Common wisdom holds that debut albums have an autobiographical slant, so it's hard to believe that Justin Timberlake's first non-'N Sync outing doesn't purloin much of its subject matter from the singer's breakup with Britney Spears. Half the songs are about the abrupt severing of a romance and the singer's rather hard-hearted 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." But Timberlake apparently thinks it does, since he christened his record Justified. He also seems to enjoy boasting about the swinging single life, with many of the songs here almost gratuitously lascivious. Asides like "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 the singer 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 on the charts. With the help of hip-hop producers Pharrell Williams and Chad Hugo of the Neptunes, Timbaland, and P. Diddy, Timberlake has turned out a remarkably cohesive and sophisticated slice of club-friendly R&B. --Jaan Uhelszki

- After Playing "Justified",I"m NOT
I pray this isn't the future of music.There are a couple of tracks worth listening to,but the rest are just drum machines and rap,and Justin trying to be Black.{Hey,I can rap too!!!}

- Horrible
I still haven't recieved my CD and it has been a month.I guess I'll have to contact the seller again so that I can get a refund, although I would think that she would contact me to see if I had recieved the CD since I've already emailed her once.I am not a satisfied customer at all!

- brilliant!!! great songs, fantastic production
if you like pop, if you enjoy listening to "off the wall" or "thriller", don't wait 10 years when justin may be (or may be not) crowned the king of pop to listen to his music. This is one of the greatest pop albums released in this last 8 years. Fantastic melody and lyrics together with brilliant production. Along with "back to black" from amy winehouse, "come away with me" from norah jones and "crazy ex-girlfriend" from miranda lambert this is one of the greatest albuns released in the beginning ...

Rating: - Justifiable
Justifiable is the release of this album. Justin Timberlake has stepped into a new direction. Leaving *NSYNC to explore the solo venue has been the right choice.
He has grown ,significantly, from his Mickey Mouse and early *NSYNC Days. Co-producing "JUSTIFIED" Justin chose those he wanted to work with, and the singles with the right formulas. "Like I Love You" the first single, he fought for, and this push paid off.
Within days of the unofficial "Like I Love You" radio release it shot ... Read More
