake on it
