Thank you!
Finally, someone who knows what they are talking about.
Ginuwine and Timbaland were a better match up then Justin and Timberlake anyway.
So I guess the "20/20 Experience" was a flop, right?

I get what the OP is saying, would I call it a flop? no, but it wasn't going to flop when he promoted the hell out of it, almost to the point of overexposure. He still isn't going to do "Confessions" numbers. 
Thats's because Timbaland in the mid/late 90s >>>> Timbland in the 21st century
20/20 is not a flop on any level. Not liking an album doesn't mean that it's a flop. People not talking about an album months after it's released also doesn't mean it's a flop. All that means is that it's not an instant classic or even a classic like that. Time will tell.
20/20 is an album that was generally well recieved, but it just lacks the kind of standout songs that Futuresex/Lovesounds had to sustain it. Overall, 20/20 probably works better as an album because it doesn't have the handful of weaker songs that Futuresex/Lovesounds had. It's like people just threw "Sexy Ladies", the will.i.am and Rick Rubin songs, and "Losing My Way" into the bushes. The title track from Futuresex/Lovesounds is one of the best songs on the album, but it's one of the overlooked songs on the album.

The same could be said about Futuresex/Lovesounds as well though.
Lyrically, FS/LS is on par with 20/20. There's corniness and cliches sprinkled throughout both albums and neither is a lyrically strong album. The melodies and beats are what drive both abums.

True but you gotta admit, there's nothing on 20/20 lyrically deep or soulful as (Another Song) All Over Again
look around man. Classic albums are talked about on here constantly.. not even classic albums. Shyt nyggas talk about Drake albums non stop. NOBODY, on here or anywhere is mentioning this Timberlake album.. The hype after it dropped ended in maybe 5 days. It happens to all great artists. Every great artist got that one forgettable album man.. lets be reality
Yeah, it sold.. but eh...
The Coli isn't the end all, be all in measuring an album though. It doesn't make it forgettable. I mean, it has two singles that are still on the charts months after they were released. He's only released two singles with one on the way. Both are successful. Forgettable is when an album drops, singles are released (but nothing really sticks), album drops with a nice first week and quickly plummets thereafter. This album just got a 31% bump and has already sold 2 million+ copies. That speaks nothing of quality, but if an album is forgettable, it's not something that's going to sell consistently. It's also not going to have two back to back Top 3 singles on the Hot 100.
I'd also like to add that there's classics that don't get threads on here. For example, Kaleidoscope Dream (don't know if it's classic) was talked about upon release and then disappeared.

Pooping on your head :umad:
2 smash hits with Tunnel Vision on the way to be his third and it's a flop.
I thought "That Girl" was gonna be the next single? They play that on the "Tomorrow hits today" station
this is also a pop/rnb album
the coli is primarily a rap forum
so you wouldnt expect to see it get discussed on here all the time
Exactly. People were bytching that the leak thread was stickied in here and not in Left Field.

He came out with album art for Tunnel Vision so I assumed that would be his next single
