whatever, i like this, jay-z verse apart. underwhelming as a single, though.

Haha, that's probably true. I don't mind it at all though. And Jay-Z is mostly there to let the world that this is a big and important song. I think he does an alright job. No guest at all would be preferable though.

lmao at the idea of gucci mane or drake on this song
i bet drake's on the album tho
surfboards is right about "sexyback" tho
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 January 2013 16:36 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i've never loved that song but i can appreciate it as a lead single, especially now
― some dude, Monday, 14 January 2013 16:37 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i feel totally different about that song now than i did even three years ago
― J0rdan S., Monday, 14 January 2013 16:38 (eleven years ago) link
sexy back got much better after the album came out and you heard "my love" and you were like oh this sexyback is jsut a club song not like the statement
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Monday, 14 January 2013 17:00 (eleven years ago) link
"LoveStoned" is the only track I feel like listening to these days

"sexyback" is the best song on FS/LS

and always was
apart from when it wasn't.
― tsrobodo, Monday, 14 January 2013 17:07 (eleven years ago) link
which was most of the time.
I heard "Until The End of Time" last summer for the first time since late '07 and thought it wasn't as limp as I once thought
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 14 January 2013 17:08 (eleven years ago) link
As we get older, our standards of what qualifies as limp get frequently revised.

"Sexyback" was almost the best song on FS/LS.
"What Goes Around.../...Comes Around" was the best.
― Johnny Fever, Monday, 14 January 2013 19:05 (eleven years ago) link
Take away Jay-Z and the intro and I basically love this. Isleys vibes.

This thing reminds me of Don't Disturb The System for some reason

It left me pretty cold this morning and I still can't get passed the intro and Jay-Z verse to fully recommend it but I like its mild electrogroove.

it feels like it should be facile to bring up the other white R&B guy but there really are like 20 Robin Thicke songs that do this exact vibe a million times better
― some dude, Monday, 14 January 2013 21:45 (eleven years ago) link
not sure Thicke would be above using the line about dinner and the oven though
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 14 January 2013 21:46 (eleven years ago) link
Tom Waits def not above using it
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 14 January 2013 21:47 (eleven years ago) link
I def get Thicke vibes from this.

but jt begat thicke in the first place
― bish (bosch), don't kill my vibe (rennavate), Monday, 14 January 2013 21:50 (eleven years ago) link
not really, nothing about Thicke's sound is derived from JT in any way

begs 2 differ
but anyway i think thicke recorded his first record before Justified came out?
xp
― keef qua keef (Jordan), Monday, 14 January 2013 21:53 (eleven years ago) link
i mean maybe you could make an argument that he set a precedent career-wise but the nature of Thicke's success and what his biggest songs sound like don't line up xp
― some dude, Monday, 14 January 2013 21:54 (eleven years ago) link
yeah i mean career-wise, vocal style wise, even, not song-wise

― DJP, Monday, 14 January 2013 21:57 (eleven years ago) link
that song is ridiculous but dope
voice-wise they can be similar, especially in falsetto. but i think it speaks volumes that Thicke's big breakthrough came out less than a month after FS/LS but "SexyBack" and "Lost Without U" represent such vastly different approaches that only the hackiest hack would've dwelled on the comparison for too long.
― some dude, Monday, 14 January 2013 21:59 (eleven years ago) link
If you compare "Justified" to "A beautiful World" the comparison bears even less scrutiny.
― tsrobodo, Monday, 14 January 2013 22:35 (eleven years ago) link
after about 15 listens, I've decided it's not a disaster. i'm ok with it. fingers are crossed for the album to make me forget about it
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 01:34 (eleven years ago) link
i actually really did hate sexyback in the beginning! definitely on the low end of that album for me
i like the beginning of "suit and tie" a lot but the thick(e) of the song is generic, kind of sounds like he's doing beyonce on first listen
― surm, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 01:50 (eleven years ago) link
it's not miles off from "love on top" or "lay up under me" territory
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 01:58 (eleven years ago) link
after a few spins I still find the track pretty fun but it's true that Jay's verse is much too long and meh.as someone said, the structure of the song is weird, especially for a single, but why not.it's a pocket rnb symphony !"sexyback" was great (but less than "my love").
― AlXTC from Paris, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 10:56 (eleven years ago) link
yeah exactly xp
― surm, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 20:08 (eleven years ago) link
but 'love on top' is amazing (although it probably wouldn't stick out as much without those key changes)
