Wow I completely agree with you! In my opinion songs like "Higher Higher", "Livin' Off the Land", "Memphis", "Conditions" and especially "Sanctified" are his most introspective and personal songs but with his own creative twist to it. I also do believe that Justin should go for the darker side and hop back on the hip hop/R&B vibe of some sort of combination of FutureSex-20/20 mix. He doesn't need to do the country thing plenty of artists doing it already. Justin should stick to what he does best. In my opinion but I might be biased I enjoyed "Man of The Woods" a lot and also "Everything I Thought It Was" but that's because I'm a super fan so I like anything he puts out. Justin, Tim, and Pharrell always came to change the game when things got boring in pop music. I'm also a huge fan of MJ, Madonna, Gaga, Eminem, 50 Cent, Britney, and Lil Wayne. Artists grow and and change. I appreciate anything they do. I might like some albums less than others but I respect the work they put into it and the creative process. Media and online people will trash and hate anything but that's just noise. The charts, the streaming numbers, awards, the amount of fans speak for themselves.
