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

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

never forget
― 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)
― keef qua keef (Jordan), Tuesday, 15 January 2013 21:03 (eleven years ago) link
This is pretty great, clunker of an intro expected. His voice is really different!
― Matt DC, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 21:13 (eleven years ago) link
hahahahahaha that intro really terrified me but once it got past that, dope

I wasn't equating them quality-wise, just saying they're both working similar aesthetics.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 15 January 2013 22:12 (eleven years ago) link
very similar, with JT throwing in some avalanches for good measure
doesn't seem to quite make up for the insignificance of the tune tho
― surm, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 00:14 (eleven years ago) link
It was great to listen to "suit" this morning, in the bus, with the sun shining on the Seine !I don't mind the intro now.only jay's part is still boring. that said, he wasn't helped by the fact they made him rap on the slow part. I think it wouldn't be that boring if his rap was on the funky part.anyway, glad JT's back !
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 11:17 (eleven years ago) link
reminds me of that thing someone said like he could have been the new MJ and he decided to be the new ashton kutcher...
― AlXTC from Paris, Wednesday, 16 January 2013 11:29 (eleven years ago) link
heard this in the car today, very early 90s sounding, sounds like the bridge of "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss"
― Euler, Thursday, 17 January 2013 20:44 (eleven years ago) link
yeah it's funny cuz like, i always want modern modern modern from Justin, so that's big time throwing me

I love about three and a half minutes of this track.

Kinda like that this is gonna be just a 10-track thing, rather than the sort of bloated "event" record we usually get.
― Public Brooding Closet (cryptosicko), Thursday, 7 February 2013 03:49 (eleven years ago) link
Me too. I hope it's a really solid, brief album instead of a murky long-distance run with more valleys than peaks.
― Johnny Fever, Thursday, 7 February 2013 03:52 (eleven years ago) link
ILX-precovers or what !?
― AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 7 February 2013 11:31 (eleven years ago) link
as for the number of tracks/length, yeah, I agree.that's one of the things I like about the MBV album.
― AlXTC from Paris, Thursday, 7 February 2013 11:34 (eleven years ago) link
OK, if there's an ILX-precovers, I can already hear "blue ocean floor" !
