808dream Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 No Angels sounds really good. I also liked Drown, it'd have been a better lead single choice than Selfish if you ask me. The whole album sounds promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motivation93 Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Did Timbaland and pharrell produce some of this? Gonna be so real and say it sounds good but def a little watered down and geared to radio and I’m wondering why Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popboi. Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 (edited) We now know how basically most of the album sounds like (the 8 instagram snippets, the 2 singles, Sanctified and My Favorite Drug) and Love & War is the only one that kinda loses me, the rest is return to form JT.

Johnny Cash Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 Aside from Sanctified, the slower/mid-tempo songs don't seem to be on par with the ones he's done in the past. They don't sound as good or memorable as Higher Higher, Say Something, That Girl, Dress On or Amnesia. The more uptempo songs sound great though, some of the best he's done since FS/LS.

Some of the snippets so far are OK but... I know music is a youth game and maybe I spend too much time on TikTok but a lot of the snippets sound a bit dated to me. Working with Pharell and Timbaland has served him well in the past but music is a whole diff world these days but he should've worked with newer and more current producers. But I still going to wait before I judge this album, I actually like MOTW (Higher Higher, Breeze off the Pond and Livin' Off The Land I still listen to).

sam.teas Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Little disclaimer: This brief review is intentionally empty of explicit spoilers, as I prefer to maintain a certain level of ambiguity in my comments to avoid potential controversies. Also, this was my first experience with an album by Justin Timberlake, and I want to emphasise that this comment is driven by my personal opinion and does not intend to offend or disrespect his fans and his music choices and productions. At the moment, I cannot claim to be entirely satisfied with the album, and I still find it difficult to fully immerse myself, or at least mostly, in its content, perhaps due to its length or because it requires time to be fully appreciated. Overall, the album offers a musically and lyrically valid construction, although in some parts, there are noticeable slowdowns due to the content and subject matter (love, passion, hate and fun). It is an album that demonstrates a high degree of inspiration, clearly showcasing talent and the desire to express it fully in the final work, especially through lyrical creativity. However, the length of the record might be an important and "critical" element, with some parts feeling heavy or too slow, causing a sense of "regression" in listening. But, beyond this detail, it's normal to feel too young for this sound, as the album blends elements typical of the last decades of the last century with the innovations of current productions, such as reverberations and electronic background vocals (as seen in Memphis and No Angels). The adoption of this sound approach might initially generate a sense of inadequacy, as I personally experienced, but it could\can diminish with further listens. The emotionally engaging tracks are numerous and capable of capturing the listener's attention, alternating between soft and slow moments to exciting and fresh ones, and moments of lyrical and productive sensuality. Debatable, in my opinion, is the choice of singles and their order: it's clearly a matter of marketing decisions, preferences, and record label's influence, but personally, I would have preferred replacing Drown with My Favourite Drug. At the moment, I am unable to provide a definitive judgment on the album, but I can say that it is a pleasant, complex, and sharp work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceOddity Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Did I ever think a Justin album would excite me ever again? Not in a million years. But, every snippet so far has me and a couple friends who don't care about him pretty hyped. This might be his best release since FutureSex. As long as none of the songs pull a Filthy, meaning: a great production that's dragged down by all-over-the-place nonsensical melodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
