The problem might be Timbaland, but for the moment this is off to a poor start.

i thought "Pusher Love Girl" sounded pretty good and "Suit & Tie" just gets worse and worse

i kinda love "mirrors"... i think it's a really fantastic vocal performance
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 21 February 2013 03:59 (eleven years ago) link
i really can't even begin to give a fuck about another "cry me a river"/"what goes around" type song
― some dude, Thursday, 21 February 2013 04:01 (eleven years ago) link
it genuinely bums me out that THAT is the quickie 2nd single hail mary to "Suit & Tie"
i'm honestly not even sure why i think this, but i think "cry me a river" and "what goes around" are so distinctive that i'm okay with the idea of them adding to them for a sort of trilogy thing. i def initially felt like they were just playing out the formula or whatever but i think this song is pretty good on its own and idk i guess i've just really warmed to the idea of them making that song again.
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 21 February 2013 04:05 (eleven years ago) link
also, again, i think it's a really fantastic vocal performance
i think it's a octology or something once you factor in all the songs justin has written/produced in that template
― some dude, Thursday, 21 February 2013 04:09 (eleven years ago) link
i will have to go back to "mirrors" with a fresh set of ears at some point though
― some dude, Thursday, 21 February 2013 04:10 (eleven years ago) link
maybe it's also that i'm not really feeling the direction of "suit & tie"/"pusher love girl" so i'm just gobbling this wheelhouse shit up
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 21 February 2013 04:11 (eleven years ago) link
i think jt does the best he can with the sub-chris cornell scream guitar arpeggio that tim provides

the guitar sounds like so much dogshit
i can't even with this song

if "strawberry bubblegum" and "spaceship coupe" are bad i'm gonna be heartbroken
― J0rdan S., Thursday, 21 February 2013 04:24 (eleven years ago) link
i could take them rewriting the same song for the millionth time (lol at "trilogy") if they'd bothered to write a melody as affecting as "rehab" (which was a good song despite the formula being way played out even then)
― lex pretend, Thursday, 21 February 2013 10:40 (eleven years ago) link
at this point i'll just be happy if we get a couple of legit decent jams off this album
i have mirrors going in my headphones now and i'm having trouble making myself pay attention to it.

^^a better song than "mirrors"

student played me "Mirrors" for the first time today and imo it's fucking amazing
― tochter tochter, please (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:03 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, I'm feeling Mirrors and Suit & Tie (although I haven't really admitted the latter to anyone until now). I really want to hear the full album though. Futuresex/Lovesounds was explicitly an LP, I wonder whether I even feel differently about those tracks in that context.
― MikoMcha, Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:06 (eleven years ago) link
rorschach test of some kind maybe but 'mirrors' seems like total autopilot to me
― goole, Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:13 (eleven years ago) link
There's more than a bit of nostalgia to it, for sure.

there's a bit of nostalgia to all this excitement but liking poor imitations of a 6-7 yr old just out of nostalgia seems sad

it's just really important as a music fan to know when the magic has gone from my favourite artists' work

i love poor cici's new stuff as much as anything at her peak, and not because it sounds like it
― lex pretend, Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:22 (eleven years ago) link
if anything's magnifying ciara for me in 2012-13 it's that NO ONE ELSE is dancing so she seems way more unique than she should perhaps
― lex pretend, Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:23 (eleven years ago) link
I wonder if JT solo ever really switched things up? It's basically been about stretching out the Timbaland/Neptunes era R&B urban sound into increasingly epic variations...

taking on the One Stan Army
hmm i think i can tell when ciara puts out substandard rehashes of her old stuff eg "sorry"
not sure how loving "livin' it up" or "wake up, no make-up" is nostalgia for old cici though

The only way all this was ever going to really excite is if he'd gone in a discernibly new direction and Timbaland aint it.

do yall actually have a point or is this just whiney style throwing every zing at the wall

suit and tie is pretty good, but, again, 5 and a half minutes?
― goole, Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:34 (eleven years ago) link
I've grown to really like jay's verse and the switch-up but the intro has got to go
― 乒乓, Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:36 (eleven years ago) link
the verses on "Mirrors" might be auto-Timb but the way they turn into that massive AOR chorus is really nice imo
― tochter tochter, please (Noodle Vague), Thursday, 21 February 2013 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
This is also probably true.

I like the introduction but that chorus forces him to strain his vocal chords.
