A little more than six months later, it was released, consisting of more recordings from Timberlake s May-June 2012 sessions with friend Timbaland, Jerome Harmon, and James Fauntleroy. At 74 minutes and 11 (or 12) songs, its a little longer, and much of it has that feel-over-concision, part-improv -- just spit ballin -- makeup. It starts more energetically, with a frivolous and robust jam for singles night at a zoo or Rainforest Caf. The funkier and more frantic True Blood increases the energy and humor, swaps out nature effects for fantasy howls. Its ideas are exhausted after three and a half minutes, but it continues for another six. Relatively concise, Cabaret, a standout featuring Drake, revamps Timbaland s trademark stuttering drums and has some of Timberlake s more clevernauseating lines: If sex is a contest, then youre coming first; Cause I got you saying Jesus so much, its like were laying in a manger. The second half is a laborious crawl, a variety of glorified and slow bonus tracks. It consists of slumping quasi blues, passable falsetto-soul balladry, a jilted post-breakup number with an extended coda, a blaring kiss-off that shifts into air-horn-enhanced dub (why not), and a squeaky-clean adult pop love song. Thats five songs in 37 minutes, though its really six songs counting the hidden bit -- a solo acoustic ballad containing the line If I could, Id fly you away on a big ol pair of wings. The album was sold separately and bundled with part one, not as The Complete 2020 Experience, but as The 2020 Experience: The Complete Experience.
