"Summer Love" seemed slight at first but it was absolutely perfect to drive around in the summer to.

yeessss

I made that same defense.
i still maintain that every single one of those singles sounds way better in the context of the album and they're done no favors when compared to the justified singles (which imo tower over everything else)

<3 "Another Song" + my friend's description of it as JT's "crying at the piano with his whiskey joint"

yeah the album's marketing inspired my awe more than the album itself: a classic eighties blockbuster with many singles charting more than a year after release.

i think my general scepticism about JT projects despite the fact that i mostly love his music is pretty much down to the fact that he's really impressed with "classic" signifiers of artistry and really adept at marketing himself along those lines, and i couldn't care less - i have to ignore how he sells his albums, really.

god I even liked the Tiesto remix of "LoveStoned."

like you just KNOW he thinks eight-minute tracks mean he's artier

Yep. In Timberlakian circles.

xp of course he does, but there's really nothing wrong with that
― radric: the guccining (The Reverend), Monday, 11 March 2013 22:56 (eleven years ago) link
oh yeah that's totally true.
personally i'm a sucker for that kind of stuff tho (it's one of the reasons why i was so drunk on LTTP)

yeah but even you must know it's nonsense right?

haha yes. welcome, brad.
― J0rdan S., Monday, 11 March 2013 22:58 (eleven years ago) link
like, 8 minute songs really don't mean they're more impressive in any way, unless the actual music is
(that was an xp to soto)

conversely i have no time for anything that comes after "chop me up" on FS/LS
nice of them to front-load the best 7+ tracks then! that's a real solid run. honestly i'm into 'damn girl' too. if that came out as a teaser single for this new record i'd be excited.

well sure... i think he does well here, though.
like a counter example would be 'my beautiful dark twisted fantasy' which is just long and art-y and pretentious in a super self-involved way (duh) but to little or no end

sure, but it doesn't really matter either way (nb: i haven't heard the new album yet). "lovestoned" and "what goes around" didn't suffer for their length
― radric: the guccining (The Reverend), Monday, 11 March 2013 23:00 (eleven years ago) link
ugh i forgot that will.i.am does a vocal on 'damn girl'

"Mirrors" tries for the same synactic and thematic leap as "Lovestoned" but sounds malnourished and even sloppy, like he and Timbaland Had Ideas but no song.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 11 March 2013 23:01 (eleven years ago) link
soto otm about "mirrors" which can go alongside MBDTF in this regard
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Monday, 11 March 2013 23:03 (eleven years ago) link
btw "Take Me Now" is a classic wtf jukebox delight.
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 11 March 2013 23:05 (eleven years ago) link
decided to listen to this again, never not gonna grimace at the intro of "suit and tie" and the awkward juxtaposition of "shit tie shit tie"
but dang "pusher love girl" is strong

I don't know if I like That Girl or like its signifiers.

I've got no patience for any man -- pop star or chimney sweep -- who uses "mama" as a term of affection in 2013.

what about "mamacita"?

it's only the coda of this song that's any good tho
― radric: the guccining (The Reverend), Monday, 11 March 2013 23:53 (eleven years ago) link
like... the extended structure is not what's wrong with "Mirrors" at all
― radric: the guccining (The Reverend), Monday, 11 March 2013 23:54 (eleven years ago) link
fuck, that Four Tet remix is incredible!

songs are a bit long, more like the 24/7 experience who's with me

ok in album context i can totally hang with "Mirror"
i like this album but it's like i've been listening to it all damn day

one of these songs has a total Kid A intro

OK, I feel like an idiot. How do I listen to this thing? I followed links to iTunes, but it just opens up a page that says JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE next to a photo of JT, and there's nothing to click on.

This is way better than I expected it to be.
