Let's anticipate Justin Timberlake's Man of the Woods...?

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"?

lol

the bear is a deep cut nod to his role as Boo Boo in the Yogi Bear movie

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

think it’s just bc it’s the first sign of life after “flannel”

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.”

oh no

I swear to god this album and its videos are a tribute to the unabomber.

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).

There's a poll idea in here.

Walking in on yourself having sex is potentially awkward.

Don't give him any ideas for his next black mirror cyber video.

read this as "poon water"

I'm calling it now: highlight of halftime show will be Janet performing Rhythm Nation, with JT sidelined a la Coldplay that year.

"Hey, Alfred, what's – whoa! Sorry!"

"Hey, man, it's all good. Join me!"

Ah, Florida.

There's the faucet? what does that mean?

Ah, Florida.

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

Rolling Harmonica Self Owns '18

mixtape for after you get harmsonned

? That's definitely a harmonica, though barely a solo.

hey a harmonica cell phone would rule

xpost Ha.

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 fuck w/ a lot of this album btw

specifically tracks 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 9, 11, 14 & 15

That's a lot of songs to fuck with, I'll give you that.

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

also good review whiney, the sentence about "sauce" is amazing/hilarious/otm

Ha – Whiney dislikes the songs I think are okay.

xpost Thanks, I was glad they let me keep that.

oh fuckin hell Alicia Keys

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

surprised that your review is so... positive !
so there are some good songs in there ?
hum. I might give it a try, then...

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

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

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

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.

"Breeze Off the Pond" is so far the only one that makes good on its title.

but then I like when JT goes acoustic over beats. I may be the only person who dug "Not a Bad Thing."

i like “not a bad thing”. i think that’s why i like “the hard stuff” too
