Justin Bieber

Dr. Luke is a much stronger parallel to 2002 Neptunes than those dudes

i mean i don't necessarily agree w/ josh's premise entirely, but it's a mildly interesting and adventurous tracklist -- but i'd say the same for usher's new album, idk

how many major label albums can have a diplo production credit before that ceases to be shorthand for 'adventurous'

oh, i don't really give a shit about diplo, but his a&r people def stepped further out of the box than i would've expected.

i mean, look, it's not like 'justified' was that adventurous either, for the record -- working with tim and the neptunes wasn't exactly novel

i dunno if you'd asked me a year ago who was gonna work on this album i probably would've said frank ocean and no i.d. (xpost)

ya you might be right

wtf @ that close up of pierce mumbling to himself and coughing like a smoker

All around the wu-ur-urld. Sounds like being in the midway when the kids start getting mad anyone else is there.

(And I like it better than any of the other club thrash anthems I've heard lately. Also, "Boyfriend.")

No talk abt "Die In Your Arms?" I really must be the only one who loves the shit outta this song.

This killed me:

after they explained to you who that old guy was

Handler: "He used to be the president, Justin."
Bieb: "Never see him, I don't know what he does."

lol

That clip is amazing.

the bieb is canadian, lil dude don't need to give a fuck

'im a sock man' to the tune of im the scatman

holy hell that pass off the steal

wrong thred!

you guys having worked out which the good tracks are on this album i am kind of listening to them all the time

it's kind of like a better usher album tbh

as long as you LUH-LUH-LUH-LUH-LUH-LUH-LOVE ME

idk, the album doesn't often rise above this minimal "just ok" level for me. it just kinda plods along with its competent-but-sorta-limp hooks, edm-y beats and diaphanous lyrics and doesn't hit much of a stride for the most part. and the title track is just embarrassing, i can't even put myself through it again.

(i love how mere seconds after i thought, "wow, his voice sounds unusually annoying here" during "right here" drake entered the track and instantly one-upped him in that regard.)

that said, i do like a number of the songs on this album -- "boyfriend", "thought of you" (which i would say does actually 'hit a stride'), "catching feelings" (which appropriately enough is one of the only tracks that actually captures a ~feeling~ for me, however uncomplicated), "as long as you love me"

i'm sure many people will like it (including people who never liked anything he did before) but i'm not even sure this is even negligibly better than his previous material

nicki minaj's verse is oddly beautiful to me despite the lol-worthy wiener/selena rhyme. love love love her delivery. JUSTIN - BIEBER!

"take you" and "catching feelings" are my other highlights, as well as the first 3 tracks which i already knew were all A+

they kinda leaked all the best songs early, also bonus tracks > over half the shit on the album

the first six or so songs are awesome... "catching feelings" is the one ballad that is almost borderline acceptable

i like the drake song. in partic i like the scratching.

yeah i like that song a lot... that vein of drake r&b is pretty catnip-ish for me. and the scratching is choice.

'CAUSE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALL IIIIIIIIII NEEEEEEEEEEEED

as much as i enjoyed that song at the time of release i don't feel like it's really caught fire since

and besides, we have conor maynard now

xxpost

What song is that? Vid link is broken.

as long as you love me

heard it on the radio the other day. sounds dope.

the video is hilarious romeo + juliet / bonnie + clyde running away from her day w/ sepia toned makeout memories stuff. and then it ends with a battered and bruised and bloody biebz getting his ass kicked by his love interest's father.

This comment has received too many negative votes
