I'm jealous you're listening to them for the first time, especially future sex
They said they don't like how when Justin comes onto the scene people are like "Justin bringing credibility to pop," "Justin finally making pop good again," etc.
I can see how that would irk a pop enthusiast.
truly jealous you're experiencing those for the first time.

So many generalizations in this thread. Pop-GAF is more diverse than you'd think.
Anyway, ranking time:
1) Strawberry Bubblegum (both parts are so chill)
2) Tunnel Vision (a production masterpiece)
3) Don't Hold The Wall (see above)
4) Let The Groove Get In (I like the 80s style piano parts, the hook is meh)
Can't bother with the detritus that constitutes the rest of the album.
Eh, that's just POP-GAF's playfulness in effect. We mock every artist (and yeah the name is lame).
It's not a mark of some genuine personal vendetta.
That's like saying PoliGAF only puts out for liberal politicians.
Exactly.
Justin is this year's Frank Ocean. Which would be somewhat forgiveable if the album were something other than mediocre.
If you followed PopGAF it would be difficult to claim that there aren't artists out there doing it way better than Justin when it comes to concept and scope.

This album is

In a perfect world, we'd all be homersexual
Tunnel Vision is really fucking good. That horn at the end is 100% Aaliyah. He sounds great, too.
I've been asking how to do this for pages now. I looooved the live version of Mirrors (more so than the album version) and have been trying in vain to download the video, from which I could get the audio. No luck with any flash video download extension in Firefox, however. All I'm able to get is the opening commercial, and then dozens of small files seem to spawn, none of which are the actual video. Anyone know how to do this?
I don't represent popgaf, but I loathe 20/20 and think all three of these are really great. *.*
And popgaf has been really divided on this album, so they really shouldn't be generalized as "hating it" by you guys. There is a big chunk of them that love 20/20.

Tunnel Vision or Let The Groove Get In are my guesses.
Tunnel Vision and Mirrors
Hope Strawberry Bubblegum is next.

So what does popgaf like?
They like saying Timbo is the saving grace of this album but then complain about the sound of the album, which is in part, if not mostly, Timbo's responsibility.
Liking shorter songs, that's a complaint I understand. Yeah people are ADD nowadays but I think arguments can be made for not preferring the longer forms of songs. Another complaint I understand is not having enough dance jams, but I don't really care for that because Justin's best songs have never been the dance ones. Those two complaints I understand, and those are not specifically from PopGAF either.
PopGaf is not a single entity, we all like different things. Just because one of us or a few don't like the album it doesnt mean we all hate it. Some of our members are trying it here and consequently its turning the topic into an evaluation of PopGaf which is annoying since we are all being generalize by the taste of a few.
I dont like the 20/20 E, its not my type of sound. But Mirrors is a jam
I just listened to FSLS for the first time this week, well besides the radio hits, and HOLY SHIT is it amazing. I mostly listen to extreme metal (grind/death/black) and FSLS just flat out knocked me on my ass. So hyped for 20/20.
I agree. Information spreads like wildfire these days.
Wasting your time. This is too much for some people to grasp unfortunately.
I smiled reading this, that's awesome man. The outro to Lovestoned in particular resonates with me hard, but I love that album front to back.

As a POPGAF Elder, I enjoy 20/20. I think the contingent of pg that dislikes it, does so because it's just normal good music. Some popgaffers like things because its different and "avant garde" but it mostly sounds like shit to me. But those are my sisters and I <3 them.
