This album title (and the dumb making-of video) keeps making me think of this recent Dollop podcast: http://thedollop.libsyn.com/307-naked-joseph-knowles

he managed to release a song that's just dull instead of a trainwreck

a minor point but whoever did the lighting in the Say Something video should be sacked. You can't see anything.

Is that video actually live like in other blogoteque videos? I think it’s impressive if that’s the case even if aided by playback.
Song is decent compared to previous singles, lyrics are terrible.

i was driving thru north GA and they were talking about this on local talk radio with the 2 DJs (a man and a woman) promoting the upcoming tour. they played a really short clip and it was just overprocessed generic radio garbage. when it cut back to the DJs they said "They doesn't sound like country for an album called Man of the Woods". that was it, they didn't play the song, they started talking about something else.
its a missed opportunity cos Justin Timberlake is actually from Tennessee and grew up outside of Memphis singing in gospel choirs. he could be a modern Elvis if he wanted but he wants to sound like a generic robot instead. imagine if he had recorded a non-EDM album of him singing country songs. i think he might have the chops to do something good and not just millennial whoop stuff. he knows tons of musicians, he could easily throw a band together, probably with alt country guest stars and stuff. they could play new material and songs he learned as a kid and sang w his family etc. have it produced by Jack White.

all of the songs from this have been dogshit so far but we don't have to invent bad things about them

also this is neither here nor there, i enjoyed the first part of 20/20 when it came out but literally nothing timberlake's done since 2013 has suggested that he cares about music

this is such a disastrous album. i'm 11 songs and what feels like three hours in
― monotony, Friday, 2 February 2018 04:06 (six years ago) link
"sauce", the title track, "flannel", some of the most abysmal songs i've heard in years
there's an interlude in the middle where jessica biel talks about how she feels like she's "his" when she wears her husband's shirt
― monotony, Friday, 2 February 2018 04:09 (six years ago) link
people have been citing "montana" as a highlight but to me it just sounds like a run off the mill album track from...idk chromeo or something
anyway! i hate this and hope it flops really hard! #justiceforjanet

It’s not terrible but it goes to show timbaland and timberlake are severely out of touch.

ahah, oh wow that "Man of the Woods" song/video !it confirms that it's all just a joke...

Does the album have a song called "Chiggers"?

every song feels about two minutes too long but this time around the songs are only four minutes long anyway

I guess he thinks the Neptunes are his Jimmy Jam-Terry Lewis: co-creators of jams and ballads that sonically endlessly reinvent themselves.

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.

It's a clavinet not a harmonica

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).

Walking in on yourself having sex is potentially awkward.

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
