PO: Justin Timberlake 20/20 Vision Craziness


Recommended Posts

Boooo

When Timbaland is at his best, he's amazing. His stuff with Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Missy Elliott, and the first two JT albums are unfuckwithable as far as 2000s pop goes. Also, 75% of Shock Value is musically awesome. Maybe an unpopular opinion, but he gets a bad rap for no reason IMHO.

 

I can dig someone else having a different opinion on his work. It's just that for me it all seems to sound the same. Sometimes I like his style and sometimes it just gets my eyes to glaze over, ya know? Almost like too much of it at once maybe? 

 

Take for example the song Come Around by MIA. Produced by Timbaland and it's the only track on Kala that is. So when I hear the record, I'm ok with that one track sounding "like Timbaland's usual stuff" because the rest of the record doesn't.

Does anyone else's copy of this album have a seemingly locked groove on "Spaceship Coupe"? Had a copy with this, returned that copy and got a new one and the new one does the same exact thing....

 

I think it was established that the US pressing has the skip present, whilst the UK pressing doesn't.

Just got this today along with part 2 and was disappointed to find that I had the skipping problem on Spaceship Coupe. I was able to fix it with a wet velvet brush. If you try it, be persistent. It took 20+ times of cleaning, drying, and playing before it would play through the skip. I have a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon with Ortofon 2M Red stylus. Very pleased with the release otherwise. My wife got me the Target releases for my birthday. :)

Fuck, I knew they wouldn't fix the skipping issue

So cleaning that groove fixes the issue?

It seems that way. I think like someone said earlier, it's a tough groove to track. That, combined with leftover gunk from the mold release compound, are probably causing the skipping. I've actually been able to fix a few skipping records using the method I described.
