I only listened to it once but I wasn't really a fan of it and it made me think 1989 might've been a fluke.

I would like to hear a swift album produced by west. That would be epic. So, I hope the feud is all fake (but it seems like it probably isn't).

That�d be loving absurd and wonderful. Too bad it�s not likely at all, at least for the time being.

I haven't listened to it yet, but Slant magazine rated it 4/5 which is the highest they've ever rated a Taylor album before which is interesting. I'm curious to see where it falls on metacritic, not because scores matter, but to see if changing directions was well received or not.

lmao they rated it higher than 1989? Why? All the singles released so far have been trash. All of 1989 was gold.

Every song, barring the last one, has the same awful pseudo-trap production with the clicky hi-hat rolls and everything. It sounds awful, and could have come from anyone. She has no personality of her own on this thing, and her idiosyncrasies were what made her earlier albums good.

So every song sounds like Look What You Made Me Do? Hard pass

I have no idea what to think of this loving album, because there's Filthy which is a futuristic club banger, but there's also a song on it straight-up called "Flannel" and other tracks on there certainly have folk-y sounding titles, but who the gently caress knows at this point

I mean he is from Tennessee, so if he starts making pop bangers that really embrace where he's from, then yeah, I'm all good with that.

Filthy didn't sound like that at all though lol

it's a solid album but it's like four or five tracks too long. some really excellent tracks and some pretty bad ones.

I'd actually say the bad ones far outweigh the excellent ones, at least after my first listen. And yeah, it is too long in addition to having a lovely ratio of good songs:bad songs.

JT album is a solid 7/10 to me. It's 3-4 tracks too long but for the most part it's a smooth fun r&b album. It's not his strongest work but I don't get the vitriolic hatred surrounding this album at all, it's too inoffensive and earnest and goofy for me to imagine having a strong negative reaction to this

I'm just real disappointed because 20/20 Experience (1 of 2, not 2 because that album is more lovely b-sides from part 1 than its own thing) is legit one of my favorite albums ever and one I still listen to regularly years after its release. I think it's one of those rare start to finish perfect albums. It was full of weird experimental poo poo that I wouldn't have expected from loving Justin Timberlake. This one has some good moments, but nothing like that album did. And I wasn't expecting them to be the exact same album or anything, but this one's mostly by the numbers and it feels like a step down from 20/20 pt. 1

Instead of being an album I listen to all the way through for years like that one was, this is probably gonna drop off my radar entirely real soon.

I'm giving it another listen now and it's not hitting me any harder than it did the first time.

HorseRenoir posted:

20/20 is one of my favorite pop albums ever but I'm fine with JT making a light comfy dad-pop album for his family, he's already put in work and made some classic albums. He's old and has a wife and kid and has nothing to prove to anyone at this point in his career. I'm mostly just glad that he's embracing the fact that he's a dorky uncool dad now and he's not trying too hard to make an album that sounds hip and trendy like Taylor Swift did (aside from Supplies, which is the weakest song on the album)

Anyways, MGMT is dropping the best pop album of the year next Friday and I'm probably going to be listening to that for months on end.

Morning Light is Justin Timberlake becoming a lame dad in a 4 minute song. There's no music video for it yet, but you can just picture the khaki shorts and sunglasses he'd be wearing in it.
