It's R&B/Pop.

Not even three songs in and it is not R&B/Pop. Just cause he's white.

It's not even worth planning out singles for the era because there's really next to nothing on this album that's radio friendly. I'll need to listen more, but radio won't be playing anything else but Suit & Tie & Mirrors most likely.

20/20 will, however, see a lot of critical acclaim & I see an AotY Nom coming its way. And the opening week #s will be huge - in the 500K+ region.

There are some potential single ready tracks. It just really depends. I'm also going to need to listen to the album more. People thought S&T would flop. Mirrors definetly won't as it is flawless. The 3rd single really depends though. I could see some tracks heavily radio edited doing okay.

No one heard S&T and predicted a top 40 smash. I think radio is changing and becoming a lot less black and white, just look at some songs that have been smashing recently.

Okay, Pusher Love Girl is fantastic and lived up to the live version. HOWEVER why would you add all that nonsense at the end JT... where it "originally" ended was the perfect flow into Suit & Tie! Oh well... if it's really that big of a deal I'll just make iTunes cut it off.

I wonder how the other songs will be. FS/LS was pretty fine with the interludes.

[Katy.Kat.23]

I split up some of the songs and made them interludes, and edited the rest to be shorter. This album slays whenever the songs aren't 20 minutes long

Yes it is. iTunes wouldn't lie.

The ending of "Strawberry Bubblegum" reminds me of Janet's "When We OOOO," very nostalgic. I love it.

Don't Stop The Wall and Tunnel Vision

[PurrKaty]

I don't know if people posted this already but Justin Timberlake is on Jimmy Fallon everyday this week and he is performing a song every night. Tonight he is doing Pusher Love Girl and the interview was really funny!!! Jimmy is also going on and on about how good the album is and how it's gonna be huge! Which I do believe because it is amazing!! And Jimmy Fallin said its Timber Week!!

[Ares]

3rd Single should be LTGI. Makes me wanna dance. OR DHTW. Of course they have to have radio edits. Tunnel Vision next. Idk about Blue Ocean Floor being a single, but I want a video for it. I can see SB being a single.

[Chamber]

Timberlake is on Fallon right now and they're both discussing/impersonating the singing style of Aaron Hall (!) Who other than serious R&B heads casually discusses Aaron Hall? I'm actually impressed.

I'm finishing "Tunnel Vision" now. Love it. I can see why RS uses neo/soul comparison. It edges on it. Musical genius.!

Just listened to the stream on itunes and its horrible - not that I expected much to begin with (no pun intended). This album basically reconfirmed why I never was able to get into his music. The vocals are weak and soppy, basic lyrics with little to no content, recycled beats from first 2 album, and the song length. I think his team thought let's mimic everything Robin Thicke has done musically and sonically - I even hear some Jon B influences. The thing Justin lacks from those two men are strong vocals, his deliver isn't believable. Its fine that he wanted to do an R&B record but at least deliver some strong vocals as R&B is based off Blues and his voices does not have emotions nor does it have a unique tone. The album was poorly written, planned - once again, I wasn't expecting much, but this has to be the worst album of the year for me. I'm a huge fan of R&B music so I know a good R&B/Neo-Soul record when I hear one. This is just a desperate attempt from Justin to get sales ala ADELE but he doesn't have the talent to reach a huge demographic as ADELE was able to do. Also, like to mention that this album isn't cohesive, there isn't a clear vision. Yes, I see where he was trying to go but the vision is not clear and some of the songs are just long for the heck of it. The length drags on until you just basically have to skip it. I find it funny that he thinks the extra length will give the album depth when he basically added bsides from his first two albums and had Timbaland reproduce, because I hear no originality nor uniqueness from this album. I give this album a F
