The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2 Explicit Lyrics

Part 2 is so much better than part 1. I was a bit disappointed by the first CD. I just felt the songs were too long and drawn out without much of a payoff. The songs on this CD are still fairly long (anywhere from 5 - 12 minutes) but it doesn't feel like he's just simply repeating a hook over and over to extend it. There's a great mix of styles including an 80's style dance number, Take Back the Night, and a bluesy ballad called Drink You Away. The pop tunes you've probably already heard on the radio, TKO and It's Not A Bad Thing. Overall this is a very satisfactory selection of music and I'm a bit addicted to it at the moment. It's been on repeat in my car for two weeks.

The item was good.

Well, I didn't know what to expect with this one but I find myself liking it more than the 1st one. The songs are all still long, with a few being 5 mins or so but the content is just better. I found the 1st to be the "love" album and this one to be the "party" album. Don't get me wrong, there are some ballads on this one but even though the content on the 1st was more upbeat, the lyrics were geared towards more love for me than this one, which is still "lovey" but a bit more fun. If that makes sense. Overall, it's a 2 of 2 worth owning.

- update - i've increased the review to 4 stars. after giving it more chances, this album actually grew on me a lot more. while i did give it more criticism before with my previous posted review (below), its actually not as bad i was made it out to be. while it was difficult at first, it does take sequential listens - but at the same time, i received a new sound system and that greatly made me hear it in better detail. i didnt bother listening to this via iTunes when it was announce that it would stream entirely for free [i dont support Apple as you can see]. Instead, i just went ahead and purchased on CD, a mere few days before release. that is, until Amazon shipped it and found out i can listen to it in its entirely via Amazon MP3. But on point, compared to Experience 1 of 2, this record is very difficult to listen to. The production value is obviously different, and so are the lyrical themes, as this album takes approach of a more, dark fitting. while i do have a fondness for music being even somewhat dark, Experience 2 of 2 doesnt really do it a mature sense. the single 'Take Back the Night' was an easy listener from a few months ago, as it felt like a reminiscent of Michael Jackson's 'Off the Wall' days, therefore assuming this record would be a strong follow up. In fact, even with Experience 1 of 2, i ended up listening to the non-single songs quite a bit. You know when you have a made a valuable production, when half, most, or even everything on the record is listenable and repeatable. in Experience 2 of 2's case, it wasnt like that for me. I normally dont like shuffling and hopping over songs out of order, but it seemed like i didnt have a choice for this record. Stand Out Tracks: True Blood (very groove-popish and lengthy) Take Back the Night (Off the Wall reminiscence) Amnesia (sounds like a "sort-of" sequel to Mirrors)

CD Came In Very Good/Brand New Condition

While everything about this album is amazing from production to vocals (jt and timbo hammered it out of the park again) and being a complete departure from the first half, I still have not received my copy yet :/ all albums ive purchased have arrived within 2 weeks and it has been 5 weeks since i placed the order now and still no sign of the album showing up! Really disappointed with amazons shipping methods! :(

I bought this item because I was going to his concert in a few weeks. The price is cheaper on amazon than any other site and it shipped quickly. The second CD is a little more up beat them the first. The songs are still needlessly long but it's a really good purchase. Great album with a great sound for JT.

Me llegó enseguida y sin un rasguño. Fenomenal. Recomiendo este CD a toda persona que le guste la buena música. Si bien a mi gusto me pareció mejor su antecesor, The 20/20 Experience, este álbum es un regalo perfecto para tus oídos. Desde la oscuridad de la gran mayoría de canciones de este CD, véase TKO, hasta la voz angelical en Not a Bad Thing. Una vez más Justin hace una obra maestra.

