FutureSex / LoveSounds [PA] by Justin Timberlake (CD, Sep-2006, Jive Records USA)

Justin....... Justin..... Justin......, this kid has an eye or should i say a ear for music, he is the only and i mean ONLY Artist that can go from the every day pop sounding album to a varity of instruments, soul, hip hop, r&b, it's truely remarkable. Not knowing what to expect when i bought the cd, i was shocked by all of the different sounds that the album had to offer, if you bought the cd then you will know what i'm talking about the track 11, it starts off as a poppy, then turns into a soulful sound it's brilliant, something for everyone.A++++++

Simply amazing.. The sounds from Justin's new album can be compared to the likes of Prince, Michael Jackson, and I'd even throw in a little James Brown.. Its definately beating the stereotype of a sophomore album. With most production done by Timbaland the beats are tight and easy to listen to. There is no need to preview the album first, you'll like it.

From begininng to end you'll hear funky smooth grooves with a pop/bounce feel.

I've always been a fan of Justin Timberlake. I love the transition he made from being a pop boy-band singer to a R&B style. He truly can make any kind of music sound good, and this cd is no exception. This cd will definitely keep you dancing throughout, great beats and vocals.

So if you're a fan of JT I suggest you should try this out, you're bound to find a song you'd love.

I had heard about 3 songs on the radio already from Justin so that was enough to make the purchase. I was so impressed when I heard this album and every song was great. This is r&B at it's best. The WHOLE CD is excellent. Love it.

I bought this album, anticipating a similar direction to Justified, which is an album I really liked. I was quite dissapointed with the result though, as each song sounds similar to the last. There are two stand out tracks, 'My Love' and the first single 'Sexy Back', which only stands out because it's been around for a while! Other than that, it's a pretty bland album.

Producers, The Neptunes are absent this time round and it seems to be a joint venture between Timbaland and Timberlake, which is no bad thing. Timbaland does a decent job as producer and Justin's vocals suit the album and subjects, it's just that it sounds the same all the way through! Just a bit more variety would have made this a far better album.

It is well put together, performance and production wise, it just needs more!

Oh, and for an album which seems to have two names, there aren't enough songs!

EDIT:

Ok, so I've had a few more listens to the album after being told it was better than I had said it was, and I agree, it isn't that bad!

It's still not as good as it could (or maybe should) have been, but it has it's good points. It has more than the two stand-out tracks I pointed out, as almost all of the others have grown on me a bit!

This an album aimed at his fanbase, who will really like it. If you pick up this album, don't compare it to Justified and give it a few listens and i think you will find that you like it!

I Love this new form of music myself. I was not a fan before but now I call the Radio station every day to hear Sexy Back and won the CD. Listen to it daily. Nice mix of soul and WTG JT for coming with the times!
Very nice.

i like the new change in jt's style and music. it works for him and i love it!!! the songs are very up beat and i like it, i like how he is with timbaland, you gotta love timbaland!

pretty good.. not 10/10 though.. worth buying however and the lyrics to voice ration is superb. not to mention the overall acoustic ratio to hyms

Timbaland is his usual creative self and the lyrics are tight. Great transition and a smooth flow.

Justin is a bad white boy...

If you like gutter rap that has plagued most cd shelves and hip hop stations you most likely won't like this... but if you are a true fan of R&B don't hesitate!

It seemed a bit sketchy to purchase this particular CD since the cover looks a bit... unusual? The tracks keep my ass shaking, but the only track that I mock is "Losing My Way." Justin sings about some Bob guy that can't control his drug problem, and personally, Justin doesn't sound authoritative when it comes to talking about drugs. Overall, it's a sexy, up-beat CD for a white boy. Love it!

This album has much more soul than I expected. Only great artists can morph that easily into different genres.

Justin Timberlake breaks out of his shell with this cd all the songs are destined to be hits. I decided to buy the cd because I have liked all the songs that have been released so far and wanted a personal cd so I could listen to them when ever I so choosed to.

I LOVE this CD. It is perfect for anywhere and anytime. I love to listen to it while cleaning the house. There is nothing that I don't like about this.

I liked this CD because it has that feel good swing to it - It makes you wanna dance and then there are other songs that make you wanna say "oh yeah" . It's just a feel good CD - that you can vibe to. I love Justin and I think that this is one of his best CD's yet.

The cd was very good. I could listen to it all day. The music is so much better than his previous work. He has a mix of upbeat songs and a few slow songs. I definitely recomend it.

I liked justin before this CD. He is horrible! He sounds like a dying cat. MEOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Horrible thats all I can say.

I absolutely love JT and gettin this CD on here for as cheap as i did, it was awesome! i have not bought a CD in so long and it was nice to get a CD. n Especially since it was new and since i got it at the price i got! :) The guy who i bought it from was a little shady by not getting a hold of me and not replying to my emails but i was really happy with the product. I love the quality and how the product was as shown on the page! I would definitley recommend to anyone who loves pop to pick up his CD!

JUSTIN OH MY GOSH WHAT WERE YOU THINKING???
Okay I understand people wanting to venture into new fields of music but to go from boybander pop boy to independent pop boy now try to go to techno pop boy...COME ON Justin, you should spend all the money you are making on this c.d. and buy some dignity.
--The song "Sexy Back" I swear when I first heard it the D.J. on the radio had made a mistake in announcind the next song...Justins lines make him sound like a woman..and the other guy in the song has a really deep voice and that just makes it even worse for Justin...
Two Thumbs WAY WAY Down on this one J.T.

This is a great album. It is versatile and has an overall sound that is amazing. The beats are great, the vocals are great, the lyrics are great--everything great!

in following the footsteps of micheal almost, this guy has used his band to its full potenial and then he couldnt be held back any loger. Justin was really justified with this album. One that will place any where any occasion thats how you know when you have a classic album. This is a start to finish CD start you just press play.

I heard one song of Timberlake and wanted to hear some more. I am not sorry I spend money! It is great easy to listen singer. I love the music and songs. Great! Buy it!

First off I am not a huge fan of JT and bought the CD last year when it first came out... didn't even like "Sexyback" truth be told (due to the radio stations playing it so much) and I can't even recall what made me purchase it in the first place LOL

That being said I must say that when I got it I played it OUT!! I was so surprised at how many jams were on the CD. Listened to it day and night, at work, at home while cooking, gardening, reading told everyone I spoke with about it since I was like BLOWN away. Had several favorites from the "GET" and man I just couldn't wait for the radio stations to catch up with the ENTIRE CD because they were still playing "Sexyback" and as time went by and I would hear more singles released and played on the radio my smile was broad and my ears delighted that some of my favorites made it to the radio waves. Timberland and JT did a AWESOME job on this CD with mixing up slow jams (that will move you to close your eyes and nod your head) and dance music that will make you run out to the dancefloor at a club. With the exception of a few songs this CD is solid and I have this thing that if I like if out of a 12 songlist CD I like over 8 of them that is pretty dang good! For the record my faves are:

1. Until the end of Time
2. Lovestoned
3. My Love
4. Future Sex/Love Sounds
5. Losing My Way
6. All Over Again
7. Summer Love
8. What Goes Around (the remix version)
9. Sexyback
