it's pretty decent

it's not exactly the comeback anthem i was hoping for, but hopefully that's still coming.

timbo shows some signs that he's can advance on his increasingly rusty sound, but kanye would've been a much better choice for guest mega-rapper on this shit, jay struggles a bit.

- As Timberlake's history has shown us
  
  1st single is good, but 2nd single is better.
  
  Justified - Like I Love You was good, Cry Me A River was better.
  FS/LS - SexyBack was good, My Love was way better.
  20/20 - Suit and Tie is good, but I'm expecting the real goods to come with his next song.

    Actually prefer it to the Black Album, which is just about the most overrated record in hip hop. Good selection of beats, a few bangers, and some lazy attempts at introspection. Snore. Put it 5th after RD, Blueprint, AG & Vol. 1.
    
    What I'm trying to say is that he needs to stick to talking about slinging crack. It was all he was ever really good at... That and talking about being 'the best mayne' which has warn paper fucking thin.

I think Mirrors is awesome.

I like how Timabaland is referencing My Love and some of his classic Aaliyah beats with the beatboxing. What with the almost boyband 'soaring' pop chorus it makes me feel nostalgic for R&B's early '00s heyday. I love how it basically transforms into a smooth The-Dream/Kellz style slow jam past 5 minutes too.

Also it totally doesn't feel 8 minutes long. Shit flys by.

  Vian @Pale-eyedBadger | 15 Mar '13, 11:21 | X | ^ This | Reply
So am I alone in really liking this?

A lot of my Twitter feed seems to be taking against it for being long and boring. For me, these spacious, expansive songs were my favourite thing about FutureSex and I'm glad to see him really run with it this time. Sure, he could of gone for more variation, and I think there's definitely an argument that Timbaland isn't actually capable of producing an album of concise pop magic any more, but personally I'm really happy with this direction. 'Don't Hold the Wall' and 'Mirrors' are probably my favourites so far and the last song is really nice too.

Having said that, I'm fully aware that I'm a massive fanboy and not in the best position to view this record with any kind of objectivity. So go ahead and tell me why I'm wrong.

Kyle_ | 12 Mar '13, 15:35 | X | ^ This | Reply
- The amount of people deciding how good or bad it is halfway through one listen is mental.
  
  I bet if Prince had released Sign O' The Times in 2013 around 40% of the people listening to it would've probably binned the second disc in favour of a game of Angry Birds or some shit. Instant gratification NOWNOWNOW gangnam harlem yolo iPhone culture etc.
  
  It's brilliant, aside from tracks 1 and 3 which are guff. The songs have room to breath, they evolve naturally, plenty of interesting ideas in there, and some wonderful tender moments too. The last tune is amazing.

  I think my earlier claim of it being indistinct is fair though insofar as it's an album-album rather than a collection of songs. It's melting into itself somewhat which is no bad thing.

so impressed on first listen

and i dont know why i didnt expect this to be really great because both FS/LS and Justified hold up really well as full albums that are loaded with hits and are really creative. definite prince influence even moreso than on the other records, pretty much every track was really enjoyable and well put-together.

tunnel vision especially, timbaland went in on that production.
mirrors is probably the best tho.

emmettcruddas | 12 Mar '13, 16:33 | X | ^ This | Reply
i think that song + reprise formula gets a bit tired when it's used on every track

and it doesn't help that none of them are as good as lovestoned.

i find the lounge style tracks a bit boring

but there are really good moments scattered throughout. and tunnel vision is fantastic.

Who on earth said that Timbaland was done?!

I've just finished my first listen. There were more ideas (with a 80% hit rate, at least) than most artists would manage in an entire career. The only song that didn't work (although the coda was ace) was Let The Groove Get In.

Loved the N*Sync reference at the end of Strawberry Bubblegum :D

Agreed with Vian. JT makes it sound so effortlessly sexy.

Think it will reward repeated listens too.

Ace.

Finally digging in here.

Dont Hold The Wall coda/switch-up was made just for me, A+ stuff. The whole song is great, though. Kinda vintage Timbaland but still sounds 2013 fresh. Love the ever-so-slight details that creep in the action over the last few minutes. Talkbox for life.

  that 8.4 BNM means the following happened:
  
  "fuck, we only 8.1'd FS/LS [at a time when high-ranking pop albums were super fucking rare] and then had it nestled in our top 100 of the 00s plus My Love was no.1 of the year. gotta make amends with the next JT record"
  
  "OMG NEW JT RECORD EVERY1 GET THE BNM READY"
  
  ~ Endless stream of JT-related material over the past two months ~

Yeah so I'm a bit late to the party but I really, really love a lot of this record now

Don't hold the wall & Let the groove in were instant favourites but the singles have also grown on me massively, as has Pusher love girl. The lyrics of Strawberry bubblegum make my teeth grind a little but musically it's gorgeous. The only shit thing really is that ballad about 2/3s in and Jay-Z's pointless rap on Suit & tie.

Overall, probably just prefer Futuresexlovesounds in it's entirety, but prefer it to the debut (though obviously the debut has 2 or 3 of his best singles on it).
