I just got to the lyric, “But then your hands talkin’, fingers walkin’/Down your legs, hey, there’s the faucet.”

The pitchfork pan is pretty good
Timberlake may have yanked back the reins on the interminable song lengths of The 20/20 Experience, but many of these tracks still manage to overstay their welcome by a minute or two. They don’t have the hooks or the dynamism to justify their continued existence: phrases get recycled, breakdowns feel like intrusions from completely different songs, grooves are sought but remain undiscovered. “Midnight Summer Jam” is a sub-Robin Thicke boogie with a sub-John Popper harmonica solo; “Sauce” is Beyoncé’s “Don’t Hurt Yourself” cut with a jug full of pond water. And there’s no refuge from the lyrics, which in many places engender the same mix of emotions you’d confront upon walking in on your parents having sex.

Walking in on your parents having sex is an accident, not an embarrassment.

Walking in on your parents not having sex is an embarrassment.
Length of song would be irrelevant if the songs were catchy and hooky (see: almost all dance music ever made).

if this is the case (haven't heard the song) the rest of the review can be written off, people who can't tell a clav from a harmonica are not qualified to write about music

No, I was wrong, it's a harmonica, courtesy of Elliott Ives. Huge self own

Man, that song was so annoying, like the worst ringtone for 5 minutes.
not sure I want to listen to the rest of the album after these 3 singles...

i basically agree with whiney's review except i'd give it a lower rating. album doesn't really recover from "wave" -> "supplies." i like "the hard stuff" tho
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 2 February 2018 14:57 (six years ago) link
also good review whiney, the sentence about "sauce" is amazing/hilarious/otm

Ha – Whiney dislikes the songs I think are okay.

Sorry, Whiney, can't read your review because people who can't tell a clav from a harmonica are not qualified to write about music
― EZ Snappin, Friday, 2 February 2018 15:08 (six years ago) link
surprised that your review is so... positive !so there are some good songs in there ?hum. I might give it a try, then...
― AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 2 February 2018 15:19 (six years ago) link
i also think “flannel” sucks, he overloads the cheese which i’d normally be down with but the song is so lazily constructed and not even interested in itself
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 2 February 2018 15:22 (six years ago) link
there are some ok-to-good parts on this album but i can’t emphasize enough how much “wave” and “supplies” are black holes down which all my good faith toward the record completely disappears
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 2 February 2018 15:23 (six years ago) link
also it’s prob naive to go into a justin timberlake album without steeling yourself for some really bad lyrics but the lyrics on the title track absolutely ruin it for me
― flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 2 February 2018 15:28 (six years ago) link
I thought his first two albums sounded pretty effortless, and I still like them. I think the last couple have sounded like they were given way too much thought, which is a bad strategy for someone who is not a deep thinker. Would have been better if this one was just JT goofing over leftover Bubba Sparxxx beats.
― Josh in Chicago, Friday, 2 February 2018 15:29 (six years ago) link
"Breeze Off the Pond" is so far the only one that makes good on its title.
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 2 February 2018 15:29 (six years ago) link
but then I like when JT goes acoustic over beats. I may be the only person who dug "Not a Bad Thing."
― morning wood truancy (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Friday, 2 February 2018 15:30 (six years ago) link
i like “not a bad thing”. i think that’s why i like “the hard stuff” too
