Justin Timberlake has been almost omnipresent this week, between rumors that he will be performing SXSW, his week-long residency at Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, and last Saturday’s appearance on SNL. Now, his third solo full-length The 20/20 Experience — of which we’ve already heard “Suit And Tie,” “Mirrors,” and two other tracks — is available for full stream over at iTunes, oddly, instead of the Timberlake co-owned and recently relaunched Myspace. Check it out here and let us know what you think in the comments.

dude… no
Sexy is most decidedly back
We could all tell from your avatar. Keep it nasty, Maverick.
futuresex/optometrysounds
I don’t know what optometry sounds are but I want to hear them
It lets you see things very loudly
Your suit, your tie & your panties are about to be on the floor.
talker.
Enjoying it. Still don’t understand ‘Suit & Tie’ though. It’s just so anemic. And Jay-Z sounds bored as well.
The first brand new song (Don’t Hold the Wall?) is slick, has the thrust (foreshadowing) of FutureSex but the soundworld of this new summer vibe they’re going for. I’m liking, anyone have a tracklisting?

You can do better! WWJTD?
I downvoted you… but I kind of wanted to upvote you for trusting your first impression that well
The first one is one of my favs on the thing
Digging the first track. It’s definitely making up for the sterility of Suit & Tie, IMO.
Your avatar for the win.
Cats undah tha stahs!
*nods* I knew what is was. Its a good album, GREAT album cover.
this is a lot more weird than i was expecting after hearing “suit & tie” and “mirrors” – and i mean that in the very best way possible.
Fuck you iTunes. Why can’t artists start using Google Music?
this sounds like the good kind of butts.
this is very nice
Man, I wish all the songs were on the level of “Tunnel Vision” and “Don’t Hold the Wall”
i think they are?
Spaceship Coupe is holding the album back.
Buttt… Spaceship Coupe samples Four Tet! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKkwA-H5k2M)
I was just listening to the album at lunch and thought the same thing. Spaceship Coupe is the only song that over does it
Streaming on iTunes is kinda like listening to music in a VIP bar you are not allowed into. Sorry I could not make it guys. I’ll wait outside, you’ll tell me how the party went. Bloody hell, if I may.
I’m no spokesperson for iTunes for sure, but it is free to use. iTunes doesn’t cost anything to have on your computer, so I don’t understand the VIP thing.
I can’t speak for frenchparadox, but my one source of internets is a Chromebook, on which you cannot install iTunes. :(
Well the VIP bar is usually free but it is hard to get there. Same for iTunes for people with Linux (impossible to install except with Wine which does not make iTunes work very well) or Windows (this is just slow as hell and memory-consuming).
Still there are ways to listen to music in a VIP bar, but hey, have it playing on the radio and it is much straightforward and available to anybody. I usually prefer a streaming applet on the artist’s website so that everybody can easily access.
I can understand that. Having the album streaming on the artist’s site would be a great idea, however I’m sure there’s big time deals going on between iTunes and Timberlake’s record company.
I have a Windows Phone so I use the Zune software. Which is actually pretty good by the way. It’s turned into Xbox music for windows 8 though.

