Justin Timberlake - Everything I Thought It Was (March 15, 2024) Album • Page 10

Bland albums are worse to me than bad albums. I liked MOTW more than this

 

Yeah, there’s just absolutely no personality to it, which sticks out even more now because pop is so personality driven.

 

I don't think I ever made it through this album. Definitely worse than MOTW or 20/20 part 2.

 

The 9 track cut down of this album is nice

 

this being a bland nothing burger doesnt change the fact that man of the woods is likely a bottom 10 album by anybody. absolutely unlistenable album

 

hate motw but i wouldn’t say its without at least a couple redeeming qualities. chris stapleton, in particular

 

Montana is a banger too

 

i also think that some of the flack was due it coming out at a time where the hate for JT was stronger than it ever had been to that point

 

MOTW isn't that bad at all, it's pretty good throughout but his promo campaign tainted it

 

With the bit of a country boom going on in pop I wonder if MOTW would have hit better today than when it was released.

 

“Bottom 10 album by anybody” is quite the claim! I’ve heard albums I like less in the past week.

 

i know that record has its apologists but it is sandpaper to my ears at every turn lmao. i dont even have the bias of jamming it from the time period since my first jam was a few months back and it is no contest easily the least ive enjoyed any lp ive jammed this year myself. do not really think it would have fared any better in 2024 but dropping it as the follow up to the 2020 era as a whole is one of the biggest falls from graces ive ever heard

this is the most 2.5 that ever walked but at least has good songs on it occasionally lol. will never buy how its somehow worse but people are always more primed to hate the new album and get nostalgic for the last one. cant wait until the soft eitiw revival in 2030 when he drops another dud

 

Not the best year for JT.

the todd in the shadows holy grail right there

 

went to the MSG show last night. was incredible. say what you want, but the man is a performer. flawless.

 

Spun 20/20 all summer when it came out. Was much less so with part 2 and cut my own tracklist and took out a lot.
MotW didn't grab me at all..I think I heard the title track or Supplies first and couldn't bear to listen to the rest.
Thought Selfish was pretty good but only returned to it once. All that to say..not hearing the "timelessness" of his most recent stuff. Shrugs all around.

 

I remember reviewing both parts of 20/20 on release and fuck, we went from a 9/10 stunner to a 5/10 record of leftovers that's still not even close to how bad MOTW was. No interest in hearing the new one.

 

My hot take is that 20/20 pt 1 was dramatically overrated due to the long wait between albums, and 20/20 pt 2 was marginally underrated because of oversaturation. I do think pt 1 is better than pt 2, but not as drastically as the reviews would lead you to believe. Plenty of fat on both.

 

I feel like the two parts are pretty equal and the reason part 2 gets a bad rep is the 2nd song sucks ass and is like 10 minutes long. It’s pretty good after that song

 

Part 1 is a no skip album for me, might be my favorite of his.
Part 2 I honestly can't remember how a single song goes except for Not a Bad Thing.
