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.

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.

CD Came In Very Good/Brand New Condition

- 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)

Ever since i was a kid i have liked justin and with this album and pt 1 is a great addition to any music lovers conllection. its been 7 years and it sounds like it but in good way. Even though most of these songs are prolly outtakes from the first experince its still be itself. TKO, GImme what i dont know, Take back the night, drink you away, and cabret, And blindness ( a target bonus track) are my favorites. JT and Robin Thicke are bringing back funk to children nothing but love for these cats

Double album came with the same record. Sent it back and got a replacement. Loving adding to my vinyl collection.

Justin only gets better with age, but the subject matter of this most recent album wasn't exactly appropriate for me to play for students in my dance classes. The clean version is an improvement, but the subject matter is still the same! I absolutely love the sound of this music, and I hope Justin keeps heading in this style direction, I just hope he finds more to sing about than just sex, drugs, and alcohol!
