The 20/20 Experience - 2 of 2 (Deluxe)

Feels like the victory lap after part 1, still confident but a touch less essential. Same DNA as the first one, long grooves, smooth falsetto, Timbaland still cooking in the background, just doesn't hit quite as consistently across the whole thing. Drink You Away is the standout, that one's got a rawer, almost country tinged energy to it that stands out from the rest. Good record, just living a little in the shadow of its predecessor. Solid part two, just not quite part one.
