    Ngl when I heard Drown, I was super excited. And I liked the first skim through it.

    But Drown is still by far my favorite

    The album isn’t terrible by any means, just impossibly bland. Really wish he’d taken the “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize…” approach instead of catering to his fanbase and playing it as safe as possible. Between Alisha Wainwright, the Britney memoir, and widely-reported marital issues, this was a hugely missed opportunity to actually be vulnerable, tell the media to f--- off, and create compelling music. Instead, he made something completely inoffensive, pandering, and generic — the JT equivalent of Revival.

    Content aside, it’s remarkable that the instrumentals and beat switches on 2006's FutureSex/LoveSounds sound light years more futuristic and ambitious than anything here. What the h--- happened to Timbaland and Danja?

    AI level of bland, so disappointing I shouldn’t have tried to cope myself into believing it was going to be anything like the golden era after we got Man of the Woods.

    It's been a while and I listened to it once again after they hype died down for me so here's my ranking:
    1. 20/20 part 1
    2. Futuresex/Lovesounds
    3. 20/20 part 2
    4. Justified
    5. EITIW
    6. s--- in the woods

    Pretty excited about EITIW at first and it's got some good s--- (f---ing up the disco, sanctified, technicolor, drown) but the rest is pretty forgettable tbh

    67 Justin Timberlake songs leaked about 8 months ago. It was unreleased tracks from all his studio albums. Shadows and Nocturnal Lover are definitely worth checking out.

    I still listen to this album, but it definitely don’t have the same level of replay value of his classics. It’s to be expected. Still kinda shocked Drown didn’t hit or make it to radio. I feel like his DUI and Twitter bringing back up the Janet controversy from 20 years ago overshadowed the album. Lol

    Still I think technicolor, Favorite Drug, and Flame could have been bigger and more beloved songs. I guess this generation just don’t care for JT, and us millennials fans moved on. I know his tours are still doing well, but it’s mostly soccer moms that grew up on Nsync and justin. I was hoping one of this songs could be a bigger hit like say something or Can’t stop the feeling. Oh well.

    imagination and alone grew on me the most. Fav song is still technicolor & Drown. Maybe cuz they sound like vintage JT songs.

    Oh yeah and Fuckingnup the disco and no angels are an amazing way to start off the album. Memphis literally could have been cut. It’s giving Justin Bieber. Lmfao

    Only thing I care about is the Future Sex Love Sound era of music.

    That is BY FAR his best material.
