Justified by Justin Timberlake (CD, Nov-2002, Jive Records USA)

Let's face it, you really, really don't want to like this guy...
Unfortunately for you and the rest of us, the hits are undeniable on this 2002 classic.

Senorita? hot.
Like I Love You? classic.
Cry Me a River? vindictive.
Rock Your Body? genius.

Alright, get over yourself and just buy the album.

Ok, Justin is younger than me, but his music is GOOD! This album is one of my favorites of all time.

Justin didn't get the kudo's he deserved for this CD. Very well put together and well worth the purchase. Even if you think he is a boy band member think again...he is very BAND all by himself. He is awesome on this CD. I was very surprised and pleased when I loved it! Great buy! Justified!

Thanks for the great cd! As advertised and plays just like a new one. I would definitely buy from you again!

I think JT is a major talent who is perhaps underestimated . His influence from Michael Jackson is apparent and a tribute.
This CD rocks me on the treadmill bigtime.

I love this cd,it is very easy to listen to.This is a very good example of a exhilirating ,dance album.

Justin classic. I've wanted this cd for a while but kept forgetting to pick it up because its so old. While buying text books for school I added it to my cart for a GREAT price...can't beat it. Added like 5 songs to my MP3 player.

One good song..........................​..............................​..............................​..............................​.........................That'​s all.

This cd by Mr. timberlake is one of my all times favorite, this artist has talented.
Mr. Timberlake could be the next Michael Jackson.

I liked the seller, seller had great communication & shipping was fast. The item was just as described...in mint condition. I bought it because checks were accepted, it's easier for me to buy items from sellers that accept checks.

This cd came in a case that was all scratched up and you could get the cd out without removing the tape. You knew this was not new and the whole cd skips. Your a bad ebayer.

the cd was for a present for my brother in law. he loved it. thank you so much. the communication was awesome.

Justin Timberlake proved that he was a talented solo artist and that he could make it without N'SYNC. Overall this was a complete cd with production from big time producers. I bought this cd being a big fan of the Neptunes.

Loved this cd but lost my 1st copy. Makes you want to dance everytime I listen to it. Much different that his current CD. Would recommend it to anyone!

What can I say! JT is the man. He's got the moves and the voice. He's the ultimate performer of our time! If it's up to him and Usher.... Justin Timberlake got it all!

I'll say straight up that I'm not nor ever was an N'sync fan. The 80's are over and so is the mandate for me to listen to and love pop..I like a bit more substance to my music. But even still, some albums or songs are so catchy, with great beats that even as pop or r&b records they make you run out to the store and purchase them. I thought this was the case w/ Timberlake, as the first single from his Justified had me boppin' my head and tapping my toes. No doubt about it, Justin has soul and can sing, so I figured with this new album he would let the whole world know who he is. Houston, we have a problem.....

First off, before you notice anything else about Justin's album the first thing that strikes your mind isnt his vocals or style, but who the producers are. Within 6 seconds of each song it becomes apparent who was on the boards that day i.e. Neptunes, Timbaland, Mcknight etc. Now, maybe it was Justin's intention to have as many flavors as possible on the album to show his range, which isnt a bad thing neccesarily, but I feel that the production overshadows the man on the mic. Justin is never really able to make a song his 'own', and that is a key thing with great artists. Even if they dont write or produce a song, great artists have the ability to make it their own, to make it impossible for anyone else sing the song in with quite the same impact- this is not the case with Justin. He does an admirable job with each song, and as I said, the boy can sing...but b/c of his lack of ability to make each song his own, the album sounds a bit schizophrenic or rather like a long impersonation 'Justin performs Timbaland' 'Justin performs Neptunes' etc. Production should never overwhelm a song, but complement the artist's style seamlessly(see Aaliyah's Aaliyah album). Maybe next album, Justin will have more of an identity to bring to the mic.

And speaking of a lack of identity, that is my next gripe with the album...Justin trying way too hard to be Micheal Jackson. Now to you younger kids out there who cant recall the late 70's and mid to early 80's, this may seem like a new sound. But, all you have to do is listen to albums like Off The Wall and Thriller to realize that the King may be gone, but he is not forgotten, as Justin has gone deep into his memory banks to channel the spirit of Micheal on many songs( most noticeably on the song Rock Your Body..when I first heard it, it sounded to me like an amalgam of 'Billy Jean' and 'Rock with you'). If I were Micheal, I'd be flattered, but I'd also urge Justin to try and cultivate his own musical identity. This is understandable seeing as Justin was in a group for so long( like Mike) and I imagine the urge to just try and do everything on the first solo album was strong. But I do hope it doesnt take Justin 6 albums to find his own voice like another artist I know who was overwhelmed by his influences( re: lenny kravitz)

My last gripe is just pure logistics, indicative of the reason why I usually avoid pop albums and most r&b- trite lyrics and formulaic production. Granted, pop music is generally not known for lyrical depth, but it also generally doesnt have lyrics that are downright corny or make me wince either. Quite a number of the songs on justified had lyrics that were ham-fisted and flat-out hokey "I want to be your lake, your bay' ...huh? ...'got laid off at your job.." ...sorry Justin, but with the amount of money you have, dont expect me to believe you can identify with a lay-off..heh.

This is one of those cd's that I had to go out and buy the first day it came out. It's just wonderful. There is a good array of different styled songs on here, so everyone can find something they'd like.

My personal favorites are: Let's Take a Ride, Senorita, Like I Love You, and Rock Your Body.

I had no dislikes about this, it's a perfect 10/10 in my book!

A great CD with terrific songs from the former NSYNCer.

Almost all the songs are terrific and would make a great addition to just about everyone's CD collection.
