like, 8 minute songs really don't mean they're more impressive in any way, unless the actual music is

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

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.

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.

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'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

Some of these outros/segues are breathtaking... i love the end of "don't hold the wall"

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
― Raymond Cummings, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 02:35 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― jaymc, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 02:44 (eleven years ago) link
This is way better than I expected it to be.
jaymc - click on the bottom of the album cover art to the left

i got that too, and assume it's because i haven't downloaded the supposedly terrible latest iTunes update. have decided i'm fine w/ waiting to hear the JT. (xp)

ps the stream won't work if you're on your phone -- has to be computer or ipad

Actually it wasn't working on my desktop computer (not sure what the issue is -- I just upgraded last week), but I see it is working on my iPad.

if you've downloaded too much hentai it won't work iirc

we're waiting for the New Yorker to point out "Mirrors"'s resemblances to "How to Disappear Completely."

In case it hasn't been mentioned already, JT is Jimmy Fallon's co-host on Late Night all week long.
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 03:35 (eleven years ago) link
is he the musical guest every night as well?
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 March 2013 03:36 (eleven years ago) link
this kick drum sound on "spaceship coupe" that sounds like a whip being cracked is really dope
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 March 2013 03:37 (eleven years ago) link
i wonder how many times JT will play Dead Robin Gibb this week
― some dude, Tuesday, 12 March 2013 03:38 (eleven years ago) link
what if they do a "history of rap" every night and by friday they're doing oj da juiceman's xxl freestyle
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 March 2013 03:39 (eleven years ago) link
my theory is Justin is going to use this week to take away Tonight Show hosting prospects from Fallon, so he never has to make an album again
