They seem more interested in channeling Justin circa 2000-2004 than JT in his current self-indulgent elder statesman of pop pseudo-throwback phase and I don't blame them.

it's prob a bad sign that I immediately assembled half the lyrics in my brain upon seeing the title
― The Reverend, Friday, 20 September 2013 21:23 (twelve years ago)
It was assembled in one of those word association mad lib sex/love metaphor generators that made half of the last Ciara album

it's funny when radio stations cut off the first minute of the Jay-Z song so all you hear is an abrupt "OLY GREHH" before the rapping starts
― Jean-Claude Brand Ambassador (some dude), Friday, 20 September 2013 22:19 (twelve years ago)
ahhhhh I wish stations here would do that. JT getting his Journey on is the biggest bummer

first song sounds good, not paying attention to the lyrics tho... something about someone in a cage tho, prob not a good sign
― J0rdan S., Monday, 23 September 2013 20:53 (twelve years ago)
What even is this True Blood track?
― Greer, Monday, 23 September 2013 20:56 (twelve years ago)
honestly that whole track makes me think of the bears/menstruation myth

JT's the one to remake "Superbowl Shuffle."

heard 'take back the night' in a bud light platinum commercial - good classy product to attach your brand to, jt
― 乒乓, Monday, 23 September 2013 22:18 (twelve years ago)
so far this is kinda ugly and unpleasant where the first part was pretty lush

There isn't interesting enough production this time to help me ignore the lyrical bankruptcy on display here.
― Greer, Monday, 23 September 2013 22:52 (twelve years ago)
He is sexy.
― RRRRR, Monday, 23 September 2013 22:55 (twelve years ago)

is everyone overcompensating to make up for the wholly incorrect split decision on the last JT record or is this really genuinely as bad
― rap steve gadd (D-40), Monday, 23 September 2013 23:50 (twelve years ago)
no it makes the last one look better in retrospect esp from a conceptual level

you realize he's the "creative director" of bud light platinum right?
yeah i figured that out when i googled bud light platinum and his name was like 5th in the results.
it's truffle season... time for tuxedos for no reason [and bottles of Bud Light Platinum™, a bolder light beer that's triple filtered for that smooth top-shelf taste]
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 02:59 (twelve years ago)
but yes i thought everybody knew that justin timberlake was the creative director for bud light platinum. ask any man on the street, he'll look at you in the eye as if you're crazy before answering "why, of course it's justin timberlake"
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 03:00 (twelve years ago)
also just now realizing the... irony? uh, not sure what the appropriate word here is - of not only repurposing the phrase 'take back the night' for his first single but then going ahead and making the creative decision of using that song to sell beer to frathouse bros
― 乒乓, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 03:19 (twelve years ago)
part 2 is so so bad.
― I make $94k Based God (rennavate), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 05:14 (twelve years ago)

The Yoko bit in "Murder" is the most mortifying of Jay's career.
― first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 16:24 (twelve years ago)
― J0rdan S., Tuesday
Me too. It's the return of that worried falsetto I liked on the FS/LS title track. Also, he's not trying so hard lyrically.
― first I think it's time I kick a little verse! (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 24 September 2013 16:27 (twelve years ago)
haha i liked that part
― J0rdan S., Tuesday, 24 September 2013 16:36 (twelve years ago)
I dont know if Justin T is worthy of vocal praise
― RRRRR, Tuesday, 24 September 2013 23:10 (twelve years ago)
hoo boy i had assumed the negative reactions were embarrassed overcompensating but this really is so so bad
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 09:46 (twelve years ago)
the last song is ELEVEN MINUTES LONG?????
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 09:47 (twelve years ago)
his vocals are so pinched and lazy on this album
― lex pretend, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 09:51 (twelve years ago)
More pinched than usual? I didn't realise that was possible.
― Matt DC, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 10:04 (twelve years ago)
genuinely yes

well this was a waste of 27 seconds

was the entire album recorded at the same tempo?
― 乒乓, Wednesday, 25 September 2013 14:21 (twelve years ago)
