Justin Timberlake in 2013

let the record show that i was otm about the kanye west daft punk song too

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.

do you think it sounds like tom waits?

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

not sure Thicke would be above using the line about dinner and the oven though

Tom Waits def not above using it

I def get Thicke vibes from this.

thin mix ithough

but jt begat thicke in the first place

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

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

yeah i mean career-wise, vocal style wise, even, not song-wise

never forget

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.

If you compare "Justified" to "A beautiful World" the comparison bears even less scrutiny.

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

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

it's not miles off from "love on top" or "lay up under me" territory

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").

yeah exactly xp

but 'love on top' is amazing (although it probably wouldn't stick out as much without those key changes)

This is pretty great, clunker of an intro expected. His voice is really different!

hahahahahaha that intro really terrified me but once it got past that, dope

but 'love on top' is amazing (although it probably wouldn't stick out as much without those key changes)

I wasn't equating them quality-wise, just saying they're both working similar aesthetics.

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

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 !

reminds me of that thing someone said like he could have been the new MJ and he decided to be the new ashton kutcher...

heard this in the car today, very early 90s sounding, sounds like the bridge of "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss"

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.

Me too. I hope it's a really solid, brief album instead of a murky long-distance run with more valleys than peaks.

ILX-precovers or what !?

as for the number of tracks/length, yeah, I agree.
that's one of the things I like about the MBV album.

OK, if there's an ILX-precovers, I can already hear "blue ocean floor" !

err... wasn't it supposed to have 20 tracks, though ?

haters to the left

"mirrors"

can't shake the feeling he's recorded an album of wedding songs

This is terrible. Same stock Ryan Tedder bullshit that's been recorded by 100 different singers over the past 10 years. Fuck this.

JT did absolutely nothing to get out from the bottom of my Mickey Mouse Club Actor power rankings.
