It's a clavinet not a harmonica

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

mixtape for after you get harmsonned

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

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 2 February 2018 14:48 (six years ago) link

hey a harmonica cell phone would rule

Man, that song was so annoying, like the worst ringtone for 5 minutes.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 2 February 2018 14:49 (six years ago) link

not sure I want to listen to the rest of the album after these 3 singles...

AlXTC from Paris, Friday, 2 February 2018 14:51 (six years ago) link

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

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 2 February 2018 14:55 (six years ago) link

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

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 2 February 2018 14:58 (six years ago) link

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

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 2 February 2018 15:35 (six years ago) link

Speaking about parent sex, the last song dedicated to his son has this line:

“Beautiful boy, got it from your momma
Damn, she look good, you might get a sister”

So hijacking the thread to guess about the superbowl performance.

Which songs do you think he’ll perform? Will it help the perceived failure of this comeback? Which guest artists do you think will feature or will he do it solo?

Maybe Pharrell? Timbaland? Chris Stapleton? He said this in a press conference:

When asked if he would have special guests during the halftime show, Justin responded, "I think Vegas has a lot of odds on it, I heard. You know, from NSYNC to Jay z to Chris Stapleton to Janet”

I'm very glad I'm not the type of herb that would rather listen to Rhye and Rich Chigga than Justin Timberlake

6 Albums Out Today You Should Listen To Instead of Justin Timberlake

....... huh

flamenco drop (BradNelson), Friday, 2 February 2018 18:54 (six years ago) link

Lol what did Justin Timberlake did to pitchfork? It frels personal at this point.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Friday, 2 February 2018 19:14 (six years ago) link

Them and Sgum were doing the same trampoline flying dunks for Eminem's last album. They're coming for Jack White next

I think the new hipster poptimism means a real tribal sense of calling anything super mainstream either REALLY REALLY GOOD or REALLY REALLY BAD. It's almost like the old college radio vs mersh divide but recalibrated for a world where Rihanna is the Pixies

Whiney G. Weingarten, Friday, 2 February 2018 19:20 (six years ago) link

easy target & easy way to get points for dunking on a white dude perceived to be making a 'back to my roots' (white) album after years of working with black musicians

flappy bird, Friday, 2 February 2018 19:20 (six years ago) link

The only album on that list being reviewed today besides justin’s is field music. Good enough to get recommended over JT but not good enough to get reviewed

i think it's an interesting thing to track but also all the albums in this group -- JT, eminem, katy perry, even gaga to an extent -- are not very good and could easily be argued to be really really bad

J0rdan S., Friday, 2 February 2018 19:24 (six years ago) link

the story might be what you're describing or what the uproxx post is describing... it could also be that major pop stars are for some reason dropping really bad albums

J0rdan S., Friday, 2 February 2018 19:24 (six years ago) link

the taylor album is the only one to buck this trend in a sense but she's a whole other ball of wax

J0rdan S., Friday, 2 February 2018 19:25 (six years ago) link

the miley cyrus album too
