Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience

[the tourist]

Part 2 would be a lot better if Timbaland would just shut the hell up for a few minutes.

Yes.

Justin Timberlake Concert Setlist at Barclays Center, Brooklyn on November 6, 2013 | setlist.fm

 

[Aygo]

32 songs in only one concert? I hope this guy comes to Portugal with a setlist like this!

 

[joyfulgirl]

Holy shit. Saw JT last night.

HOLY SHIT!

Freaking amazing.

Cry Me a River and Mirrors were just about the greatest things ever.

 

[cobl04]

I think he's coming here next year, definitely going to see him. With Bonnie.

 

[joyfulgirl]

It was actually one of my favorite concerts I've ever seen. I just couldn't stop smiling the whole night. It was also one of the best audiences I've ever experienced. JT said it was the best audience of the tour so far but he might say that to everyone. The response was extraordinary, though. I had to put my hands over my ears because of how loud the applause was (and I was already wearing earplugs!).

 

[HeartlandGirl]

Today I'm finally listening to the 20/20 Experience...

 

[lazarus]

Just popping in here to say that while I agree with the consensus that 20/20 v.2 doesn't have nearly as many highlights as v.1, I really, really love Not A Bad Thing. Sure, a little cheesy, but what an infectious pop melody.

Why wasn't this a single?

 

[cobl04]

Saw him tonight. What a fucking great show. I hate stadium gigs with a passion, but it was still really fucking good. He played for two-and-a-half hours, which was amazing, and I forgot just how many hits he has had. The setup is amazing and genuinely great to look at, especially when the stage descends forward in the second half of the show and JT and his back up singers are prancing around all over it. Full band, so the songs sounded amazing. Highlights for me were Let the Groove Get in (prob my fav JT song) and Mirrors, but yeah, just a seriously great show all-round.

Anyone else seen him?

 

[joyfulgirl]

 

[cobl04]

He also sang the croissants line from I Am A God, just to top it all off.

 

[intedomine]

It was really good. I was at the first Melbourne gig. The sound in "arena mode" was shocking though but out position was a fair bit to the right hand side. I'd advised mates attending the following night to try and get more central in case it sounded better.


I thought the first half of the show was underwhelming (especially the opening to Lovestoned - a song I adore) given the hype, but the second half was pretty special, especially with that moving stage arrangement. Thought he was gonna fall into the crowd at one point. Tunnel Vision, Not A Bad Thing, Sexyback and the song about drinking alcohol were really quite memorable.

Timberlake's a talent... and a Hawthorn supporter apparently.

Irony, apparently, is dead.

A few years ago, he was doing an impersonation of Bon Iver of SNL... now he's making his own Bon Iver album



Still hyped tho

 

[prbiker15]

Well, this should be interesting.

 

[nielsgov]

Let's hope it's as good as part 1 of the 20/20 experience. Part 2 didn't do much for me.

 

[intedomine]

This could be something extremely impressive or a career blight. Looking forward to it.

 

[superchuk5]

Either way the Super Bowl should be fun

 

[david]

Filthy sounds interesting.

 

[trevgreg]

Not his best track, but it's groovy. Radio shouldn't have a problem playing it.

 

[Danny Boy]

3.8

Ouch.

 

[superchuk5]

3.8

Ouch.

Yikes. And that opening paragraph is brutal.

Btw, this is the Pitchfork score. And they loved 20/20 Experience (but hated 2 of 2, like most of us).

 

[cobl04]

That review is scathing, looool.

It’s a really shit album, so deserving of that review.

It’s just such a shame because I LOVED 20/20 part one. That’s a 9/10 record if you ask me.

 

[lazarus]

I enjoyed both 20/20 albums (though I did prefer the first), so perhaps I'll be more partial to this.

Still cautious and afraid to actually hear it.

 

[superchuk5]

First reaction is that the album is a mixed bag and is too long. Some good songs, but a lot didnt leave a strong impression. That must be why this feels long while 20/20 was longer yet didn't feel like it went forever.

It's not a 3.8, but it's no 20/20 or FutureSex/LoveSounds.

 

[corianderstem]

Saw a tweet describing it as "R&B version of dad rock."

I'm going to listen to it, but my expectations are super low.

How I feel as well. “Wave” is an early standout, but that’s not saying much.

 

[corianderstem]

That Prince hologram rumor about the SB show better be only a rumor.

 

[superchuk5]

That Prince hologram rumor about the SB show better be only a rumor.

Bringing in a Prince hologram would kill the halftime show. Such a terrible dumb idea.

 

[corianderstem]

Prince family or estate posted on Twitter said they hadn't approved it, it also it wasn't true. Hope that's the case.

 

[prbiker15]

Want to see him in concert, that was a good halftime show. And it didn’t look like a hologram to me.
