Bringing the What Back?

I finally gave in and let down my anti-pop, anti-TRL defenses for just long enough to listen to the new Justin Timberlake album, and, much as I hate to admit it, it’s really damn good (mostly due to the fact that Timbaland's spazzed-out beats and deftly layered productions are, I think the term is, "off the hook") . If this (or, for that matter, Beck) is the future of music, then I’m with Wired—the rest of the future can’t get here soon enough.
