Amazon.co.uk Review
Common wisdom dictates that a debut album be given an autobiographical slant, so it's hard not to believe that Justified, Justin Timberlake's first non-*N Sync outing, doesn't purloin much of its subject matter from the singer's break-up with Britney Spears. Half of the songs are about the abrupt severing of a romance and the singer's rather hardhearted stance. Sure he may have been the wronged party, but that doesn't excuse the inflexible emotional posture revealed in "Cry Me a River", "Never Again", and the sniping "Last Night". He also appears to feel warranted in partaking in the salubrious joys of a swinging single life then boasting about it, since many of the songs seem to be almost gratuitously lascivious. Lines such as "I could think of a couple positions for you" from "Right for Me", and "Better have you naked by the end of this song" from "Rock Your Body" will catapult Timberlake right off Radio Disney. But Timberlake shines when he moonwalks into more adult terrain, turning his back on the innocent dance-pop that put *N Sync in the charts. With the help of hip-hop producers the Neptunes, Timbaland and P Diddy, Timberlake has turned out a remarkably cohesive and sophisticated slice of radio-friendly R&B. --Jaan Uhelszki

Customer Reviews

[3.5]-The album is pretty entertaining- not colorless at all
I have to say that, for a debut album, it's not bad - he's got a few really good tracks in here. Justin's Pop roots was pulled out then replaced with R&B and light hip-hop. Some of the songwriting is downright corny lyrically but several of the songs were well done by the Neptunes and Timbaland, they made this album more than Justin.

The ballads are not that great to me but the dance tracks are well done. The tracks that stand out to me are "Cry Me a River", "Rock Your Body", "Senorita", "Last Night", "Still On My Brain", "What You Got (Oh No)", and "Let's Take a Ride".

Another drawback to this album is Justin Timberlake vocal pitch. In almost every song that he performed and sang, I felt as though he was searching for some form of range within his style throughout this album. He obviously had overdone the Michael Jackson-y stuff a bit much. As other reviewers have said, many of the tracks do have that trademark "Off The Wall"/"Thriller" sounds to them. Hopefully, Justin will phase out of that and found his own sound; even if it is a mixture as long he shows some form of originality. Justin Timberlake has a lot of talent and creativity and I hope he keeps up the effort.

`Justified' is a versatile production and arrangements that works extremely well and appeals to a lot of listeners. Justin had proved to be the best bet for success amongst the boy band stream and with that, I'm definitely interested in hearing his future release in order to see if he'd actually worked on those mention setbacks.

Pretty Good
This album, I think is a pretty good collection of hits, everyone knows the main ones, such as "Cry Me A River", "Rock Your Body", "Like I love you" and "Senorita". It's also pretty interesting to listen to when you find out that 12 of these tracks were written for Michael Jackson

I was surprised - it's actually a good album!
I have finished listening to 'Justified' by the wonderful Justin Timberlake. I am surprised with this, it's actually a really nice album to listen to. Almost all the songs are well sung by him. I love the piano ballad never again and seems to be written to Britney Spears. Saying how much she'd broken his heart and would never forgive her and when you listen to the lyrics you can feel what his saying. I love the song 'still on my brain' which I believe is to Britney too. There real nice ballads. I also love the tracks 'Like I love you' 'rock your body' and 'last night' those r n b dancy tracks. This is a great effort from Justin well done!
