Justin Timberlake - Everything I Thought It Was (March 15, 2024) Album • Page 7

Lance always hinted that JC was the holdout.

 

I can see them doing a few concerts at stadiums in major cities, but can't picture a full fledged tour. I don't think some of those guys still have the stamina to be dancing and singing for 2 hours a night 2 months straight.

 

Why are his albums SO. GODDAMN. LONG?

 

This thing is somehow longer than any of his past albums, and some of those are truly endless. Going to be hard for me to tear myself away from the new Kacey to give this a full playthrough...

 

This album... is pretty enjoyable. Suffers from cheesiness at times (common for him of course), being overbloated and long... but there's plenty of good stuff here. Doesn't really hit his highest of highs, but it's nowhere near bad. Definitely more on the chill end of the spectrum and I would say overall relatively "safe." I think there is easily a 10-12 track album in here that would is very good.

 

On first listen this is very bland. Feels like a lesser/more streamlined version of stuff he's done before

 

I thought there was some pretty good stuff on here (the lyrics not being one of them, as expected) but it’s wayyyy too long. On my second listen I had to bail during Technicolor.

 

yeah makes sense. They (read: him and his team) really fumbled the bag with his solo career

 

The first thing i said when i looked at Spotify is “this is way too long” and that seems to be consensus.

 

Any artist with an album over 11 songs has too many songs

 

Nah, there's many albums with more than 11 songs that justify the length.

 

This is really a snooze.

 

i enjoyed it. agree on the length though. it's a long listen

 

This at 18 tracks is roughly the same length as each 20/20 Experience is and those had fewer songs on them.

 

I like it, it's long, could be trimmed. Shoulda saved some stuff to go deluxe instead. But, from a song perspective, some good stuff here.

 

I mean some 20/20 songs are 8 minutes long and could easily have been split up into 2 tracks.

 

i think the issue is the 20/20 experience is an hour and 10 minutes of brilliance. this is an hour and 17 of some good, some blah. make its drag

 

Play sounds so much like Fame by David Bowie

 

Fuckin’! Up The Disco

 

Great Tiny Desk and they somehow managed to fit 15 people in there.

SET LIST "Señorita" "Rock Your Body" "Pusher Love Girl" "Until The End Of Time" "Selfish" "What Goes Around" "SexyBack"

 

I thought the same thing.

 

Just got through the first 6 songs. So far my only complaint is that Technicolor is 2 minutes too long, but still a good vibe.

 

Enjoying this much more than Man of the Woods.

 

Like others said - some good, some bad. That rap in “Memphis” is embarrassing. A lot of this feels like it could have been made by anyone, which is disappointing because Timberlake had a fairly unique sound.
