From Timbaland's tired beats and "chicky chicky"s to Justin's Michael Jackson vocals, couldn't he have added something new? It sounds pretty much like a collection of outtakes from his past albums which isn't necessarily bad but it's also overly long and the same type of beat permeates way too many of the songs which are the same beats he was using on his last album. I hear Like I Love You, What Goes Around etc. on it and it just makes me rather listen to the original. The album isn't bad but it could've been so much more. It's nice for easy listening but there is nothing crystal clear and 20/20 about it.
In a recent interview I heard of Timbaland, he seemed incredibly bitter that his music style wasn't still hot, and claimed that he was coming back to revitalize the industry but all he's done is brought back what isn't hot.

I still feel the exact same way. There are only 2-3 songs I still listen to voluntarily, and it's not even that often. Looking forward to the second part of this though, I have a feeling it's going to be much different.
