Before I get into the meat of this post, I wish first to express my admiration for Anthony Fantano and his work under The Needle Drop. I am a huge fan of his, and I respect every video he's put out, not least of which including his recent review of Justin Timberlake's
The 20/20 Experience. Furthermore, this post will not be a rant. I will attempt to stay away from the dangerous cliff of "butthurt Internet troll" over which many writers of response posts often fall. I agree with, or at least understand, all of Fantano's criticisms of
The 20/20 Experience, and this post is meant to deal with what I think he missed regarding the album. (Also, I apologize that this post is a bit late - I've been away until yesterday, and I didn't check my YouTube subscriptions until this morning.)
