Do the samples on Amazon MP3 do a bad job of selling the songs? I really enjoyed his last two albums but I'm not hearing much that I find exciting in the 30 second snippets.
I definitely can appreciate that it's VERY slick but there really is no reason for these songs to be 7 and 8 minutes long. Nothing would be lost by chopping them in half or at least taking a significant amount from the end where it's just Justin hoo-hoo-hooing over a repetitive beat.
Almost every song on the album would still be well beyond 2.5 minutes even when cut in half. They're just self-indulgent and it harms the quality of the album. It's boring.
lol, given that some songs can last as long as 7 minutes I'm going to say no it doesn't do a good job. Use youtube or streaming sites to sample the album.

Oh shit, he kinda does. xD
Just split the interludes in audacity and pretend they're separate tracks then, gracious.

I hope JT has Jessica Biel in one of his videos.
Nothing on JT's album does the length justice like Pyramids, and I think 20/20 is a sublime album.
I might agree if the songs didn't almost become completely new songs by the second half. I love it.

Agreed. Especially for Strawberry Bubblegum as if the song were cut in half, the best part of the song (for me) would literally be lost if we were going by how some people want these songs shorter...
Pyramids was one of my favorite tracks of Channel Orange mostly due to the length.

This. The second half of Mirrors and Let the Groove Get In are amazing.

Don't Hold the Wall and Let the Groove Get In are COMPLETELY lost on me. I can't even complete listening to them in their entirety.
Everything else, however, I am in love with.

yo i said i was gonna leave this thread, because i don't like this boring album.
but i just gotta say...suit and tie is one of the best videos in recent memory. based fincher at work.
jay z probably watched it 30 times at home later since it's the closest he'll ever get to that rat pack thing he tries to have going on.

Agree with the song length being hard to sit through sometimes. Has nothing to do with ADD... 6-8 minutes is a long ass time.
Different strokes for different folks though.

Nothing wrong with a long song, but most of the ones here are just needlessly so. It hurts the replayability of the album.
What Goes Around... Comes Around is a good example of a long song that never outstays its welcome.

The beat is different in the intro/outro though. It's not like it's the same beat for the whole 8 minutes.
You didn't lie. That song keeps evolving and packs every second of its length with something substantial. It's a full song, whereas the tracks on 20/20 are actually normal-length songs with flaccid intros and outros, the latter being the most egregious as they tend to be dragged out with disposable ad libs.
Not a second of What Goes Around can be chopped. Whole minutes of many tracks on 20/20 can be outright deleted without detriment to the song.

Okay, so Cry me a River comes on the Radio, and I realize, I don't mind the guy. I'll have to try some samples and see if I like the new album too.
Tunnel Vision by far.

This is some high level stuff. JT and Timbo killed it. The last song - Body Count sounds like a Neptunes knockoff. Worst song on the album.
