we had about 15 kids (12 and under) watching it and they were all like "this is weird / lame" "i dont like this who is this" and then 'cant stop the feeling' came on....

my 1 year old girl was rocking back and forth the whole time, my 3 year old boy paid no attention at all
I think y'all are on to something here

I tried to convince my 3 yr old to watch cuz "there are people dancing, you like people dancing" she was non-plussed and demanded we watch whatever she wanted to watch.

i watched with a music savvy crowd on a tv with a nice soundsystemthat said the “it’s supposed to be background noise” argument is a ... strange one? jt’s voice and the mixing itself was bad, and it was noticeable even in the context of the telecast

Vocals sounded weird/bad to me but I was unclear if it was on purpose or a bad mix or what
― chr1sb3singer, Monday, 5 February 2018 21:06 (six years ago) link
Usually in these sorts of situations where I assume there are scads of professionals working on it when stuff sounds weird to me I just think its me and not that it's bad or mistake

What are you going to believe, your ears, or science?

eheh, exactly !Why not for a cartoon ost or something but on an album (and more so a supposedly "serious/spiritual/whatever" album)...

"supplies": because "Carry Out" wasn't bizarre and strained enough a metaphor
― algorithm is a dancer (katherine), Tuesday, 6 February 2018 19:10 (six years ago) link
how many jt songs are extremely strained metaphors. i relistened to 20/20 the other week and as far as i can tell it's almost all of them

lol i forgot about "carry out"

what i wrote on lex FB. which is probably totally wrong but i kinda would have liked to see all-in faux-cowboy JT for some reason. i think it was that village people handkerchief that made me wish for it:
Scott Seward "if he really wanted to get woodsy he should have made a big pop-country album with huge nashville hitmakers handing him hooks for days and a smash duet with t-swift that premiered AT the halftime show. would have been the biggest seller of the year in the u.s."
― scott seward, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 00:01 (six years ago) link
i agree with you there. somewhere along the way whatever message he meant to come with got muddled.

"say something" isn't horrible; maybe shoulda just done an album of duets with Stapleton if he wanted to be in this lane?

i can't imagine Timberlake's voice over a country-ass country song
― vicious almond beliefs (crüt), Wednesday, 7 February 2018 00:50 (six years ago) link
I have this feeling he just does not care that much anymore. There's some good songs in there, but even these good songs leave me with the impression another younger/hungrier artist would have made it better.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 01:03 (six years ago) link
Perhaps he should go the Charli route and release mixtapes of shit he really cares about. This whole album with a concept thing just seem so heavy on him.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 01:05 (six years ago) link
Also, christ, 16 songs. I know this is the streaming era, but please edit.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 01:07 (six years ago) link
if i was ever a recording artist, i would release 8-song albums with 12 bonus tracks each with a 5 second sound effect from a synth preset just to goose the numbers

my big takeaway from watching him sing and dance in HD on a giant TV was: wow, Justin Timberlake is 37 years old
― alpine static, Wednesday, 7 February 2018 05:28 (six years ago) link
Tom Brady is 40.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Wednesday, 7 February 2018 16:13 (six years ago) link
Timberlake eats tomatoes, he won't make it to 40

So I've tried to listen to more of this album. the father/son stuff is awful, the husband/wife stuff is cringey, the looney tunes song is wtf, etc."Montana" which seems to be the favourite song for many people is just meh to me.I think the only thing I enjoy is "Higher Higher". And the funky part from "Filthy" (minus some of the vocals)...Good job JT !