no you can leave
Daaaang. You just smushed Smush.
Ouch!
You can be in my group forever and always, smush
I appreciate that Nathan, but I was under the assumption that you were already part of my group.
It was an asshole thing to say, I know, and I humbly and sheepishly accept my downvotes. There was, however, a kernel of sincerity to what I said.
The second half of “Don’t Hold The Wall” is certifiably Based
you crazy for this one timbaland
This album is ridiculous, JT at his best and Timbaland’s entire production history dragged somehow brilliantly into the present, plus a few new tricks. This is much, much better than the singles suggested.
The second part of Pusher Love Girl is so damn ridiculously fun and great. I am in love.
True, but the intro reminds me of this though:
i just want to go on record saying this album is fucking great
I agree with Chuck.
already addicted to ‘Pusher Love Girl’. what a way to kick down the door.
Return of JT: B+
Return of Timbaland: A++++
Timbo totally steals the show. The codas and breakdowns are killer. His best production since peak Missy. Justin has made real progress as a crooner, but he’s still no Maxwell. Plus, Missy always brought the funnies; the “silly” songs here (“Strawberry Bubblegum,” “Spaceship Coupe”) sound like rejected Digital Shorts (“there’s only room for two” *cheesy back-up vox: “me and you…”), and that has as much to do with the melodies as the lyrics.
The last track is the coolest I think, sounds very much like Baths, but at the same time doesn’t.
This is good.
If Mike Will Made It is the next Timbaland, who will be his JT?
This assumes that Future is the Jay-Z to Mike Will’s Timbo: uses a few of his tracks each album, but sounds incredible on his beats.
I can assure you that Mike Will Made It is not the next Timbaland. If he’s lucky he’ll be the next… I dunno, Polow da Don.
I dunno man, to me he’s got that style like Timbaland where you can tell a song is made by him really obviously, but he’s really adaptable unlike a Lex Luger or something. Look at all the different styles he’s pulled off: aggressive tracks like “Walking Lick”, all of the incredible ballads he’s made lately: “Body Party”, “773 Love”, etc. And the whole crossover that seems to be happening with him from Rap to Pop. We’ll have to wait and see if he ever makes incredible album collaborations like Timbaland did with Aaliyah, Missy, and Justin, but I think he’s got a bright future rather than just being a producer of the moment like Luger, etc.
Haven’t listened just yet, do they take ‘em to the briiidge at any point?
I think someone literally says that at one point. I hope I’m not imagining that. Also they do say ‘from Memphis Tenessee’.
Yup, in the middle of “That Girl”
Welcome back, JT. Again.
Why can’t I stream this? The link takes me to a page in iTunes with just a picture of JT and the words “Justin Timberlake” and I am freaking out because I want to stream it.
Click play on the picture of the album
Yo, quick question? Does JT drown himself at the end of this album?? It sure sounds like it but I can’t be sure.
I fell asleep. love JT tho.
As a whole it kind of sounds like one big R&B jam session
I am absolutely okay with that
Has Spin always been this irritating? In their writing, I mean. I always think of them as one of the “popular” magazines from back in the day. The recent restructuring seems to have brought on dudes more pretentious than Pitchfork’s best. Maybe it’s just me. http://www.spin.com/articles/justin-timberlake-the-20-20-experience-stream-review
That was in fact super irritating!
I agree with you, Brandon Soderberg is especially irritating.
You must understand the pressures of being both a Spin writer and knowing everything. Most mortals would crack.
Soderberg is a prick
Every once in awhile listening to a straight up radio ready groove album from someone who knows how to do it…and do it well….makes me remember how fucking good Prince used to be.
This is a pretty great album on first listen. Suspect it will only get better with more listens.
After a handful of listens I feel like this kinda sucks.
The key to enjoying this album is not to think too hard about it. Just sit back and enjoy the ride. Pretend it’s simply harmless pop done really, really, well. Ya know, pretend it’s just Justin Timberlake.

Not even remotely trying to be anything like D’Angelo.
Every person or critic that throws out the D’angelo comparison makes me think they haven’t really listened to the album yet
I’d imagine this gentleman above us probably just read Spin’s article in less than 30 seconds and then gave us his thoughts on it.
I always love talking to music fans like this guy. I just politely nod at all the wrong things they say.
Seriously, though. D’Angelo? …. D’Angelo?
(BTW his name has a capital A)
*D’Angelo
It tells me they listened to Pusher Love Girl, heard a mild similarity to that song D played at the BET Awards and decided JT was aping D’Angelo.
how about a modernized marvin gaye + stevie wonder?
you can feel he’s been influenced by Frank Ocean. Album of the year currently. Certainly pop album of the year.
Blue Ocean Floor is the best of the bunch. Don’t Hold The Wall comes in close second. I don’t get the whole D’Angelo comparison either.
# of times I’ve listened to this album = # of times I feel like I’ve had sex with JT
