When JT's sophomore effort came out (Future Sex/Love Sounds) I knew there was a problem. See, JT wants to make a timeless record like Thriller - but instead he paired himself with buzz-worthy producers and flavor-of-the-week rappers to make a medicore (and dated) dance record. 

Now that the teasers for his new album (The 20/20 Expericence) start to creep out, I can see that he's attempting a "throwback" vibe which will come close to representing a timeless sound. Let's hope it's not too contrived. On that note, I liked his new single "Suit & Tie" better when it was called "Do Something Special" by Five Special. Dig.
