Justin Timberlake this trend defies however. On his third studio album the 20/20 experience you can hardly find a song in under 5 minutes. And those who actually in this (still not really) radio-friendly brevity were trimmed, sound compared with the 7-8 minutes long songs rather flat and unfinished.
Justin Timberlake took time period. Not only for the production of the album - 6 years between the world-wide success FutureSex / LoveSounds and album number 3, but the vast majority of the 12 songs on the 20/20 experience are literally experience, namely sound experience. Partial playful to sound effecte rows of sound effecte and make the songs tremendously interesting and exciting. You can hardly see through the sound and sound structure at the first time. It takes time. You have to listen properly. Admittedly, this is no longer in vogue. Many people seem to have no more patience to listen properly to engage in something real. Because precisely is the new trend. It searches for the next Instanthit and comes rather already the first chorus. Therefore you have to congratulate Justin Timberlake. Not only because he has apparently re-invented again, but because he has delivered an album that wants to be discovered and explored. It challenges the audience and reminded us that music does not have to remain superficial.
For those who have already written off Justin, it should be noted that the 20/20 experience is designed as a double album. The first half, that is to say the first 10 songs we have already received. In autumn 2013, the second half of the 20's experience appears.
