The forgotten follow up to the first classic

I loved this album as a kid but I’m listening to it in full
for the first time in 10 years to see how it holds up

Some of it is pretty dated/corny but there’s some slappers ngl

I dont

Valid

Few really strong songs (Amnesia, You got it On, Not a Bad Thing, Drink you Away) in an album of mostly misses or overlong songs. The first part was incredible but also very indulgent and didn’t need a follow up.

He should have used all leftovers from Part 1 instead of recording new songs. With that it does have some great songs though

Amnesia
Cabaret
Drink You Away
Not A Bad Thing

gosh I forgot about the Jay-Z collab on this thing

absolute trash

What leftovers were from pt1?

Generally I only listen to the singles & cabaret

forgettable
tbh cant remember the last time I played part 1 either

Not sure what leftovers made Part 2

After Part 2 dropped Timbo said they had like 12 records that didn’t make Part 1. Wish we could get those some day

Insane

Yeah I do wonder why he made a whole diff album

Definition of came and went

Part one was huge, part 2 had that annoying TKO single and disappeared instantly

It’s absolutely wild how this could’ve been a James Fauntleroy album but he love chocolate cake too much to be marketable

Part 2 was also pretty big, take back the night and not a bad thing were two of the biggest singles from the era after suit and tie and mirrors

Gonna try running the live setlist and see if that sounds good as a blend of the two

The beginning of the end for his run
Cabaret not being a single was lunacy

You already got it on.

I feel like 20/20 was so big he shoulda waited longer for this

tbh he basically did the whole deluxe album thing before it was hot

I don’t really think pt 2 being a miss mattered much for JT. It was Man of the Woods which was the beginning of the end. An idea that Pharrell’s IDF ass gave him. F*** Pharrell

Take Back the Night underperformed...

James never wanted to be in the spotlight

Calling it pt 2 was a huge mistake

They were always made to be a double album but yeah it unfortunately was not a good move
