I've played this three times and... nope, not liking it. :/
― Roz, Monday, 14 January 2013 06:34 (eleven years ago) link
i've played this about seven times and yes i think i am kind of liking it
― monotony, Monday, 14 January 2013 06:44 (eleven years ago) link
and yes that intro is ungainly and jay-z is unsurprisingly lacklustre but those harps! the corny horns! JT you can show me a few things.
― monotony, Monday, 14 January 2013 06:48 (eleven years ago) link
The intro had me fearing the worst, but the song isn't bad, really. It's not that good, either, but it improves in the slow section after Jay's interminable guest verse - and for some reason the main groove sounds better when it comes back around in the mostly wordless coda. No way the album's gonna be as epochal as the last one was unless Tim has some genius new co-producer nobody's heard waiting in the wings. Still looking forward to it, cautiously.

JT and Timbo go Las Vegas. I kinda like it though, Jiggaboo and all.
― future kendricks (longneck), Monday, 14 January 2013 09:19 (eleven years ago) link
i quite like that he's gone with this type of song for his big comeback, and the song itself isn't bad at all, but the intro and jay-z need to be cut out so badly
― lex pretend, Monday, 14 January 2013 09:25 (eleven years ago) link
Ha, heard the intro, thought 'why the fuck has he released a skit' Got me worried for a minute. Got a lovely vibe, bit Inspiration Information.

Jiggaboo
uh
― The Reverend, Monday, 14 January 2013 09:46 (eleven years ago) link
really sorry about that - pretty inexcusable - i was thinking along the lines of jigga being the huge r&b single's best friend (boo) but it came out 100% wrong.
― future kendricks (longneck), Monday, 14 January 2013 10:04 (eleven years ago) link
pretty lightweight summer joint, sounds fine to me
sort of expecting something along the lines of "your drums, your love" though

haha i was waiting for that, or something like that

Loving the new jam
― Raymond Cummings, Monday, 14 January 2013 11:33 (eleven years ago) link
I was expecting something very bad after the first reactions but I just listened to it and it's pretty smooth.nothing amazing/big comeback but really nice. I think this could grow on me.anyway, I don't really see how he could have came up with something that meets the expectations after such a long time.

Would've loved Gucci Mane on this. Or T.I.. Even Drake! ANYONE BUT JAY-Z.
― bish (bosch), don't kill my vibe (rennavate), Monday, 14 January 2013 16:18 (eleven years ago) link
or NO GUEST AT ALL
but i bet i hated "sexy back" at first and then the album was brilliant so still holdin out hope.
there was so much on Futuresex that hinted to some awesome territory for him. why can't he go further into the sound he hinted at on the title track and "sexy ladies" etc
this is a step backward
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Monday, 14 January 2013 16:20 (eleven years ago) link
also, Justin timberlake is excited about getting dressed up in a suit. you're a fucking adult millionaire dude. get over it
― surfboard dudes get wiped out, totally, Monday, 14 January 2013 16:23 (eleven years ago) link
whatever, i like this, jay-z verse apart. underwhelming as a single, though.
― bish (bosch), don't kill my vibe (rennavate), Monday, 14 January 2013 16:26 (eleven years ago) link
also this feels like timbo doing neptunes

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
― the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 14 January 2013 17:00 (eleven years ago) link
"sexyback" is the best song on FS/LS

and always was

― 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.
