The 20/20 Experience (Justin Timberlake's latest album)-Track by Track Review


Pusher Love Girl- It’s rare that an album starts with a song that is 8 minutes in length….however this song does a good job of setting the state for your 20/20 experience with Mr. Timberlake. The chorus is great, but I just wish the song was a bit shorter.

8/10

 

Suit & Tie- I didn’t like this song the very first time I heard it but man did it grow on me. The song features Jay-z, the great Brooklyn rapper. However JT is the star of the show, and Jay’s weak verse can’t steal the spotlight. The song has a varied beat, and is ridiculously catchy.

9.5/10

 

Don’t Hold the Wall- This song is really interesting. It has an Arabic feel to it(which seems quite common on Timberland produced songs). The lyrics are very clever here, and it’s clear that this midtempo song should have been the first song in my opinion.

9/10

 

Strawberry Bubblegum- J.T. slows things down a bit with Strawberry Bubblegum. Timbaland continues to add his vocals to the mix. Justin does a good job here blending his voice with the sultry beat. I think the chorus is also pretty clever. “Hey hey hey hey hey, smackin that strawberry bubblegum”.

8.5/10

 

Tunnel Vision- T.V. is a tremendous uptempo song. I love it because it sounds pretty fresh and original. However J.T. doesn’t leave his comfort zone and delivers. The beat is really something special.

10/10


Spaceship Coupe- A slower song, but it’s really nice. I find the chorus really good. The song doesn’t feel too long, even though its about 7 minutes.

8.5/10

 

That Girl- JT and the Tennessee kids perform lol! This song is decent, but doesn’t that sound that original. However it does keep the album’s cohesiveness.

8/10


Let the Groove Get In- This is an awesome song. I love the chorus, and the beat. It kind of reminds me of MJ’s Wanna Be Startin Something song. In any case this is JT doing what he does with ease.

9.5/10

 

Mirrors- Mirrors is a song that grew on me. It’s a heartfelt song with a typical TImbaland beat. The lyrics are what drive the song. This is another song that is long, but doesn’t feel too long. The last part of the song is a tad bit too repetive.

9/10

 

Blue Ocean Floor- This is a very slow tempo song, but its effective. You just gotta listen to the JT’s clever lyrics. This song makes me feel like I’m underwater haha.

8/10


I give this album a 9.5/10. Its not perfect but the good outweighs the average easily…..Suit and Tie Ish!

Doja Cat Albums Worst to Best

 Doja Cat has been one of my favorite rapper/singers of the past few years. Let's see which albums are the best from her. 5) Amala (88)- Doja’s first album is honestly pretty damn good. You can tell she was still refining her sound tho on this. The last 3 songs “Juicy”, “Tia Tamera”, and “Mooo” are so good. “Candy” is another banger. The album is really well balanced being pretty much good in all areas but not really great in any tho. Favorite Track: Mooo. 4) Scarlet (90)- Believe it or not, this was an album I was on the fence about getting. I’m glad I got it. This is a rap heavy album but there’s still plenty of singing here and there. “Demons” and “F**k the GIrls” are Doja at her roughest. “Attention” was a great single. “Agora Hills” is a nice cute track. The monster single “Paint the Town Red” is the best track however. This album wa a big departure for her, but for the most part it paid off. Fav. Track Paint the Town Red. 3) Vie (92)- This was Doja returning to her pop roots,...

Video Game Review: Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth

 I happened to beat this game recently for the first time in I was just in awe at how epic this game is. Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth is a sequel to Final Fantasy 7 Remake (which I played on the ps4). This game was a ps5 exclusive however. I know I needed a ps5 if I was gonna play it. And last year I made that happen. This is a continuation of the story of Cloud, Tifa, Aerith, and Barrett as they fight against the Shinra Corporation and the evil Sephiroth. I'll try not spoil much. When the game starts you play as Zack who is a solider like Cloud. You saw Zack at the end of Remake. Basically story wise there is another dimension in this game and you play as Zach in it here and there. There is a relationship meter that the main character Cloud has with every party member….answering certain questions one way or another will change the relationship. I found this to be a cool touch that the first game barely had any resemblance of. The game's graphics are outstanding and characters look ...

Album Review: Doja Cat-Vie

  The much anticipated latest Doja Cat album! I was very curious to see where she'd go after the dark rap heavy Scarlet. The path she took was a 80s sounding pop album. It took a few listens for the album to click with me but yeah its awesome. Doja is in her zone here on this album. She sings a lot and acts as her own featured rap artist which is interesting. The first 3 songs are pretty strong. "Cards" is sultry. I love "Jealous Type" too (the lead single). "AAAH MEN!" might be my favorite song however. The production is great but maybe not the best she's ever had. I liked most every song. "Silly!Fun!" and "Come Back" are also excellent. As far as features go there's only SZA on " Take Me Dancing". So basically we have a very strong album here...but maybe not quite as good as Planet Her but it’s very close. Maybe I'll do a Doja Cat album ranking in the near future. She's been one of my favorite artists sin...