This album is fantastic! It's a little darker than the first half, with some really good beats and melodies. Justin describes this half as 'the older, 'evil' sister' of the first half, and he's spot on with that description! There's a good mix of fast/slow songs, but the overall sound is that of classic RnB with a futuristic edge. I've been listening to this album pretty much constantly all week (on a pre-release livestream), and rather than getting bored of it, it gets better and better! I will be playing this album for a very long time! If you like JT, or RnB in general, you will love this :)

素晴らしいクオリティです。 近頃流行りのサウンド作りをまったく無視して、ジャスティン ティンバーレイクの艶のある歌声を生かし、生音を重視したライブを意識したようなトラックがいいですね。 レコードの音質で聴きたかったので、手に入ってよかったです。 間違いなく名盤の一つとなるでしょう。

Nun ist sie also komplett, die 20/20 Experience. Mit dem zweiten Teil zu seinem im Frühjahr erschienen Album The 20/20 Experience veröffentlichte Justin Timberlake sein gesamtes als Doppelalbum angelegtes Schaffenswerk des vergangenen Jahres. Das Comeback ist damit zumindest musikalisch erst einmal abgeschlossen. Viele Fans waren vom Erstwerk abgeschreckt. Die Songs zu lang, die Melodien zu kompliziert oder gar zu einfallslos und dies waren nur einige Punkte, die viele zu bemängeln hatten. Nun, wie fügt sich das zweite Werk in das Klangspektrum der Kompletterfahrung ein? Zuerst eine kleine Erleichterung für alle Skeptiker. Auf The 20/20 Teil 2 sind nun tatsächlich ein halbes Dutzend Songs, die nicht über die 6 Minuten andauern. Die Songs, die jedoch nach einmaligem (ich empfehle aber immer ein Album nicht nach der auditiven Premiere zu bewerten) Hören im Kopf bleiben, sind - wie auch auf Teil 1 - diejenigen, die unsere tradierten Längenerwartungen erschüttern. TKO, True Blood oder Not a Bad Thing (bei letzterem handelt es sich wohl eher um zwei Songs im Gewand von einem), fallen durch Soundeffekte auf, schaffen Klangerlebnisse und gehen unter die Haut. Was Justin auf Teil 2 allerdings besser gelingt als auf dem Vorgänger ist, dass auch die "kürzeren" Stücke zu überzeugen wissen. Ob klassischer Pop, lupenreiner Soul oder Retrodisko, die Songs bieten alle etwas unterschiedliches, sind abwechslungsreich und eingängig. Die Melodien sind einfacher, stehen nicht mehr hinter der - wie auch auf dem ersten Teil - hervorragenden Produktion zurück. Elektronische Soundummantelungen sind keineswegs die einzigen Produktionsmittel, an denen sich das Produzententeam rund um Timbaland bediente. Die Songs wirken abwechslungsreicher, weil sie authentischer produziert sind. Von der Instrumentation bis zu den Genrebrüchen, 20/20 Teil 2 wirkt "sicherer" - aber dadurch auch weniger wagemutig - als die Erstlingserfahrung. Damit steht Teil 2 näher an dem Justin Timberlake, den wir von 2006 noch in Erinnerung hatten. Kurzum, die überwiegende Anzahl der Songs ist kürzer, melodisch eindrucksvoll und stark produziert. Sie geben den eingesessenen Fans die Klangerlebnisse, die man als natürlichen Fortschritt gegenüber Justified und Futuresex/Lovesounds bezeichnen kann. Nur zu empfehlen.

Grand fan de Justin il me fallait cet album pour compléter ma collection et concernant cet album au début j'étais un peu septique car étant resté sur FS/LS ( qui est pour moi son meilleur album, un chef d'oeuvre ) j'étais un peu surpris mais c'est un album qui se bonifie avec le temps et surtout depuis qu'il a sorti son nouvel album MOTW en 2018 on s'aperçoit tout la valeur de 20/20 Experience ( avec tout le respect à MOTW ) que j'apprécie mais qui est en dessous de 20/20 ( Avis Perso ) Bref la collab' Timberlake x Timbaland c'est le must.
